Natural Cleaning Recipes

I always try and use natural ingredients when cleaning.  Strong ingredients and smells give me a headache and bother my asthma.  I like to use things like:

• vinegar
• baking soda
• hydrogen peroxide
• tea tree oil
• lemon juice
• dish soap
• Dr. Bronners castile soap  ( can be purchased at www.amazon.com)

Toilet bowl cleaner:
Fill an empty dish soap bottle with half water and half dish soap.  Use it to squirt around the bowl.




Glass cleaner:
Mix 1 cup white vinegar and 2 cups warm water in an empty spray bottle.  Spray and wipe with newspaper.




Hand soap:
Wash out old hand soap bottle and add about 1 tablespoon Dr. Bronner's castile soap .  Fill the rest of the container with water.




If you have an old foaming soap pump you can save money by putting in about 1/3 hand soap and the rest fill with  water and it will foam.




All purpose cleaner:
Mix equal parts white vinegar hydrogen peroxide.  Add a touch of tea tree oil.




Scouring powder:
Baking soda




Glass cleaner:
Add a few drops of lemon juice to water.




Hope these ideas help!
