Cleaning Solution - Kelly Neilsen

In a gallon jug, fill half full with water. Using a funnel, add 1/4 cup soda, 1/2 cup borax, and 1 cup ammonia. Shake well. Let it sit a while for the bubbles to go away. Fill it up with water.

Hint: If you let the water run down the side of the jug, you won't get more bubbles developing.

Write the recipe on the container too for the next time you need to make it. Be sure to label it as well.

I use it in a squirt bottle and refill from the big jug. I have found this works best on carpets and upholstery. Saturate the spot, then blot it up with a clean rag. It also works well on lifting grease from kitchen surfaces.

In a bucket of warm water add a squirt of dishwashing soap and a half a small bottle of Jet Dry. All you have to do is scrub your windows with it and then spray off with a hose.
