So a few years ago when I was cleaning my, then 3 year old, asked if she could help me clean. At the time all I had was Windex, so I decided that it was time to make something that my daughter could use...I mean far be it from me to discourage a little help! So the first thing I did was to make a multi-purpose cleaner, then I figured why stop there and started making my own laundry detergent. Those went so well I started doing even more. Here are my favorite recipes!

I'll be posting more in the weeks to come. I've got plenty more cleaners, and health and beauty recipes to share. If you try these please let me know how you liked them!
1 people have had something to say about this:
I grew up in a house where allergies were plentiful :( so making homemade house cleaners was necessary, as well as cost effective. When I was pregnant, I started making laundry soap. I love it!
Thanks so much for posting your mixes. It's always great to compare and see if I can tweak my ingredients! :D
