Simple Vinegar Cleaner (All Purpose)

Photobucket

I knew this day would come.

The day I finally went through my stock pile of all purpose cleaner.  I really wanted to try making my own cleaners for a while now.  I'll admit, I was nervous.  I wasn't about to sacrifice sparkling counters for, well, much of anything.  So I stopped buying cleaner.  Even on sale.  And even when I had coupons for it. 

It was rough.

I do things to be frugal.  I knew that making your own cleaner was cheap, but I was able to get such good deals with stacking coupons and sales was it worth it?  I mean, from a financial stand point you don't get much cheaper than free.

The verdict: Uh yeah it's worth it.

If you have been even thinking about it a little bit here is why I'm now converted to homemade all purpose cleaner.

1. It works.  Really well.  Like super well.
2. No chemicals. 
3. Cheap. 
4. And if you stockpile and get all of your cleaner for free think about this: There is no need for a stockpile.  Which means you have extra space!

Amanda,

I use a variation that I got from another online source, which I'm hard-pressed to remember at the moment. But it's got vinegar, water, lemon or lime juice, and some drops of tea tree oil, which is a natural antibacterial. It's great! My husband even started using it to clean his vinyl records, and he said it takes the dirt and scratches right out.
