You can never go wrong with the basic ingredients your grandmother probably used: baking soda, lemon, and vinegar.
- All purpose cleaner: 9 parts water, 1 part vinegar
- Window cleaner: 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon natural liquid soap, 2 cups water
- Oven cleaner: 2 cups hot water, 1 tablespoon natural dish liquid, 1 teaspoon borax
Mix all ingredients together in a spry bottle and shake gently.
We were already mostly chemical free but when we had my son we went 100%. Vinegar is all I clean with now! I can’t believe how many years it took me to try it, too, because it works so well. I regularly use citrus infused vinegar, vinegar and baking soda, etc to clean. I even use it in my laundry and have never had cleaner clothes.
