5 Homemade Cleaners with Ingredients You Already Have

All Purpose Cleaner

1 gal. water

1/4 cup grease cutting dishsoap (Dawn)

½ cup vinegar

½ cup soda

– Put in a spray bottle to clean showers, toilets, sinks and counters. Great for most cleaning needs.

Counter-top Disinfectant

2 tsp. grease cutting dishsoap (Dawn)

½ cup rubbing alcohol

¼ cup vinegar

water

-Put all in a spray bottle and fill with water. This works especially good for counter-tops but can also be used to clean showers, toilets and sinks. Great for most cleaning needs.

Homemade Clorox Wipes without Clorox

1 cup of water

1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol

2 Tbsp. Dawn dish soap (only use Dawn)

2 Tbsp. ammonia (optional)

24 rags – cut into squares. I cut them to about 4×6 inches, but whatever size you have available or whichever size you need will work. I also use old washrags that have seen better days.

-Mix the ingredients and pour over the rags.* Then, when you need to clean your bathroom, use them as you would the disposable Clorox wipes.

The best thing about these homemade wipes is that you can just throw them in the washing machine and use them again! Really! It’s that simple!

*After you make this recipe, you will need to adjust how much of the mixture you pour over your rags. I didn’t have that many rags and they were pretty wet so I just used less of the cleaner.
