In an attempt to save us some money, I’ve recently made a
few cleaners instead of buying them. I’ve made laundry detergent, dishwasher
detergent, toilet bowl cleaner and fabric softener. Unfortunately not all of
them have been successful.
The laundry detergent is wonderful. I knew it would work
well because I got the recipe from a friend. It made a huge batch for about $8
plus the cost of a new container.
The dishwasher detergent was a total fail. After a full
washing cycle, food was still visible and it left a cloudy residue on
everything.
The toilet bowl cleaner is just a mixture of vinegar and
baking soda. It cleans better than store-bought cleaners, but I have to clean
more frequently to keep the water ring away.
Fabric softener is supposed to smell good, right? Well, the
recipe I used included vinegar and you could really smell it. David politely
asked me to stop using it because he didn’t want to stink. Haha I don’t blame
him and I don’t want to stink either.
Not everything worked like I hoped, but I’m glad that I
tried them out. The next cleaners I’m going to make when I run out are Shout
and Windex.
