Whistle While You Work


I was recently given a must have recipe.  I tried it and was impressed with how well it cleaned.  Yup, it's a recipe for an all purpose cleaner from Fit Pregnancy magazine.  It cleaned my bathroom mirrors well, the kitchen counter tops while not staining the grout (like some of the popular store cleansers do), it disinfects, it's good for the environment, and it cuts down on the multitude of cleansers you need, therefore, aiding in decluttering.  

Too good to be true?  Kinda.  The only draw back is its initial odor, but even that doesn't last long.  So, yeah,  it might be too good for itself.  Here's how to make it.

32 oz. spray bottle
1  cup  white vinegar (yup, that's the smelly part)
2  tsp.  Borax (side note:  use it with your laundry soap and 
boost your detergent's power)
1/4  cup  dish soap
Pour  ingredients in spray bottle and fill the rest with HOT water.  Shake and whistle while you work.
