In my posts, I have mentioned that my husband and I have been attempting to cut cost for our household. I do not remember where I found the idea, if any of you know, please post the website. When I told my sister about this, she thought I was insane. However, the fact is it works.
Air Freshener: What I did is bought a spray bottle at the Dollar Store for a buck...1 dollar. I bought a gallon of white vinegar...can't remember the amount, but it's cheap. Then go to where the candle are and those little bottles of "smell good" stuff, the oils? Find you favorite and buy it, 2 dollars. When you get home, rinse out the bottle in hot soapy water. Fill the bottle up about half to 3/4 full. Add 1/2 cup of vinegar, and a few drops of the old. Shake it up real good. This makes a great air freshener. The vinegar, once "dry" will go away, and you are left with the smell of the oil.
Floor Cleaner: You can do this same process for mopping the floors. Just add a little dish soap to your mop bucket, increase the vinegar to 1 cup and add about 1/2 teaspoon to the bucket, and mop away. You would think the house would smell pickled from all the vinegar, but it doesn't. It smell nice and clean.
Counter Cleaner: In a spray bottle, fill 3/4 full, add 1/2 cup of vinegar, dish soap and a drop or two of essential oil, shake and spray on the counters. Wonderful.
The best part, you are not filling your home with harmful chemicals.
Vinegar is a natural antibacterial solution. So, it is a great thing to use, a little does the job.
Another idea that I love is to use olive oil and lemon juice for furniture polish for REAL wood. The WOW factor is amazing. The oil replaces the oils that are lost, the lemon is an natural antibacterial solution. Mix it up, rub on the wood and polish with a soft cloth. You will be amazed.
And you thought I was gonna promote a new something or other to clean with? Nope, all natural solutions for help clean your home. And, it only cost pennies to do it.
Try it, you won't be disappointed.
