Make-it Monday is for the do-it-yourself folks. I will post ideas on Mondays so that you have time to plan ahead and can use the rest of the week to gather any necessary items.

Let us start with an easy one. In my last post I suggested some inexpensive items to add to your next grocery list. If you already picked up the distilled white vinegar (made from grain), great! If not, there’’s still time.

All-Purpose Household Cleanser/disinfectant

supplies: clean spray bottle, vinegar, water (optional: essential oil such as lavender or grapefruit)

Step 1 – fill bottle half-way with plain water

Step 2 – fill rest of bottle with vinegar

Step 3 – spray surface to be cleaned (!!!NOT MARBLE!!!!)

Step 4 – wipe clean with a sponge or  soft cloth

Now, is not that easy?

BONUS TIPS:

Surface does not seem clean enough? Try full-strength vinegar next time and let the surface soak for a few minutes.

Do not like the vinegar smell? Add a few drops (3-5) of your choice of essential oil. The vinegar disappears fairly quickly leaving a more pleasant sent behind.
