At our January event, Dr. Heather Prenger and other people who attended the presentation shared homemade recipes for non-toxic cleaners. They work as good, or better in some cases, than what you buy from the stores! We will be sharing those recipes in this and future posts. First, here is a recipe for an all-purpose cleaner.
What you need:
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1 gallon of water
What to do:
- Mix the ingredients together in a bowl or bucket.
- Stir vigorously to dissolve the baking soda.
Use with a mop or sponge. To make a spray cleaner, reduce this recipe and dissolve the ingredients to avoid clogging the spray bottle.
