Homemade Cleaning Supply Recipes ▻ Part 2

I received a ton of hits on the homemade cleaning supplies and I'm stoked people are so interested! So today I'm posting additional recipes that people have asked for. As I previously mentioned here these are recipes I've either discovered for myself or collected off the Internet over the years.

I love making my own products for several reasons:

1) They're cost efficient.

2) I never run out because I keep all the basic supplies stocked up and they're always on hand to make another batch.

3) You know exactly what cleaning products you have in your home and they all ALL NATURAL & NON-TOXIC!

4)They work as well, if not better, as the "real" cleaning products.
