Homemade cleaner

This one comes from reader, Bethany again! Thanks Bethany for passing along your tips! I'm going to try this one for sure!!

Bethany says:
I will share my recipe for homemade cleaner, if you will pass on your recipe for laundry det! Mine comes from my mom, she is RN and a germ freak! She got this from a nurse practioner a few years ago -- you can use any empty spray container, like a glass cleaner bottle. Take 1/2 cup of ammonia and 2 cups alcohol, you can use the 70% base. Take these two combine in bottle, then fill with water almost full, and add any liquid sink soap, like Ivory - add 1 tsp full into bottle and put spray lid on. Just give it a little shake to combine, and you have a great cleaner that KILLS bacteria and odors. It gives the smell of almost a fresh hospital smell. The smell does quickly disappear , the alcohol is a bit strong, but just think of all the disinfecting its doing! By the way you must add the Ivory soap at the end, due to it will make bubbles if you add it any sooner.

Please feel free to pass this along to your readers, its a really cheap and very efficient way of cleaning. You can use it to clean bathrooms, kitchen counters, messes in the kitchen, grease and stuff. Highchairs, tables..... You can also clean your windows and mirrors with this. Just do not try it on wood! I bought the lemon fresh ammonia at Walgreens, it was like 1.99 for a huge bottle, and the alcohol, buy it a walmart, its about 1.67 for a really tall bottle. Its over where band aids are.
