Eliminate Common Household Stains

Craft An Essential Oil Dish Soap
Mix Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap with baking soda and vegetable glycerin for a green clean to dishes.
SUPPLIES:
-Baking Soda
-Water
-Soap Dispenser (You can buy this adorable amber soap dispenser here on Amazon.)
-Pure Castile Soap (Unscented)
-Vegetable Glycerin
-Tea Tree Oil
-Grapefruit Oil
-Health Guard Oil
STEP 1: Pour 1 1/4 Cup Water into a bowl.
STEP 2: Pour 3/4 cup of pure-castile soap into the bowl with the water.
STEP 3: Pour 2 Tbsp. vegetable glycerin into the mix. I've always found it hard to find vegetable glycerin, so I bought it off of Amazon.
STEP 4: Dump a nice tsp. of baking soda into the bowl.
STEP 5: Drop about 6 drops of grapefruit oil in as well.
(This is where you can start to customize your soap a bit according to the scent you would like.) I got this grapefruit oil from Amazon, but I also like this essential oil pack that has a variety of scents.
STEP 6: Though you can customize your oil scents for the soap, all
should have a good health shield or on guard oil added to help eliminate
bacteria. Add 4-6 drops of this. Again, this is a unique product, so I
got mine on Amazon for a good price.
STEP 7: To help eliminate grease add 4 drops of tea tree oil. Tea tree
oil has a ton of benefits, and they're great for getting rid of grease.
You can check out this whole selection of types on Amazon.
STEP 8: Mix your concoction up and you will start to see it sudsing up!
Remove the pump from your soap dispenser and pour the mixture through a
funnel into your soap bottle.
Look at all those suds! I know initially getting all these ingredients
can feel expensive compared to just grabbing a bottle of Palmolive or
Dawn, but you barely use any of the ingredients for a pretty substantial
batch and have loads left over for the future. You also have to
consider all the great benefits of going green!
Clean Up Those Window Tracks
Scrub clean the tracks of your window with a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda.

Directions are simple. Combine baking soda, washing soda and citric acid
in a bowl. Spray water onto the mix and quickly combine with her hands
until it becomes dough-like. Press into molds.
Dishes Before
Add a little white vinegar to the bottom of the dishwasher if you have hard water. I add a bit of liquid castile soap as well.
No
need for harsh chemicals when you're using your automatic dishwasher.
With these simple, effective ingredients you'll have your dishes
sparkling in no time!
Make Your Kitchen Sink Flawless
In a spray bottle, have distilled vinegar with baking soda. Spray and let soak in your sink before scrubbing off.
This sink was dull and dingy and needed to be clean and shiny. Another DIY using baking soda and vinegar made this happen.
After trying several cleaners full of chemicals, I wasn't happy with the results so I tried using what I had on hand.
Start by giving the whole sink area a heavy spraying of plain white
vinegar then sprinkle a heavy coat of baking soda all over. Let this set
for at least 5 minutes. Don’t forget to do the faucet area and outside
rim of the sink.
After letting the baking soda soak into the vinegar, dampen a dish cloth, or you might prefer a sponge, with just enough water so you can make a paste with your baking soda. Keep scrubbing with the paste solution until you have done all of it.
Rinse well and dry. For all the details check out my blog post.

With Baking Soda, Have No Fear Of Silver
Boil aluminum foil in water, add baking soda to the boiling, and slip the tarnished silver inside.
Clean Your Glass Cooktop With Ease
Sprinkle baking soda and leave a damp cleaning cloth over for several minutes.
No drip pans, that is the most wonderful about glass cooktops. However,
if you spill and burn things routinely like I do, you'll find yourself
wiping down your stove after you use it. While wiping down after every
use is great, a good scrubbing is needed every so often but you can use
the simple trick I use everyday to get a streak free shine.
You will need:
Hot soapy water
Terry cleaning cloth
Baking soda
Microfiber cloth
Glass cleaner
You will need:
Hot soapy water
Terry cleaning cloth
Baking soda
Microfiber cloth
Glass cleaner
Make sure you have milk, spill spices and pasta water burned to the surface and then wipe down with a hot soapy cleaning cloth.
Notice that you can get it all up with hot soapy water and liberally sprinkle baking soda.
Throw your cleaning cloth over the baking soda and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
Attempt to wipe up the baking soda. Wipe up until residue is gone.
Notice a clean but streaky appearance.
Pull out your trusty glass cleaner and microfiber cloth. Homemade glass cleaning solutions should work well too.
Spray cleaner and buff with your microfiber cloth for a streak free shine.
