IF you want to make the homemade clorox wipes you'll need an old t-shirt ;) and of course a few containers and spray bottles.

Luckily I had a lot of these already on hand.

Okay so...here's the steps for EACH product :)

Laundry Soap:

• 1 cup borax
• 1 cup washing soda
• 1 bar Fels Napatha soap ( these are all together in the detergent section of walmart!)
• OR dove/ivory white (this is my prefrence)

1. you will need to grate the soap (cheese grader) and I also ran mine through my food processor to get it nice and fine.
2. mix all these together and store in an air tight container
3. you only need 1 tablespoon per load! that's right 1 tablespoon!

Dish Detergent

• 1 cup Borax
• 1 cup Washing Soda
• 1/2 cup Mortons Salt
• 1/2 cup Lemishine

1. Simply mix all the ingredients and store in container
2. wrap some rice in a cheese cloth (or something similar) to draw in moisture to prevent clumping!!)
3. Use 1 tablespoon per load! I use a little white vinegar in the rinse aid to eliminate any spotting.

Anti Bacterial Room Spray  (love love love!)

• 1 cup water
• 20 drops essential oil (I used Lavender )

1. Mix the 2 in a spray bottle and VOILA! enjoy!!

"Febreeze"

• 1/8 c fabric softner
• 2 tablespoons baking soda
• warm water

1. start with fabric softner, then baking soda, fill the remainder of the 32oz bottle with water!
   (works wonders with pet odor!)

"Wallflower refills" (from bath and body works)

• Essential oil of your choice (this time I used lavender and orange blossom b/c i already had it)
• warm water

1. Remove wick, rinse bulb out
2. fill bulb 1/3 of the way with the oil
3. fill rest with warm water (not so full it overflows when you re insert wick)
4. re insert wick and your done!

All Purpose Cleaner (loooooove)

• 3 Tablespoon white Vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon Washing Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Castille soap

• 2/3 cup baking soda
• 1/2 cup Castille soap
• 2 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1/2 cup water
• few drops of tea tree or other essential oil

1.  mix them all into a sturdy spray bottle (i had to use a thicker "straw" for the spray bottle)

***Shower, Bathtub Cleaner***

• 12oz vinegar
• 12oz Dawn soap (BLUE)

1. Heat vinegar in microwave, pour into squirt bottle
2. add soap to vinegar and gently "shake" to mix.
