House cleaning supplies

Since I am not a blogger, I don't know how to set up the page nicely so if there is something you are searching for, hold down the CTRL+F buttons and a "find" bar should pop up.  You should be able to use that to search for something on here. (Use at your own discretion)

These were taken from: Potholes and Pantyhose website

Green Drain Cleaner:
1/2 Cup Baking Soda
1/2 Cup White Vinegar
Boiling Water
Pour Baking Soda down the drain. Add white vinegar and cover the drain, if possible. Let set for 5 minutes. Pour the boiling water down the drain.

 Green Furniture Polish and Cleaner:
3 Cups Olive Oil
1 Cup White Vinegar
Mix together in a jar and pour onto a soft cloth. Remix every so often by shaking the jar again.

Green Brass Cleaner:
Lemon Juice
Baking Soda
Make a paste the consistency of toothpaste. Rub onto brass with a soft cloth. Rinse with water and dry.

Green Chrome and Stainless Steel Cleanser:
1 Cup Vinegar
1/2 Cup Water
Mix in a recycled spray bottle. Spray solution on the chrome/stainless steel and let sit for a minute. Wipe off with damp sponge and dry with a soft cloth.

 Green Toilet Bowl Cleaner:
Baking Soda
Vinegar
Sprinkle baking soda into toilet bowl. Add vinegar. Scrub ‘er down with a toilet brush.

I got this from Yellow Brick Home

Dry Laundry Soap
1 bar Fels Naptha
1 cup of the Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda
 1 cup of Borax
I grated the bar of soap. I use a big grater and then put all the ingredients in my Ninja (food processor).  It makes it pretty fine.  You use about 1 tablespoon per wash!  You can use an old mini coffee scoop.


Car Wax as Sink Polish
Polish faucets, sinks, tile, even shower doors with Turtle Wax, which leaves behind a protective barrier against water and soap buildup, so your hard-earned sparkle will last past the next tooth-brushing. 

Homemade Febreze
1/8 Cup of fabric softener
2 tablespoons Baking Soda
Hot tap water
Spray bottle (I used my empty 27 oz. Febreze bottle)
Using a funnel, mix it all together in the spray bottle, mix well
