Homemade cleaners

I apologize for those of you who reached out for the recipe I use for laundry soap. Thank you for your patience.

Here is a link for laundry soap, fabric softener, and dryer balls.

For the bar soap in the laundry detergent I use a handheld cheese grater rather than the food processor to break it into pieces.

I used the following instructions for dryer balls but either would work well I would assume.

Here is a recipe for the ALL TIME BEST all purpose cleaner.  (Thanks to my Aunt Mary for sharing this little gem)

I literally use this to clean almost every surface of my home including mirrors/glass, stovetop, counters, floors, fridge, stainless steel...to name a few.

2 Cups Rubbing Alcohol
1 Tbsp Liquid Dawn
1 Tbsp Ammonia
1 Tbsp White Vinegar
Mix all in a gallon of warm water

Add essential oils if you prefer.

My sister also shared with me that using castile soap and essential oils in a foam soap dispenser works well for hand soap.

I haven't yet tried to make my own dishwasher detergent.  If you have a good recipe for this, please share!
