Most of you girls know that I am going to start my own cleaning business. Well, usually I just buy my own cleaning products...Target brand. However, with dh being laid off I would like to make my own cleaning products but have no idea what to use....I've heard you can use vinagar, but I have no clue what ratio to mix with water if you all know what I mean??
Any ideas would be appreciated... Thanks! :)

(great on windows too!) Take a huge handful of citrus of your choice(tangerine,lime,orange grapefruit)Be advenurous,
use a combo of 2!LOL
Place peels in a lg container w/a lid and fill to top of peels w/vinegar. I also add some of the citrus juice of citrus Im using to make it smell extra good and is good for deoderizing. Let sit for 1-2 wks(shorter if you cant wait LOL)Pour citrus vinegar solution into a large spray bottle you will use.
To give you an idea I have used a Windex size bottle or have made more concentrated in a smaller bottle.Add 1/4- 1/2 C but you can add up to 1 C if you prefer(some people like less of the alcohol smell) rubbing alcohol and fill the rest water.
I make a new vinegar/citrus solution and set aside each time I pour prepared cleaner mix in spray bottle.
I use this for every type of cleaning job-windows mirrors,toilets,showers bathrm kitchen counters,surfaces, the inevitable "oopsie" spills on floors,living and dining rm surface dusting,spray on a rag to sanitize/clean electronics in cell phones,comp screens I also found it works great for pet accident clean ups and deoderizes.The vinegar is one of the best deoderizers and cleaners to remove pet urine/feces smell :o) You can spray this on carpets that have that old urine smell-test a small area first) You may need to spray alot and/ or several times to get rid of the odor. Happy Cleaning!

I've always done a 50/50 ratio of water and vinegar that works pretty well.
You know what's really awesome? You can advertise yourself as a green cleaning service. I would totally pay for that since I try to limit the chemicals in my home.
Vinyl floors: 1 cup of vinegar with 1 gallon of warm/hot water
Wood floors: 1/2 cup of vinegar with 1 gallon of warm/hot water
All purpose cleaner (my favorite!!!!!!): in a spray bottle you mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of borax, a few drops of soap (I have a spray bottle with and without dish soap), a few drops of lemon or orange juice (to cut the pickled smell out), and hot water. Shake the bottle around until the Borax disolves.
Cleaning lists for Friday
How often do you wash your fly swatter?
