Make this handy all-purpose cleaning spray for use on hard surfaces around your home.
Author: Beverly

Equipment:

  • 1 spray bottle (16 oz size)

Materials:

  • 1¾ cups hot tap water
  • 1½ teaspoons borax (or washing soda)
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • small squirt dish soap

Instructions:

  • Add the hot tap water to your spray bottle. (The water needs to be warm to dissolve the borax or washing soda in the next step)
  • Add the borax (or washing soda) to the spray bottle. The put the nozzle back on and shake it really well to dissolve the borax.
  • Take the nozzle back off again and add the vinegar and the dish soap. Then put the nozzle back on and give the bottle a final bit of swirling and shaking to get everything mixed together.
  • To use: Squirt some of the cleaner onto the surface to be cleaned and then wipe with a soft cloth.
    Note: Because this cleaner contains some vinegar, it is best not to use it on any soft stone surfaces such as quartz or granite.
