Time to clean . . . . better for you and the environment!

We've been busy busy busy with various projects . . . all of them are still in the works so I hope to finish a few soon and post some pics :). Gotta love projects!!!! I sure do!

I've been experimenting a little with homemade cleaners. I use to make my own detergent for the wash machine so why not expand that into some easy, better for you and the environment and cheaper on your wallet homemade cleaners!

Today's post is a super easy and cheap Glass Cleaner ~
The items you will need are as follows:
1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol
1/4 cup of white vinegar
1 tbspn cornstarch
2 cups of warm water
1 spray bottle - you can purchase these on the cleaning isle at Target or Walmart or just use an old Glass Cleaner bottle like I did- rinse it out well with warm water.

Simply dilute the cornstarch in your warm water and then pour it into the spray bottle along with the other 2 ingredients and shake to mix well.
Make sure you shake well each time before using so that the solution mixes well and this also helps the sprayer to stay unclogged.

Want another neat tip for cleaning windows and glass? Crumple up an old black and white newspaper sheet and wipe the cleaner off with that instead of a rag. It makes is sparkle and shine!!!!

This glass cleaner costs about .50 per bottle to make and is non-toxic and better for you . . . not to mention the SpArKly mirrors and windows you now have :)!

More cleaning posts to come!!! Stay tuned!
