Spring Cleaning by Farmhouse Style Living

You may think that it is a little early to talk about spring cleaning.  It is still winter you may exclaim. Nothing makes me feel better than having a squeaky clean house to start the New Year off right though! This isn't about how to clean your house, rather than what to clean your house with.

It seems that every time you turn around they are coming out with some new and improved product to clean with. I know I have spent a fortune trying to find products that I liked and actually worked.  

Plus, it always seemed like a large cleaning project was always proceeded by a trip to the store for supplies. What a pain! With a little bit of investment and time, you can make your own cleaning products for a lot less. IMO, they do a better job of cleaning also.

The internet is a great source for finding "recipes" for cleaning products, or anything else for that matter. These I have found online and use them in my own home.

Laundry Detergent

 LOVE this stuff!  My clothes come out clean without a whole lot of pretreating.  It takes a few minutes to make a bucket of, which last a long time.*Tip - if you ask at your local bakery they are more than willing to give you a bucket and lid for free.  Just takes a bit of washing out before use.  They also are only 4 gallons, but it is okay.4 cups + 5 gallons hot water1 bar Fels Naptha soap1 cup Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda1 cup 20 Mule Team Borax
