How much vineagar is that? I need to be as frugal as possible. Just signed the boy up for a big trip next year. Big trips = big dollars.

Karen

yea, i'd like to know ,too-how much vinegar??
i like the smell of vinegar-weird huh?

Heather

Congrats on 'green' cleaning!!! I will have to give this one a try!
My FAVORITE (been using it for over three years) all purpose 'windex' style cleaner is:
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup scented rubbing alcohol (I use wintergreen scented and you buy it in the pharmacy section... I buy mine at the dollar store)
Water

I use a recycled windex bottle. Put in the vinegar and rubbing alcohol then fill up the rest of the way with water. The scented rubbing alcohol does two things: removes the vinegar smell and speeds dry time to avoid streaks.

To use to was windows simply up the amount of rubbing alcohol to 3/4 cup.... Works GREAT!!!!!!!!!

Put the Dawn in your spray bottle and then fill it the rest of the way up with white vinegar. Not sure how much vinegar that is, but a small bottle of vinegar will be plenty.

Stephanie

I use this all the time...It works great!

Ann

I've used a recipe similar to this but it's 2 tbsp Dawn dish soap, 2 tsp white vinegar, and 2 tbsp ammonia, with about 1 cup tap water. Mix well, it will foam, it's great for upholstery and carpets in the car and great for cleaning around the house too. Make sure you do a spot test first. But I love it, I won't use anything else from now on.
