Hello again iori,

Here are a few all purpose cleaning formulas:

Basic All Purpose Cleaning
This makes about 2 cups of formula, and it works great at cleaning dirt and grime.

    1/2 teaspoon baking soda or washing soda
    2 teaspoons borax
    1/2 teaspoon liquid soap or detergent
    2 cups hot water

Combine ingredients and water into a spray bottle. Shake well. The washing soda or baking soda makes this formula a great grease cutter.

All Purpose Cleaner with Ammonia
    1 qt rubbing alcohol
    1 cup lemon ammonia
    1 tsp dishwashing liquid
    21 oz 409

Combine ingredients into empty one gallon container. Shake the contents, and top off the gallon container with water to make a full gallon of cleaning solution. Note: don't add bleach to ammonia, a harmful and toxic gas will result. Pour the cleaner into a spray bottle and your are all set.

Heavy Duty Cleaner

    1 TB Ammonia
    1 TB Liquid Laundry Detergent
    2 Cups Water

Mix all ingredients well and pour the cleaning solution in a spray bottle.

Hope this helps.

The sanitizers by Microessentiallabs are known for killing even the most stubborn germs. They have been manufacturing disinfectants for over 75 years now and has been carrying its legacy since.

Hello, I was looking for natural cleaners recently as well. This blog had some easy ideas on creating your own.One suggestion they have on the blog was mixing peppermint oil to your solution for fragrence. I found the oil online for ten bucks but its strong stuff so it lasts 6 months or so.
