All Purpose Cleaner

I was a bit skeptical about the all purpose cleaner so I waited to try it in a few places before passing judgement.

It gets a resounding 10 gold stars.  My bathroom sink was a fiasco - I hate cleaning my bathroom so I wait to the last possible minute when I can absolutely no longer stand it and would be so embarrassed if someone saw it that I cave and finally clean it. Whew. I also used it to clean up some spills on my stove top and wiped the bathroom sink.

I used the recipe from The Everything Soap Blog. Just scroll down that post. I'll be working on the glass cleaner post so you'll hear my thoughts on that soon.

It was very simple to make. The only ingredient I had to hunt down was tea tree oil. However, that was a simple search to see what stores nearby carried it. I didn't even have to go to a more expensive retailer like Whole Foods. 

It took me about a minute to toss the ingredients into a spray bottle.  I grabbed a few rags from the linen closet and headed to the bathroom where the results were great. The best part is that I didn't feel like I was covered in chemicals and needed a shower to clean myself up after cleaning up the house. 

This was simple, low cost, easy, and effective. A permanent switch for me.
