One of my favorite Pinterest discoveries is DIY cleaning supplies. You know I love buying cleaning supplies but it is so expensive and toxic and all that. So as my cleaning supply cache has dwindled I have started making my own. I pin all of these to my home management board, there are lots of others there too. I just haven't tried all of them yet.
Mama Lou's Top DIY Cleaning Supplies
- Granite Cleaner from 320 * Sycamore. I finally have granite! We love the granite in our new house but I have been SO disappointed with the expensive granite cleaners. Streaky weaksauce! This cleaner is cheap and easy to make (rubbing alcohol, dawn and water). I'm on my second bottle.
- Stain Remover from Modern Day Moms. I've used this on several different stains (BBQ sauce, Ink, stains of unknown origin) and it has worked like a charm. I haven't used it on the carpet yet but that's next. And again super easy (dawn and peroxide).
- Spray Starch from Crazy Mom Quilts. Kevin started wearing shirts and ties to work and ironing, ironing, ironing. I had store-bought spray starch with a broken non-clog spray valve. It took a bit of coaxing but I got him to use it. I added more starch (cause I like it heavy) but it works really well.
- Shower Cleaner from Simple Organized Living. I love the way this cleaner works. And another easy recipe: vinegar and Dawn (notice a theme here?)
Other dual purposes:
1) Pledge for my stainless steel
2) Dryer sheets to clean baseboards
3)Vinegar for the windows
The list goes on and on. Happy homemaking.
