My favorite Pinterest Homemade Household Items!!

 Because of Pinterest, I am addicted in trying all these homemade household items.. Here are some I have made and love!! The last two are what I will be making tomorrow! I will let you know what I think after I have used them!! 

SPOT REMOVER: For clothes and carpet!! Also read it is a great shower cleaner. I haven't tried it but will soon!!I found this and tried it for carpet spots and I will never buy spot remover again!! I am on my second batch now! 

1 Cup Dish Washing Liquid, (I used the Gain brand)

2 Cups Hydrogen Peroxide 

I Mixed the two into a empty spray bottle filled the rest with water. The recipe I got this from did not add water, but with me doing this the spots still have came up every time!!

Finger Nail Whitener:

 Let this paste sit on your nails for 5 minutes! 

 

Homemade Carpet Powder: 

Mix baking soda & several drops of any flavored essential oil together in a bowl using a whisk.  Then, spoon the mixture into a empty Parmesan cheese container, or some other shaker. Sprinkle onto your carpets - let it sit for about 15 minutes, then vacuum up.

Powdered Laundry Detergent:

• 1 - 12 oz. box borax
• 1 - 7 oz. box arm & hammer supper washing soda
• 1 - 3 lb. Container of OxyClean
• 2 - 14.1 oz bars of Zote soap
• 1 - 4 lb. box of Arm & Hammer Soda
• 1 - 2 bottles (55 oz.) Purex Chrystal Fabric softener

-Grate soap or break into pieces and process in a food processor until powdered. Mix all ingredients. For light load, use 1 Tablespoon. For heavy or heavily soiled load, use 2 Tablespoons.

*Arm & Hammer "Super Washing Soda". Baking Soda will not work, nor will Arm & Hammer Detergent - It must be sodium carbonate!!

TIPS FOR LAUNDRY SOAP: We use Zote bar soap in the homemade soap recipes, but you can use Ivory, Sunlight, Kirk's Hardwater Castile bars. Don't use heavily perfumed soaps. Washing Soda and Borax can often be found on the laundry or cleaning aisle.

Grout Cleaner:

• 1 Tbl Borax

• 2 Tbl baking soda

• 1 Tbl water
