Glass Cleaner

Ingredients

1/4 c. alcohol
1 tbsp. cornstart
1/4 c. vinegar

Directions
Mix ingredients well and pour into a spray bottle. The cornstarch will settle to the bottom, so always shake before using. 

All-Purpose Spray

The only thing I don't use this all-natural, effective cleaning spray for, is glass. Otherwise, it smells great and works like a charm. 

Ingredients
2 tsp. liquid castile soap
5 tbsp. white vinegar
2 tsp. borax
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. essential oils (I like Thieves: www.youngliving.com/natural-cleaner/Thieves-Cleaner)
4 c. hot water

Directions
Fully mix all ingredients and pour into a spray bottle. 

Homemade Laundry Detergent (dry)

Ingredients
1 c. super washing soda
1 c. borax
1 natural bar soap, grated
(Kirk's, Dr. Bronner's, Fels-Naptha, and Ivory all work well!)

Directions
Mix well. Use about a tablespoon for each wash. Works well in high efficiency washers and traditional washers. This recipe fills a quart-sized mason jar.
