Using Vinegar in Your House Cleaning

I don't think anybody would say that they like the smell of vinegar, but they sure couldn't argue about how well it cleans!

 

I recently incorporated it into my cleaning regimen.

Take a look:

 

Place 1 cup vinegar in a glass bowl or cup and heat for 4-5 minutes.

Beware: when you open the door, the smell is strong!

 

 

Use paper towels and wipe down the interior.

As the vinegar heats up, everything softens up and will just wipe right off.

No elbow grease needed!

 

The first time I did this, I added some water to the warm vinegar and

used the mixture to wipe down the interior of the fridge.

My oh my, it made the inside of my fridge look as clean and white as the inside of this microwave!

 

The next time I did it (my microwave was not nearly as dirty thanks to this technique),

I mixed the one cup of warm vinegar with one cup of blue Dawn dish soap

to make an awesome tub, sink, and shower cleaner.

It cleans like you would not believe!

Don't take my word for it, though. Try it; you won't be disappointed!

 

Happy Cleaning to you. Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;

I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

Psalm 9:1

Homemade Clorox Clean Up

     Hey Guys, we're going to veer a little off our crafty track today and talk a little about cleaning. Now, cleaning isn't my favorite thing to do, but it's far from my least favorite thing to do. (Unless you count dusting. That is on my list of least favorites.)

     I found this recipe online some time ago and it was so easy to mix up, I whipped up a batch right away. I've kept some on hand since. It's for a homemade version of Clorox Clean Up. I love this stuff. I use it in the kitchen and in the bathroom. It gets our shower stall shining!

     All you need to make it is:
1 empty and rinsed out bottle of Clorox Cleaner (or an empty spray bottle like mine)
1/4 cup bleach
1 tsp laundry detergent

     Fill the rest of the bottle with water and shake it up.  That's it. Pretty easy, huh? Too bad we can't get through with the cleaning that quickly!

     Another perk is that it's made from products that you always have at home and it's affordable. I'd give it a 10 on the frugal scale.:)

     Note: I used a 32 ounce spray bottle . The Clorox Spray only holds 27 ounces, so I only filled my bottle up to 27 ounces.

     Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come

after Me, let him deny himself, and take

up his cross daily, and follow Me!"
