154- Multi-Surface Cleaner

Day 154- Multi-Surface Cleaner

Well our old house has been packed up and moved. We spent an entire day cleaning the house from top to bottom.

For cleaning surfaces and windows, I mixed up a batch of all natural surface cleaner which worked just as well as the commercial product--Clorox Formula 409.

I took a large spray bottle and filled it about 2/3 with water. The final third, I filled with cheap distilled white vinegar and 1/2 tablespoon of dish washing soap.

That recipe again is:
2 parts warm tap water
1 part distilled white vinegar
1/2 tablespoon of dish washing soap.

We use Seventh Generation products at our house, so we know that my surface cleaner was 100% natural and biodegradable. There were no harmful toxins or chemicals unlike 409 Spray.

It cleaned the walls from grease, dirt, oil, and pencil marks in a breeze. And it cleaned windows with a streak free shine. (Use crumpled, old newspapers instead of paper towels to help fight streaks.)

Plus, it was made of things lying around the house, so we had a whole day's supply of surface cleaner without having to go out and buy a bunch--saving literally a dozen dollars.

Whether its for pickles or cleaning surfaces and drains, I always keep a big jug of distilled white vinegar around, just in case.

Competency Moment of the Day: I got my rebate check today! It will be going toward savings and paying off debt.
