Rain, Rain go away come again some other day, do you remember that rhyme from when we were kids? that is the only thing I can think of today. I know there are a lot of places in our country that are in real need of rain, but here in the Midwest someone needs to turn it off for a bit. We are under another flash flood watch for later on tonight and tomorrow with more heavy rain coming in; it's too late because we are flooded in. Rainy days seem dreary but, I know all this wonderful rain will make the crops grow and replenish the wells, no sense in dwelling on it because the weather is out of our hands for sure. Oh well at least my husband go to take the day off today he is wrapping up a 10 day straight work schedule and was ready for a day off. Here are a few more of my recipes for homemade cleaning supplies. I had several requests for more and asking if I would mind if they were reposted on other bogs, the information here is for all to share so please help yourselves. Germ Killer To kill germ a simple solution of vinegar and bleach will kill just about anything including bacteria and virus. I thought when I first read this it wouldn’t work but I did some research and it was proven by and you can read the proof here; http://ourcountryhaven.com/OCH3/index.php?topic=3999.0The recipe; dilute one cup of household bleach in one gallon of water and then add one cup of white vinegar. Window/Glass Cleaner: Simply mix equal amounts of water and vinegar in a spray bottle. Drain Cleaner Formula #1:
Place all ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake vigorously until well mixed. To use, pour 1/4 cup of the mixture into the drain, followed by 2 cups boiling water. Wait 1 minute, and then rinse with tap water. Formula #2:
Plunge stuck drain first. Pour 1/2 cup baking soda down the drain, followed by the vinegar and then boiling water. Tile & Grout Cleaner
Combine ingredients in a gallon container. Cover tightly and shake or swish to mix ingredients. Label for future use and keep out of reach of children. NOTE: Do not combine this mixture with anything containing bleach. To use, fill a spray bottle with the solution. Spray directly onto tile surface, then wipe with a damp sponge or cloth. Eliminates grimy soap film. Have a fantastic day!
