I am about to post recipes for two home brewed products that make me feel like a real homemaker. I am recommending them, because I use them ALL the time.
The scrub recipe was given to me by Tammy and it is amazing for cleaning anything. I used it on a disgusting, greasy oven... and it was like magic. It is especially great on hard water stains on showers and faucets. It's better than Lime away and CLR or CRL or whatever that other thing is. It is by far my favorite cleaner EVER!
Vinegar Scrub:
1/4 Cup Baking Soda
1 Tbs Dish Soap
Just enough white distilled vinegar to make a paste.
You mix the soda and soap and then add enough vinegar to make a paste. It will bubble at first, but will settle down.
The fabric softener recipe was given to me by my boyfriend's mother. It is so simple and at first I wasn't sure how much I liked it, but after using one of my freshly washed towels this morning, I was totally impressed. I can spend a lot on fabric softener, because I buy environmentally friendly brands and they are pricey. This is SO cheap. It works great and takes away static while keeping clothes soft. I buy the Whole Foods 365 brand conditioner, because it is inexpensive, environmentally friendly and it doesn't have a lot of perfume. The other great bonus is that it works in HE machines.
Fabric Softener:
3 cups white vinegar
2 cups hair conditioner
6 cups water
Pour all into container. Stir well.
Enjoy and let me know if you try any of these and like them.
