All Purpose Cleaner:
1 cup water
1 cup vinegar
Juice from one lemon
Baking soda
Mix together the water, vinegar and lemon juice in a spray bottle. On surfaces that need a little more work, dust down some baking soda then spray with the solution. Wipe away!
Window Cleaner:
½ teaspoon liquid Castile soap
2 cups of water
Vinegar
Mix the Castile soap and water together and use this to wash the dirt off of your window. Follow this with a spray of even proportions of water and vinegar and squeegee away for a streak-free shine!
Tub Paste:
½ cup baking soda
1-2 drops Eucalyptus oil
½ teaspoon liquid Castile soap
Water
Mix together the baking soda, eucalyptus oil and soap. Add enough water to form a paste. Scrub the paste into your tub and wash away with warm water. Watch as your bathtub sparkles. Eucalyptus oil is antimicrobial. It leaves a strong scent for some time after, but I’d rather breathe that in than nasty bleach.
Now you can get started on a cleaner, greener home! Follow this up with a long soak in your squeaky-clean tub…Doctor’s orders!
