Recipes, tips and ideas for homemade all purpose cleaner

Non-Toxic All Purpose Cleaner

1/2 water or colloidal silver
1/2 vinegar
4 tablespoons lemon juice
10-20 drops tea tree oil
spray bottle

Combine all ingredients in a plastic spray bottle. Has a tea tree/vinegar smell. (If you don't like the smell of tea tree oil, try lavender or citrus.) Shake your to mix. Use this all purpose cleaner anywhere as needed. Non-toxic and organic so it is safe for daily use on door knobs and toilet handles, switch plate covers etc.

A Note about colloidal silver: If you do not have any colloidal silver, water will work just fine. This is not a cost effective recipe if you are paying retail for your supply of colloidal silver. If you would like to know more about colloidal silver and how to make your own, let me recommend Bob Beck's products at Tools for Healing. This is where my husband got his supplies and he has been very happy with them.

Home Remedies for All Purpose Cleaners

Vinegar and Salt. Mix together for a good surface cleaner.

Baking Soda. Dissolve 4 tablespoons baking soda in 1 quart warm water for a general cleaner. Or use baking soda on a damp sponge. Baking soda will clean and deodorize all kitchen and bathroom surfaces.

Use liquid castile soap and baking soda or Borax in different ratios. Use a little soap and soda/borax with lots of water on floors, walls and counters. Use more soap, soda/Borax for tubs sinks, cat boxes, anything that can be well rinsed.

For a general, all-purpose cleaner, try a paste made from baking soda and water or mix salt and water with a little vinegar.

3 tbsp. vinegar, 1/2 tsp. washing soda, 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil based liquid soap, 2 cups hot water. Mix ingredients in spray bottle or bucket. Apply and wipe clean.

Note: If you are looking for high-quality therapeutic grade essential oils, I highly recommend Young Living. I am simply in love with their products, they are a part of nearly every facet of my life.
