Today we are going to take a look at a few simple recipes for cleaning. The idea here is to make your own cleaning products using non-toxic materials that will leave your surfaces clean and fresh.

From personal experience, I can vouch for using vinegar as a cleaning agent. Many people are afraid of the smell but with the following cleaning recipes, you don’t use much vinegar at all. And if you want to experiment with straight vinegar you can as the strong smell will dissipate quickly.

• All Purpose: Mix 1/2 cup of vinegar, 1/4 cup baking soda in 2 liters of water
• Window Cleaner: Mix 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water

• Paste Cleaner: Mix 2 tablespoons salt and 1 table spoon vinegar
• Metal Cleaner: Mix 2 tablespoons Cream of Tartar and add in enough vinegar to create a paste
