They give tips and ideas on making your own cleaners and what is good for cleaning specific things.

Here is my &quot;recipe&quot;: 1 cup peroxide, 1/2 cup of Tide (use good quality detergent only) and hot water to fill an empty spray bottle.

Thanks for all of the comments! To answer some questions, all of the bottles were purchased from The Dollar Tree and they were all (you guessed it) a dollar-lol. Even the stainless steel one. Washing soda can be found at the grocery store and I sometimes use Borax instead, which is very similar.<BR/><BR/>The air deodorizer keeps very well! I have kept it in a bottle for a couple of months and it is great! <BR/><BR/>The hot water is just for when you make it. It helps dissolve everything so that you don't have a bunch of powder settle. <BR/><BR/>Also, a tip-the furniture polish is also what I use to clean my stainless steel! It works amazingly!Jolly Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17064704062263823375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85656514062800857.post-60797824077903724912009-01-07T21:41:00.000-05:002009-01-07T21:41:00.000-05:00HR-- that steel bottle looks like it came from The Container Store. <BR/><BR/>Miranda-- Washing soda is sodium carbonate. People used to use it as a laundry booster (similar to the way borax is used). You can normally find it in the laundry detergent section of the grocery store.YellowZeppelinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10783479636200999978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85656514062800857.post-13854984258425833712009-01-06T21:43:00.000-05:002009-01-06T21:43:00.000-05:00Oh I'm so totally making this stuff.
