I just finished a batch of home made cleaners. Alice's Wonder Spray is commonly known. I find that this recipe really can take care of most every day wipe-ups. Further it is cheap. Making your own cleaner is another small way to take control of your sustainability. Proctor & Gamble just is not always needed.
This type of mix-your-own cleaner that is available at the SE Como neighborhood's refill station and that the Mighty Midway 4h group did as a event in Midway neighborhood. The Mississippi Watershed Management Organization sponsors/ed these. The point of their interest that these cleaners are safer for you and safer for our surface waters (i.e. the Mississippi River). Having different scents available makes the mixing task fun! Lemon, and cedar are very nice.
Here is the basic wonder spray recipe:
Ingredients
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar1 teaspoon borax
1 1/2 cups very hot distilled or purified water
1T liquid dish soap
3-15 drops essential oils (optional)
Directions
Fill bottle with the hot water. Add the the vinegar and borax in a 16oz spray bottle,and shake to dissolve the vinegar and borax. Add soap LAST and then scent with essential oil.
I have really grown to depend on this but I didn't know that sometimes it had oil in it and I couldn't use it on glass then.

Very cool. Most cleaners have so many nasty chemicals. I will have to make-up a batch of this stuff.

How about we combine this with "reverse graffiti" to create eco street art?
