I owned a green cleaning service for 20 years and when I transitioned to plant based cleaners, I lost the older clientele that didn’t feel that their house was clean unless it reared of bleach.

Fantastic video. Just a quick note. Try water with washing soda or bicarbonate of soda also the Castile soap as they are alkaline when you add vinegar which is acidic you neutralise your cleaning agent. If you use water in the mix then clean you can use the vinegar to help rinse as it then will send a ph neutral waste into the water ways. Also Dr Bronners is pricey, you don’t want to lose any of its effectiveness xx

I have finally just made a batch of my very own laundry liquid using your easy peasy recipe. As i live a little out of the way of decent shops, ive had to rely on online supplies which took nearly two weeks to assemble. I had to half the quantities, and I used lemon balm essential oil. It has made my washing so soft! I don't usually use fabric softener, (my daughters suffer with eczema) so I'm used to crispy clothes😂 this is a pleasant surprise, I have to say, we are farmers so our clothes can come in a bit stinky! So I doubled the dosage for our work clothes just to be on the safe side. I love this stuff! I'm looking to make your wonderful hair care recipes next, so I'm very excited about that! I'm currently enjoying the misery that is covid😢😂 So when I'm able to stand up for more than 5 minutes without fainting, I'll be getting on with that. Also, my own cleaning solution, too.

Hi Everyone! Because I cannot find washing soda in Ontario, I decided to find out how to make it. Sharing this for all my lovely new friends. DIY Washing Soda Use a large baking pan, like a glass cake pan or a deep cookie sheet. Set your oven to 400 degrees F. Spread a thin layer of baking soda in the pan. Bake for about an hour and mix it, then, bake for another hour. There are sites that say it should only take about an hour but when I checked mine, it wasn't done. So I baked it for about 2 hours total until the color became a bit dull. Note Apparently, if you use a glass pan, it will take longer. If you use stone or metal, it will take less time. Chemistry Explained💋 Simply, when baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) gets heated, it turns into washing soda (Sodium Carbonate) + Carbon Dioxide + Water. 2NaHCO3 + Heat ==> Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O That's it! See how that works? Easy peasy. The washing soda is now more granular and not as fine and powdery as its former life. You can tell the color has yellowed a bit too and when you rub it between your fingers, you can feel the tiny granules, unlike baking soda. Add 1-1/2 cups epsom salts to 1/2 cup soda.

Thank you for sharing these. Newspaper does still work great with vinegar if you use the black & white sections for windows (the comics/ funnys leave streaks). I also use white vinegar & peroxide to clean the shower.

Yes, black and white is ok. I think I heard that they cleaned better when they were the old fashioned inks. Just discovered peroxide - it is not really used as a cleaning agent here.

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden when you combine peroxide with white vinegar it makes a temporary bleach (the hydrogen peroxide still breaks down into oxygen and water) and will discolor dark fabrics and whiten whites, but also works amazing on hard water stains.
