DIY Cheap and EASY Homemade Cleaners! | 40 ways to Use 4 Simple Ingredients

Inexpensive doesn't have to mean ineffective! These 4 basics: Zote soap, apple cider vinegar, rubbing alcohol, baking soda can be as effective as name brands in my experience. They can be used to replace many more than 40 household products, but these are 40 simple ways we use regularly that have brought much value to our lives.
⚠️ I've been advised of the following possibilities by AWESOME VIEWERS!!!
⛔️ On using baking soda in carpets - "Use baking soda with caution for deodorizing carpets. It can damage your vacuum cleaner. I spoke with a vacuum repairman when I accompanied a friend who took her own vacuum in for repair (not related to baking soda). Speak to a repairman or two and see if they agree."
🌿Why 40? I'm celebrating my birthday and this is a FRUGAL, FUN & MINIMAL way to do it! See more videos related to this here:

    I like your calm, slower style of speaking. That's a bonus...I can't stand fast-paced, yelling, screeching, creepy cheerful, overly-hyper KZreadrs.

    I started using Zote after watching this video. Let me just say THANK YOU!! It has eliminated my dry, itchy skin. It has drastically reduced the amount of moisturizer I use and my skin has never looked better. I use it as shampoo, body wash and face cleanser. It’s replaced a lot of products I use. My husband is a gardener and was complaining of bug bites. I recommended it to him and now he’s using and bugs avoid him! lol.

    When my kids were growing up if they dropped food or such on their clothing they would quickly wet it and rub with zote to prevent stain. I have used rubbing alcohol on tile in bathroom, glass and mirrors for 40 years. Keep spreading the word on these great cleaners !

    I love baking soda and use it for so much, however I had never heard of the bean thing. With as much beans as I eat, I'll definitely have to give that a go. Thank you!

    I’ve been using Zote to make my own laundry soap and vinegar as fabric softener for years. I can’t wait to try your ideas on more ways to use it...Thank you!

    I LOVE this!! I do some DIY cleaners but you gave me a lot more ideas! I would have never thought to use the Zote soap for all of those things! I love apple cider vinegar too for a ton of personal uses like for skin, hair and I also drink it every day. I tend to use white vinegar for cleaning because it is so much cheaper. Great idea using the bottle for a spray bottle! Rubbing alcohol and baking soda are also my go to cleaners. I didn't know about baking soda for softening beans! Great video, Wendy! I would love a video on the Zote soap!

    SO Excited! I went to Home Depot this morning and bought 2 (14 oz.) bars of Zote - found in Laundry / cleaning aisle. Just started a Zote liquid after cleaning out a glass blender I saved just for making non-edible solutions as this...I even felt ambitious enough to Double the recipe!! Thank you so much...I will get back tomorrow to share how it turned out!

    I will definitely be trying that remedy for fruit/ bugs problem. You're right, there is no better carpet cleaner than baking soda. I add tea tree essential oil to the soda for extra oomph and disinfecting.

    ZOTE it is a Mexican soap my grandma and my mother use it all the time for laundry, they boil water and add little pieces of zote then when it is melted in the water they adde it to the washer mashine so the whites will be incredible white. Great for oil stains in clothe, amazing product and so cheap. In Mexico we used it always.

    Another EXCELLENT video! I've never been big into fancy cleaners etc. I swore off paper towels but was struggling to get windows streak free. Newspaper was the key! Gets my fingers a lil black but another use for newspapers so win win! I love Zote but had NO IDEA it's so awesome. Keep 'em comin!🏆

    Great education for me! I'm going to gradually implement all of them, just woke up to frugality and want to save for a Tiny house and land, so this is very inspirational. Please show how to melt zote soap.

    I use baking soda in mouth wash. Mix 2 cups of clean water, add 1 tb. spoon of baking soda and few essential oils (clove, spearmint, patchouli, cinnamon, grapefruit for freshness, mint) Actually essential oils do great with oral health: eliminate stomatitis, inflammation and bleeding gums. I bought on eBay 1oz of each of the brand Doterra (these oils are clean so you can safely swallow it). Thanks for your video. Very helpful.
