Housekeeping Book Pt 4- Homemade Cleaning Formula's

My next page is the formula's that I'm using for my green cleaning. I've started with these and will see how they work.



All Purpose Cleaner-



  • 3 drops (or a splash) of dish soap

  • 2 drops of lavender oil

  • 1/2 c. vinegar

  • water


Glass Cleaner-



  • 4 to 1 water to vinegar

Lemon Scrub-



  • Baking Soda

  • Lemon oil


Tolet Bowl Cleaner-



  • 1/4c. baking soda

  • 1 c. vinegar

Let sit 1 hour and scrub



Lavender spray-



  • 2 c. water

  • 1 tsp. lavender oil

Laundry Soap



  • 1 bar soap grated, ivory, Dr. Bronner's, Felt's

  • 1 cup borax

  • 1 cup washing soda

Use 1 - 2 tabs. per load



The first 3 I got from my dd, she has been doing this for a while. I've tried before, but end up going back to chemicals.
