Clean that house boys


Doing spring cleaning...> these helpfull recipes will help and cut down on your budget.

Cleaning and deodorizing a drain: Pour 1 cup baking soda into your drain. Slowly drip warm water into the drain.

Cleaning out a slow drain: Pour 1 cup baking soda into your drain. Slowly pour 1 cup vinegar after it (it will fizz); cover the drain and let it stand for 5 minutes, then follow with 1 gallon of boiling water.

Cleaner for windows and mirrors: Mix 4 parts water, 4 parts rubbing alcohol, and 1 part ammonia. Clean as you would with a commercial window cleaner.

Strong all-purpose countertop cleaner: Two cups of warm water with 1 tablespoon liquid laundry detergent (see above links) and 1 tablespoon ammonia.
