Homemade Cleaners I Use Every Day

Here are the websites I used to find these recipes.  I have used a great many different recipes.  The recipes below are the winners, in my book.

I have posted these recipes before but get a tremendous amount of requests for re-posts, so here you go.  Happy cleaning!

 

Powerful Mold and Mildew Spray

1 Cup Distilled Water

1 Cup Vodka

10 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil

10 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil

10 drops Lavender Essential Oil

Combine all the above ingredients and pour into a spray bottle. Spray this powerful mold and mildew spray directly on your mold or mildew problem. If it is really a bad problem leave on for 30 minutes or more before you wipe clean.

Homemade Orange Vinegar Cleaner

Here is what you will need:

Enough Citrus Peels to fill a large jar

White Distilled Vinegar

Salt, any kind.

Orange Essential Oil-optional

First, eat a lot of oranges.  (Good thing they are healthy for you!)

Place peels in a baggie and freeze them until you have enough to fill a large jar.

When you have enough peels,remove them from the freezer, and place them on a large cookie sheet, peel side up.  Sprinkle with salt.  This will help pull the oils out of the peels. Let this sit for 30 minutes.

After the 30 minutes, place peels in a large jar. Fill jar with vinegar.

Now, this is the hard part, I know, I had to have patience too. Let the mixture sit for 1 month. (or longer!!)

Trust me, you will thank me for making you wait! I gave mine a good shake once a week.

To use your wonderfully scented Orange Vinegar:  Fill a spray bottle with half orange vinegar and half water. (I used a funnel to put the vinegar in the spray bottle,and then picked out the orange peels that fell in, and put them back in the jar.)  If desired, add 20 drops of Orange Essential oil. Shake bottle and then get to cleaning!

When your jar of orange peels and vinegar gets low, add more vinegar.  You can use the peels at least twice before you need to throw them out.
