We’ve got some great Homemade Cleaner Recipes from Melissa Maker from CleanMySpace.ca. You can find Melissa on Twitter and Facebook.
The 4 Key Ingredients you’ll require are:
- Vinegar – mild disinfectant, grease cutter, de-scaler, glass cleaner
- Dish Soap – neutral PH – gentle and safe on essentially every surface and a mild soap that can lift off dirt and grime
- Rubbing alcohol – at least 65% USP in order for it to qualify as a disinfectant, can be mixed with water
- Hydrogen Peroxide – naturally occurring bleach, used in Oxy powders. Uses oxygen to break bonds between dirt and bacteria and the surface they are on. A great disinfectant, stain remover and natural whitener.
