More Frugal Friday tips!

As I work towards a more healthier and cleaner household, I will be doing a third post on cleaners. You can read my posts on Homemade Deodorant AND Detergents at their links. Today though, I want to talk about all purpose cleaning and what I have been using not only for a disinfectant but my kitchen too! I TRIED to do mostly or even 1/2 vinegar, 1/2 water, essential oil and tea tree but the vinegar was incredibly over powering and lingered! Doing some research, I realized that I only NEEDED 1/4 of a cup of vinegar (and the rest water), to 3-4 drops of tea tree oil and essential oil, and to activate the vinegar and its effectiveness, I added 2 tsp of baking soda!

I would love to make my own detergent, but it's impossible to find washing soda around here!

really? I found mine at Kroger in the laundry isle. Arm and Hammer makes it. I would call your different major chain grocery stores in your area to see if they have it or if they can get it.
