Live on Less – DIY Household Cleaner Recipes

Over the past few months we’ve been testing out some of these homemade cleaner recipes.

This is a great way to live on less: make your own household cleaners, and save major dough!

    Would you kindly make a permanent spot to the right to click on to get these recipes at any time of day. I don’t know how to Pin or Pinterest things, so if it could be part of your listings, it would be very helpful to me, and possibly other people too. Thank you.

  2. :) Thanks so much!

    do you have any recipes for hard water stain removal? We do not have a water softener at home and it is very hard to clean my shower doors (and gets expensive with store bought cleaners)

    Is anyone aware that the Blue Dawn has Bleach in it an it warns on the back to not add some products with it? I am fairly positive Baking Soda is one of the ingredients (never to add to Dawn) It releases some sort of Gases that are harmful to our lungs. I’m all for using environmentally safe natural things for cleaning & sanitizing purposes plus it saves so much money, I did the Fabric Softener and it’s wonderful in Lavender because I used Lavender (Suave .89cents Winco) and I already had White Vinegar & Lavender Essential Oil )added a few drops) costing Pennies per load, The Oil I’d purchased to make Bath Salts @ Christmas. Jyst saying you should always check the back of things, Be safe Ladies, God Bless.

      I had that problem once, store cleaners never worked for me so… I went to the local ( janitorial supply store) an they sold me something that actually worked in seconds (literally) wax on/wax off lol! Professional stuff, wow it was great, plus I used it to remove water /mineral build up on any windows outside from the sprinklers, it was amazing stuff, cost approx $10.00 one time but had it for quite awhile

    • Bleach and Baking soda can mix and are frequently used together. I believe you are thinking of bleach and amonia.

    I tried the laundry soap and it didn’t work for me. If you have any kind of grease spot, from cooking etc. it doesn’t come out even if pre-treated. I was using cold water, but I always use cold on my colored clothes. The detergent I was using always worked good when I pre-treated and used cold water.
