Frugal All Purpose Cleaner

For a good all purpose cleaner, you need water and Ivory liquid dish soap. Fill a 32 ounce spray bottle nearly full with water. Add a squirt or two of Ivory Liquid Dish soap. Put the sprayer back on and gently shake the bottle until the soap has been evenly distributed. Use Ivory because most other dish soaps leave behind a filmy residue. Ivory is especially safe for Corian, marble, and wood counter tops and butcher blocks. It's also safe to use on brass or gold plated faucets.

Tip: Frugal All Purpose Cleaner

You know how you pick up a hint somewhere and it sits around for a year before you get around to trying it? Well here's one.

Ingredients:

1 gal. warm water
1 Tbsp.baking soda
1/4 cup vinegar (I used white)
1/4 cup sudsy ammonia

Directions:

Mix well and put some in a spray bottle. I tested in an out of the way spot first. It worked. Floor, sink, bathroom & painted wall.

Editor's Note: Make sure this solution never comes into contact with bleach. When bleach and ammonia are mixed it creates a gas that is extremely dangerous to inhale.

Thanks! You just saved me a trip to the store (and some money), because I had all the ingredients on hand. (12/21/2004)
