Easy Recipes for General Cleaning
and Getting Rid of Pests
List of Ingredients
1.All-Purpose Cleaner
1 gallon hot water
1/2 cup washing soda
Mix well; wash surface; rinse.
2.Glass Cleaner
1 gallon water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon liquid dish detergent
Apply with cloth or mist/spray bottle; dry with clean cloth.
3. Laundry Pre-Soak for Stains
1/2 cup Wisk (liquid laundry detergent)
1/2 cup ammonia (sudsy or scented)
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
Great for getting out food stains! I've used other laundry
detergents, just make sure NOT to use any that have bleach in them.
Reminder: NEVER mix bleach and ammonia!
4. Wood Cleaner and Floor Polish
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Mix well; rub on surface; buff with clean, dry cloth.
5. Toilet Bowl Cleaner
1/2 cup borax
Scrub bowl with borax and a brush.
6. Clogged Drain
For clogged drains, plug overflow drain with wet cloth; pour 1/4 cup
baking soda into drain followed by 1/2 cup vinegar; close drain
tightly until fizzing action stops; flush with boiling water. Remove
cloth from overflow drain.
7. Ants
Wash the area of the ant's trail to prevent others from following;
sprinkle boric acid (obtained in hardware stores) along the line of
entry.
8. Fleas
To prevent flea infestations, feed pet tablet of brewers yeast and
garlic. Bathe dogs regularly during flea season and use a flea comb
on your cat or dog. Vacuum furniture and carpet thoroughly and
frequently (store vacuum outside of home - in shed or garage, for
instance - during problem periods); clean your pet's favorite
sleeping spots regularly and sprinkle with fennel or rosemary.
9. Moths
To prevent moths from feasting on your clothing and woolens, keep
them clean and store in a cedar chest. Or place sachets made of
cedar chips or lavender in your closets.
10. Roaches
Set out a dish containing equal parts sugar and baking soda (the
sugar attracts and the baking soda eliminates).
