Miracle Cleaner: Hydrogen Peroxide & Dawn!


I have found a MIRACLE cure! (Sorry if you already know about this one! LOL). My son gets frequent nosebleeds, and he had a major one last night, because he’s been taking anti-histamine lately due to a cold.  Anyways, I used a mix of about 1 tbsp. of Dawn to 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide, and a 1/2 c of water, and sprayed it on the coat. Then I washed it in COLD water only, and let it air dry. This is how it turned out! I’m so excited! It didn’t lift the color and it totally removed the blood. Please note, there were a few areas where I had to put a small amount of hydrogen peroxide directly on the blood stain where it was super soaked, but I was careful to rinse it off quickly as to not remove any color from the coat. I’m so excited! I’ve read before that you can use this formual to lift many stains from fabric and carpeting. However, always spot check first before applying it over a large area!

 

Miracle Cleaner Formula:

  • 1 Tbsp. Dawn
  • 1 C Hydrogen Peroxide
  • 1/2 C water

Mix together in a spray bottle and apply!

Skincare DIY with Lemons


When you think about Lemons you probably think it’s just for eating, cooking or drinking probably. Well not any more! Lemons are great for MANY things!! My personal favorite is for my skin. Lemons won’t fix your skin overnight, but they can help treat certain problems and may even help prevent serious skin conditions.
Lemons are perfect for:
Tightening pores
Clearing up mild acne
Lightening acne scars
Leaving your face smooth and conditioned
Drying up oily skin

This is what I do daily after my shower:

Slice a lemon in half. Rub the lemon over my entire face, missing the eyes and lips. Let it dry for about 10-15 minutes. It will itch like crazy!! Then I rinse with warm water. Your skin will feel AMAZING after!! Try it out and let us know what you think…

DIY Carpet Deodorizer


This is SO EASY to make!! This is an old coffee container, where my husband drilled holes in the top. However, I think an old Parmasean Cheese container would be MUCH simpler!!! That’s my suggestion! Then just use 20-30 drops of essential oil to baking soda in a container. I just mixed with a fork and then placed in the container. This is SO easy and cheaper than the store bought version!!

DIY Window Cleaner


 

We’re sharing another easy cleaner you can make at home! DIY window cleaner! With Windex costing around $2.00 per bottle, this is MUCH, MUCH cheaper! I also use newsprint to wipe my windows instead of paper towels, which also helps with streaking!!!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 4 Cups Water

(This recipe can be doubled if you need more!)

DIY Laundry Detergent



Cleaners can really eat into your budget, so why not switch to something can be done relatively easy at home for MUCH less!

Ingredients: (this recipe can be multiplied to make larger batches)

  • 1 cup of Borax (76oz. box) – $4.99
  •  1 cup of Arm & Hammer washing soda (55oz.) – $3.99
  •  and 1 bar of grated soap (Ivory, Naptha, Fels, or ZOTE)
  • 3 Tbsp. baking soda (This is optional)

Directions:

  1. Grate bar soap with cheese graters, or use a food processor for quicker results!
  2. Add the Borax to your plastic totate, and break up clumps!
  3. Mix in washing soda, grated soap, and baking soda in a plastic tub/tote (thoroughly).
  4. Use no more than 1 Tbsp per load as this will be plenty! A baby formula scoop or small iced tea scoop is the perfect size!


The Details and Questions:

  1. Will this work in a front loader HE machine? YES! I have a front loading machine and have had no problems!
  2. No smells and no suds!   There will be NO smells or suds with this homemade solution. Remember that a lot of artificial dyes and scents go into making regular cleaner, so there will be no smell.
  3. Does it clean my clothes as good as detergent? Yes, while there is no smell, it is cleaning the clothes just as much for less!
  4. Do I still need a liquid softener- Yes, you will still wnat to use a liquid softener, and we wrote a post for DIY Fabric Softener too!

Liquid DIY Laundry Detergent

Reader Rhonda shared her Liquid Formula with us too, since her HE machine only allows for liquid laundry detergent!

Thanks, Rhonda!

Ingredients/Tools:

  • ½ cup Borax (76 oz box = $4.99)-  You can get 19 batches out of this box, for .19c/each.
  • ½ cup Arm & Hammer washing soda (55oz = $3.99) – You can get 13 batches out of this box for.30c each.
  • 1/3 bar of grated Ivory soap (3 pkg w/ coupons for $1.00) -You can get 9 batches out of this for .11c each.
  • 3 Tbsp baking soda (optional)
  • 4 gallons of water (I use filtered water from our refrigerator because our water is hard here).
  • Empty laundry containers or 4 empty milk jugs
  • 1 funnel
  • 1 large bucket & 1 very large pan for the stove

Directions:

  1. Put large pan on the stove with 6 cups of water on med/high heat.
  2. Add ½ cup borax, ½ cup washing soda.
  3. Finely grate 1/3 bar of soap & add to pot.
  4. Heat & stir constantly until all of the soap is melted completely. This will take a few minutes.
  5. Once the soap is melted, Add the remaining gallons of water & just heat through. Do not boil, just heat through.
  6. Remove from heat & fill the containers that you want to keep the laundry soap in. After fully cooled the soap will become more ‘gel like’. You need to shake the containers to mix because it will settle as it sits.

Notes:

  • You only need ¼ cup per load. This mixture will not suds in your machine.
  • This recipe makes 4 gallons, .15c/gallon of laundry soap.

DIY Fabric Softener + Fabric Softener Sheets


Ingredients

  • 2 C hair conditioner (use some from your stockpile or whatever you got for FREE with coupons)!
  • 3 C White Distilled Vinegar
  • 6 C boiling or very hot water

Tools:

  • 1 bucket for mixing
  • 1 empty liquid softener bottle or another plastic bottle for storage
  • funnel

Instructions:

      1. Pour boiling water and conditioner into bucket and mix thoroughly with a wisk. Make sure there are no clumps and it is completely smooth (this will take a few minutes).
      2. Add vinegar and mix thoroughly.  The vinegar is the actual softener, and the conditioner is for the scent. The vinegar also helps with static cling!

Fabric Softener Sheets:

Use this SAME formula to make fabric softener sheets! Simply fill an empty spray bottle (The same size as a Windex bottle) which 1C of detergent, and fill the rest with water. Spray 5-10 times (your preference) on an old washcloth or cut-up older towel and throw in the dryer with your clothes!

DIY Fabric Softener Crystals


I know I said DIY Foaming Hand soap was super easy, but this is even EASIER! To make homemade Fabric Softener Crystals you simply add 30-40 drops of essentail oils to either Epsom Salt, Coarse Sea Salt, or Coarse Kosher Salt as well!!  I used the whole container of Coarse Kosher Salt ot the 30-40 drops of essentails oils! Since Purex Crystals are SOOO expensive (even though I usually buy them on BOGO with a coupon), I still think this is a GREAT way to save money if your store doesn’t run BOGO’s on them that often!!

Ingredients:

  • 1 box/bag of Epsom Slat, Coarse Sea Salt, or Coarse Kosher Salt
  • 30-40 drops of essentail oil of your choice (Lavendar is a VERY nice smell!)

Directions:

  1. Mix salt and essentail oils, and store
