Need to Clean??

Heading off to SMBC next year is going to cut a little bit into our budget because I want to work less so that I can have more time to study so we’ve been looking at ways we can cut costs in the family. And yes I’m a nerd but I just discovered the most amazing home made recipe for a multi purpose cleaner, and it actually works! Can’t believe I’ve wasted soooo much money on commercial cleaners. If you’re keen to give it a go, here it is:

Multipurpose Cleaner

1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1 cup household ammonia
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 gallon warm water

Mix ingredients and store in tightly capped container. see website http://www.naturodoc.com/library/lifestyle/cleaner.htm for more ideas!
