Folks, out of your all purpose cleaner does not mean the cleaning is done. Sad but true! If that were the case, I would pour all my cleaners down the drain. Yes, oh yes indeed I would!
So, here's a recipe for making your own, eco friendly cleaner. Just because it says eco friendly doesn't mean it's not capable of tackling stubborn stains. Here goes:
What you need:
*2 Tablespoons Borax (crush out any lumps so it is nice and powdery)
*2 Tablespoons White Vinegar
*2 Cups Hot Water
*A Squirt of Liquid Dishwashing Detergent
*a few drops of essential oil (lemon, orange, etc...) (optional, used only for scent)
*Spray bottle (16 oz size or larger)
Put the 2 tablespoons of borax in your spray bottle. Add the 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Let it set for about 5 minutes to let the borax dissolve. (This is why you want your borax free of lumps before you put it in the bottle). Next pour the 2 cups of water into the spray bottle. Finally, add a quick squirt of dishwashing detergent. Gently roll or swirl the bottle around to mix. Do not shake or you will have suds that may not go away.
