house cleaning recipes

[muffin]

I've heard there are recipes with natural ingredients like vinegar for various house cleaning projects (bathroom, kitchen, floors, etc.). Does anyone have these?
Thanks

I'll try to help...

I use baking soda, tto, vinegar, and dish soap to effectively clean my entire house. Here's how it goes or what I use what for:

baking soda: neutralizes odors and is a gentle cleanser...just dampen onto a rag and clean with it

white vinegar and lemon: removes dirt, buildup and grime (like dirty windows)...lemon helps for the smell too

liquid soap: grease fighter

tea trea oil: mold/mildew and disinfectant

If you add one tsp of eo to 1-2 cups water, that's a decent starter amount. On bathroom funk, I sometimes use tto straight or lesser diluted than what I just typed for the shower buildup and in the toilet. Straight vinegar can also do mold but it stinks so darned bad!!! Another good vinegar one is 2 cups water to 1/2-1 cup vinegar and you can cut it with dish soap and nice smelling oils. This is all approx, I'm sure, but about what I do/use. HTH!!
