Homemade Furniture Polish

What you need:

• 24 oz spray bottle

• 3/4 cup white distilled vinegar

• 1-1/2 cup vegetable or olive oil

• 3/8 cup lemon juice

Mix all ingredients in spray bottle and shake well before each use.

This mixture make me think of salad dressing, but it really does work well.

Homemade Hardwood Floor Cleaner

What you need:

• 32 oz spray bottle

• 3-1/2 cups boiling water

• 4 tea bags

• 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar

• 1/4 cup lemon juice

Let tea bags steep for at least 5 minutes in the boiling water or until they are brewed very strong. Allow tea to cool to room temperature (or place in fridge to speed process). Place in spray bottle along with remaining ingredients, shake, and use.

This is a great cleaner for hardwood floors and helps to release the grain of wood and add shine to the finish.

Homemade Glass Cleaner

What you need:

• 32 oz spray bottle
  

• 1-3/4 cup rubbing alcohol

• 1-3/4 cup water

• 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar

• 1/4 cup lemon juice

• 20 drops essential oil (scent of choice)

Combine all ingredients in spray bottle. Shake and use.

I found this glass cleaner to work alarmingly well (I wasn't expecting much) and may say it works better then Windex.

Homemade All-Purpose Disinfecting Cleaner

What you need:

• Spray Bottle (I used 32 oz)

• 1 tsp Castile Soap (I used Dr Bronner's with no scent. You can buy it at Target.)

• 2 cups Water

• 2 cups Distilled White Vinegar (get a gallon as you will use it quickly)

• 60 drops of Essential Oils (You can get this at your local natural food market. I used Tea Tree and Lavendar **30 drops of each** but use whatever scents you like. Note that Tea Tree is considered to be a natural disinfectant)

Just combine all ingredients in your spray bottle. I found this to be a little streaky so I would not use on surfaces with a shine (use the glass cleaner for those).
