Cleaning, Cleaning, Cleaning!

My new obsession is making my owl cleaning stuff!
I can't stop! Here are some of the recipes I use =)
Happy cleaning!
**I didn't make these up but I use them and love them**

Baby WipesLink
Ingredients:
1 roll Bounty Select-A-Size paper towels (cut in half with a non-serated knife!)
1 container with a lid to fit your half roll of paper towel
1 1/2 tablespoons baby bath
1 tablespoon baby oil
2 cups water

Mix together the water, baby bath and baby oil in the container you g
ot. Put in the half roll of paper towel cut side up. Once the mixture is all soaked up pull out your paper towel and flip over so its cut side down. Let it sit for about an hour covered. When you go back all your wipes should be saturated and you should be able to pull out the cardboard center and then you have pop up wipes =) The container I got has a steam vent that works perfect for pulling the wipes out!


Kid tested and mother approved!

Dog Shampoo
1 part white vinager
1 part antibacterial soap

Mix together in an old shampoo bottle and it's done. This works soooo good!
bye bye dog smell!



Windex
1 Empty Windex Spray Bottle
1/8 Cup (1oz) White Ammonia
1/4 Cup (4oz) Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol
1 Drop Laundry Detergent
Water - To Fill The Bottle



All Purpose Cleaner
- Empty spray bottle
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 1 tsp borax
- warm water
- 2 Tbsp castile soap or dish soap
- essential oils, optional

In the spray bottle, mix together vinegar and borax. Swirl until borax is dissolved.

Fill bottle mostly full with warm water, and give it a shake to mix. Add your dish soap or castile.

I didn't use essential oil because my dish soap smells wonderful =) and I have no idea where to get essential oils =)



Hair Detangler

- Conditioner
- water
- spray bottle

Put a few tablespoons of conditioner in the bottle and then fill with water. Shake and it's ready to use =)


Dryer Sheets

Old washcloths or cut up t-shirt
Fabric softner
Container with lid

Put one part fabric softner and two parts water in your container. Leave this on your dryer and when you are ready to dry some clothes dip your washcloth in the liquid then ring out. Toss in the dryer and done =)


Just like Clorox Cleanup

1/4 Cup Bleach
1 Teaspoon Laundry Detergent
Fill the rest of the bottle with Water and Shake!


Fake Febreeze

1/8 Cup of Your Favorite Fabric Softener
2 Tablespoons Baking Soda
Hot Tap Water - To Fill the Bottle to the Top


For laundry soap I use the Duggar recipe and it can be found here =)


Dishwasher Soap

* This is my own recipe =)

‎2 Cups Borax
2 Cups Baking soda
2 Cups washing flakes
1 cup Epson salt
9 packets of unsweetened lemonade drink mix

Add 1 TBS to the dishwasher and put vinegar in the spot where you would put jet dry.....not sure of the technical name.
