How to Make All-Purpose Spray Cleaner
To make your own all-purpose spray cleaner, you just need a few things, all of which are easily found in local stores and you more than likely have some of the ingredients around the house already. Here are a few tips and safety reminders:
-Label mixed solutions carefully and keep out of reach of children or near food.
-Cleaners lose effectiveness over time, try to make small batches. Also, when labeling your cleaner I'll, put the date on it as well.
-Though green cleaners are gentler on us and the earth, they should not be consumed.
-Whenever mixing chemicals together, do so in a well-ventilated area.
-Microfiber clothes make dusting and window drying faster and easier.

Recipe 1 (Mild)
- 1⁄2 cup vinegar

Recipe 2 (Moderate)
- 2 Tbsp borax
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 2 cups hot water
Mix borax and vinegar with water in spray bottle.
Recipe 3 (Strong)*

- 1/2 tsp castile soap
