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 :)

Mowgli

What better to use as a pillow, he's super soft and fluffy and he could care less, he has his bone. He is a great dog and great with the kids.
