Secrets

I have some secrets to share with you. Sorry they aren't juicy ones!

I have been in a Bible Study since around Sept. I think and it has been a lot of fun. The study is about mentoring this generation through simple homemaking tips and spiritual insight. I have learned a lot and thought I would share some things with you.

Homemade Laundry Detergent
1 bar of ivory soap
1 box of borax
1 box of washing soda/baking soda/oxiclean

Grate the bar of soap up and mix the borax and washing soda all together until well blended. For a light load use 1/2 T. powder and for a heaving load use 1 T powder.

This makes a huge amount and then you don't use that much of the powder for each load so it lasts you a long time. It only costs about 10 dollars to buy all the ingredients. If you think about how much you spend on detergent now which I think I spend around 10 or more and you might only get 50 loads if that out of it. Well you will easily get twice if not more out of this recipe. Also if you have sensitive skin or a family member does this is really good. I am almost done with my detergent and can't wait to go buy all of this and start making my own!

We took a night to talk about cleaning and different cleaning products. I amazingly knew a lot of the things that were said especially when it came to cleaning with vinegar and baking soda. It's a natural way of cleaning and cheaper too. Just google the different ways of cleaning with those products and you will be amazed what all it can do.

Something I didn't know existed and I went out and bought one and I think it works great. I don't like cleaning blinds, well who does anyway?!? But there is a nifty tool that can help you with that and it goes much faster. So here it is and I own one now!

I haven't tried this yet but to get rid of rings in the toilet or just to get them clean is to use denture cleaner. And just buy the cheapest brand of it. 

If I think of other secrets I have I will share more later!!
