This year part of my New Year’s resolution is to be a
better steward to Mother Earth. I decided that I was tired of cleaning with
such harsh toxic chemicals. I always felt a little light headed after cleaning
the bathroom so; I decided to try my hand at making a homemade bathroom
cleaner. I went to Pinterest and found a super easy recipe made with
ingredients I already had on hand.
Ingredients:
2 tsp baking soda
½ tsp Dawn dish soap
4 TBSP white vinegar
400 ml warm water
Directions:
Stir/shake to mix well. Use a spray bottle for optimal usage.
Seems pretty straight forward: however, my first problem was
in converting the milliliters into cups (should have used ounces) I found
conflicting results so I just went with the first amount 1 ¾ cups. I do a lot a
baking so when I started to measure the ingredients I put in my dry ingredients followed by the warm water
and dish soap so far so good! Next I poured in the vinegar (forgot I was mixing
volcano ingredients) this is what started to happen………
I slowly added all the vinegar and put the top on the
bottle and the directions said shake so I did!
After it was done erupting I had about a half a bottle
of cleaner left! The cleaner works very well but I did notice that it left a
film behind so I did have to wipe the counter again with a damp cloth.
The next time I made this cleaner I first dissolved the
baking soda in the warm water in a container. I added the rest of the
ingredients and let set for awhile before pouring into the spray bottle. It was way less volatile this time!
