When I told my boys that I was going to start making my own cleaning supplies, they laughed and just said okay mom. They expect these kind of things from me. I am always looking for the healthy, economical route. The ideas don't always work out (ex. our kefir experiment for one...OMG!), but my boys always appease me and applaud my efforts. I will forever love them for that. They were probably happy that this was something that weren't going to have to eat. ; ) Anyway, there are alot of recipes out there, some cost as much or more than store bought, some seem like they would require a lab and some just don't work. This one does! All that you need is alcohol (isopropyl or ethyl), white distilled vinegar, water and cornstarch. That's it! Oh, and a new spray bottle. That's it, I promise.
Mix 1/4 cup of alcohol, 1/4 cup of vinegar, 1tbsp. cornstarch and two cups of warm water in the water bottle and shake. Easy enough? Cause your done. Clean as usual using paper towels, newspaper or a microfiber cloth. And no, it doesn't smell. ; ) *Shake well before each use*
Pat yourself on the back. You have saved money, created something and found a new use for cornstarch. You should feel like a superhero! ; ) This works great on windows, mirrors and chrome. (and probably a few other things, but I can't speak to them yet) I will say to brace yourself, because you're about to see pores that you didn't know that you had. This stuff is great!
*You can use alcohol with mint, if you like to have a light clean scent.
