Homemade Cleaning Supplies

So I have been searching out a bunch of homemade cleaning supplies and decided I wanted to try them for myself. If you are on pinterest you can find 100's of recipes. So after searching and comparing here is what I tried: Glass Cleaner, Laundry soap, dish washing detergent and rinse aid and laminate floor cleaner.

Laundry detergent after (use 1 to 2 tbs per load = 500 loads)

Ingredients for laundry detergent




Ingredients for Window cleaner


















                                    Window cleaner (after)                       
                                              Laminate floor (After)                                          

Ingredients for Laminate floor cleaner
Ingredients for Dishwasher detergent
Dishwasher detergent After  (use 1 tbs per load = at least 500 washes)


 Note: use vinegar as a rinse aid in the compartment and your will have a spot free clean. If you want add a drop of food coloring to it so you can see when it needs to be refilled.

I purchased spray bottles and pitcher at the Dollar Tree ($1) and the gallon laundry detergent container at Walmart for $5. All the ingredients were under $15.00 and I was able to make all this with with some left over for next time.

Glass cleaner was awesome, streak free. I will update on others once they are done running :)

Update: Laundry detergent worked great. I washed a load of Eric's dirty work clothes and they felt clean and smelled clean when done. There is a good smell when you use the powder but no smell after they are dried in case you like that laundry smell (there is no smell after). The dishwashing soap worked good too.

Summary: It super inexpensive, makes a ton and I am not going to buy anything else b/c if it works well and is cheap why "waste" money on stuff you wash down the drain :)

Also: the laminate floor cleaner was awesome. No streaking and it got a lot of dirt off the floor. I will also be using this as well.

Everything I made I will be using it is all inexpensive and works very well. No streaking, lots of dirt came off windows and floors when using. I am pleased with the results.
