Homemade Household Cleaners: Fun with Kitchen Concoctions!

Greetings and blessings to you! Through my adventures across the World Wide Web I have always found a tiny bit of excitement in coming across recycled art projects, or nifty ways to reuse foods and other every day items found right in your home. Not only is it cost efficient, but the recipes I am sharing with you today actually work better than the expensive name brand products you will find on your grocery shelves!

Dishwashing Detergent
It literally cost me less than $5 and will last me a good while!

All you will need is:

• Dawn dish soap
• Baking soda

Put NO MORE than TWO drops of Dawn soap in the detergent compartment of your dishwasher. Any more than two drops and you will have a big bubbly mess on your hands lol! Fill it the rest of the way with baking soda and that's it! I promise it will clean your dishes better than Cascade!


Dryer Sheet
(This will last you 40-50 loads!)

You will need:

• One wash cloth (I used a brightly colored one so I could find it easily :)
• Your favorite scent of fabric softener

Saturate your cloth with the liquid softener, making sure to wring out the excess. Hang or drape your cloth to dry for at least 3 days before using. When ready, simply toss your cloth in with your drying load, and there you go! Works just as great as the disposables!

All-Purpose Cleaning Spray
I definitely recommend making sure you have your favorite scent of essential oil before making this, otherwise your spray will smell like vinegar. There is another recipe for this I will be trying soon, and will post it asap! :)

You will need:

•  2 Cups Water
• 2 Cups white vinegar
• 20 drops essential oil (I used lemon for a nice clean scent)

Combine all your ingredients into a spray bottle and shake to combine

Finding ways to reuse, reduce and recycle around your home are sure to put you in good spirits! I hope you try these and enjoy them as much as I do! Feel free to share your comments, and if you have a favorite recipe you swear by, please share! Thank you for visiting, and until next time!!

Blessed Be!
