Homemade Cleaning Products
Making cleaning products is just one more way for
homemakers to think about what we breath in . You can
also know the items that are going into your product.
The aroma is always a extra benefit, which comes from
essential oils
Essential Oils
What can they do for us!
Lavender oil is by far my favorite essential oil.
The pure aroma of this essential oil can calm your senses.
Peppermint oil can perk your senses.
Here are a few recipes to get you started.
All Purpose Cleaner
2 cups of water
1 Teaspoon of borax
2 Tablespoon white vinegar
1 Teaspoon of Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate
1/4 Teaspoon of eucalyptus essential oil
1/4 Teaspoon of lavender essential oil
3 drops of tea tree oil
Mix all ingredients and stir, make sure your water is
at room temperture.
Window Cleaner
Juice of 1 lemon
2 cups of water
1/2 Teaspoon of peppermint essential oil
1 Teaspoon of cornstarch
Mix in jar and stir.
I always try to use glass jars to store these cleaning products in.
The reason is that plastic will retain the smells.
Frugal tip on the day: When you buy products from the store
they usually are made in glass jars. Wash them out and save
them for another use. Instead of buying a plastic container.
It works for me!
Enjoy the aroma while you clean!

I enjoy lavender, too! I make all-purpose cleaner with 1 cup distilled water, 1 cup isopropyl alcohol, 5 drops lavender oil and 5 drops peppermint oil. So simple, it works great, and smells so clean! When we lived in TX, I noticed it seemed to repel ants and other bugs, too. Must have been the lavender. :o)
