In keeping with the spirit of The Dollar Stretcher, I have some great money-saving recipes for you! These not only save money, but are time savers as well.
Homemade Anti-Bacterial Spray:
- 1 gallon tap water
- 2 tbsp. regular Clorox bleach
Mix water and bleach in a clean, milk jug and label clearly as to contents. Pour as needed into a spray bottle, and use to sanitize counter tops, tables, cutting boards, bathroom surfaces, etc., as needed. This will keep without losing effectiveness for two weeks. This formula has been recommended by the Health Department for use in kitchens and bathrooms.
Homemade Wipes (These are NOT all just for babies!)
Baby Wipes:
- Brawny or Bounty paper towels (1/2 regular roll)
- 2-1/4 cups water
- 2 Tblsp. liquid baby bath
- 2 tsp. baby oil
Tear off paper towels and lay in a square plastic container. They can be folded or cut in half. Mix water, baby bath & baby oil slowly in a large measuring cup, and slowly pour over stack of paper towels. They will 'squish' down after absorbing the liquid. Seal tightly.
Caution: Some square seals are not airtight and may leak if tipped.
Other variations are:
Face/Hand Wipes:
- 2 tbsp.liquid baby bath
- 2 C water
Bathroom Wipes:
- 1/2 C pine cleaner
- 2 C water
Window Wipes:
- 1C glass cleaner
- 1-1/2 C water
