Yes it is! I actually use a combination very similar to Ms Becky’s, except for glass and mirrors I sub in rubbing alcohol for the lemon juice. I also add several drops of favorite pure essential oils, like mint, tea tree, and orange.
See I used to use essential oils until the herbalists I learn from (humble home herbalist here😆) explained that they're hormone disruptors (not just lavender), they kill the gut biome also which is the mechanism ...I think..that is the cause of lowering the immune system. But I used them for years too.
I’ve been watching you for about 2-3 years. I’m a 76 yr old widow for 7 1/2 yrs. When I saw this cleaning video I got right up and made it. I have not looked back! It’s what I’ve needed. I am allergic to many fragrances and odors. I have spray bottles in my bathrooms and kitchen /laundry room. I can’t thank you enough. Not only does it work on EVERYTHING it’s saving me tons of money and space. God continue to bless you. Your sister in Christ, Marie from Reading PA.
Like you, I have been widowed earlier this year. Since then I have been cleaning our home (not as well as my wife used to}. I have come to the end of all the products my wife had went shopping last week and looked at all the cleaners bathroom, kitchen, walls, work surfaces, Sinks, hobs and ovens. That would have cost about £20 or $30, I thought they couldn't all be that different, there was no such thing as a general cleaner. So I came here to find tips and found this recipe, it seems to do everything. Which I am sure as good as the products listed.
If you want to make it smell a bit pretty, take a half gallon or gallon jug, fill with lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit peels then fill with white vinegar until the peels are covered. Let sit for 6-8 weeks then strain. Use this vinegar to create your cleaning spray.
Thanks, Becky! You can also use this recipe as a weed killer. Spray the weeds when the sun is shining. This is much safer and cheaper than chemical weed killer. Happy Spring everyone! 🌞
@@Guest-mq9de Very true, all herbicides are in fact very carcinogenic. I wish they'd ban them all! This cleaner would be a great alternative used for burning out weeds.
This is a great idea! oven cleaner I use; Make a paste out of baking soda use it as an oven cleaner. Paste up all the dirty areas in the oven leave 16 hours I usually leave it overnight! Works wonders!
God bless you Becky. Thank you for this helpful and timely video. Another inexpensive option I use for cleaning my counters and tile floors: boiling water straight from the teapot. It kills germs and no extra ingredients necessary. Also, boiling water is the most natural and economic friendly way to kill pesky weeds growing between bricks or blocks on pathways or walkways for example. The weeds wilt immediately and can be plucked out easily without backbreaking work. Have a good weekend everone!
Becky, I just love you so much. You just seem so strong and I wish I was there right next to you sometimes…like when times get tough really hard… worrying, about my marriage of 23 years. I’m so grateful for your program because it’s the sweetest thing I can watch many times and you get my heart in a better place. Love you very much 💕🙏
You don't need to use this one too often but if you or your dog get sprayed by a skunk this will help. Hydrogen peroxide one of those brown bottles from the dollar store should do it. A tablespoon of dish soap or liquid hand soap. And 1/3 of a cup of baking soda. Mix in a bowl or spray bottle. Don't get it in the dog's eyes give it about a minute to let it work. Then rinse out. God gave us these little four-legged angels we have got to look out for them. God bless you all I hope this year's better than the last.
I can testify that this absolutely 100% works. My dog has been sprayed 4 times in the past 2 months and we’ve used this every time and it works wonders. Just don’t leave it on long and it did lighten my dogs black spots to brown so be prepared for that. I also put some baby oil on my dog due to her having sensitive skin and it seemed to ease her itching from the baking soda drying it out. If anyone has any better suggestions on what to use on her instead of baby oil I’m all for trying new things.
Thanks for the cleaning tips. Also on the Spiritual note... I listen to worship music every night before going to sleep. Wonderful atmosphere for sleep! God bless you! 🙏❤
Thank you so much, Becky. I do have one helpful hint. To clean windows with NO streaks, use a dollar tree mop with this cleaner to clean, then a squeegee to dry, drying the squeegee with a rag each time you swipe. It’s a game changer! I love it!
I juice lemons to freeze cubes. The rinds go in a glass jar, cover with water and screw on a lid. Let sit for minimum of 2 weeks. Strain and put in a spray bottle. Great cleaner for lots of things. Thanks,ideas. for more great odeas.
I use vinegar in my carpet scrubber all the time and it works great. I use it in all kinds of cleaning. I think a lot of people get caught up in all the strong exotic or whatever perfumes that are loaded into the commercial cleaning products. If it doesn’t smell a certain way, they think it’s not getting things clean. This mixture Becky is sharing will neutralize unpleasant odors, but doesn’t necessarily smell perfume like. If I put some orange peels, cloves, and a cinnamon stick in a pot of simmering water, my whole house smells amazing in no time with no harmful toxins added in.
There's always a spray bottle of bleach and water sitting on the side of my kitchen sink. I use a dish scrubber from the dollar store, the brush on the handle style, and it gets a good spray after each use. The area gets a spray and wipe after making poultry, too. The FDA says we shouldn't wash poultry but I'm going to wash those birds!
I will definitely add this to my arsenal! Thank you very much. A tip from my grandma, ammonia can be your best friend. I mix 1/4 cup of non sudsing ammonia to 1 - 1 1/2 cups of warm water and mix well. This works wonders on glass, windows, mirrors, and the outside of enamel appliances, not stainless. I also used to use this on my floors when I could get down on my hands and knees. Now for my floors, I use bleach mixed with hot water. God bless you and your family Ms. Becky.
I know I was told but can’t remember which state you live in but I’m happy you have spring there! Here in Northern California it’s another rainy day but I’m not complaining. The drought is finally over. All though some folks have been forced to evacuate due to flooding, I’m still grateful for the rain. Thank you for this video! I’ll be trying it! And thank you for God’s Word in your videos! God Bless you & yours!
This is by far the BEST cleaner I've ever used. Cleaned grime off my oven that's been there for years other cleaners wouldn't touch, not even steam. THANK YOU!!!
2 tips I would like to add in addition. A single edge razor blade on your glass top stove if it is heavy with baked on grease. I did not damage mine. And I used to put ammonia in my steam cleaner for carpets. Amazing how well that cleans. Great tips. Going to mix some of this up and mark my bottle too. Thank you Becky.
I used to clean apartments after people moved out. The boss had us use ammonia on the floors with a scrub brush. I can't get on my hands and knees and scrub floors anymore, but that ammonia worked great! We used a single edge razor for scrapping off built up soap scum before we used a cleaner on it. I've used recipes like Becky's and they clean very well. A DIL bought my some of that Jaws cleaners and just started using that lately.
Thank you Becky. Just what I've been looking for! SPECIAL TIP: Forget Draino & Liquid Plumber! For clogged toilets and sinks, Run very hot water into the toilet or sink, add 1/2 cup dawn and more hot water. Let sit for at least 1 or 2 hours. Use a plunger a few time if necessary, Presto, clog is gone. Saved hundreds of dollars on plumbers bill this way. graino
Thank you Becky , I have tried white vinegar and baking soda to clean my oven. Did a good job . To kill weeds in my yard 1 gal. vinegar 2 cups Epsom salt 1/4 cup dawn dish soap will not kill you grass or hurt your flowers . Thank you for sharing
Here’s a few hints to help save money for everyone I use 20 mule team borax on a lot of things, I sprinkle it on my carport floor throw a bucket of hot water and scrub with an old push broom, it gets all the red mud off and the concrete looks new. I use it in my laundry, especially hubby’s work clothes, you can make a paste with it and dish soap for stains, I keep old toothbrushes to scrub clothes, around the edge of my sinks and any other little crevices a cleaning rag won’t get to. I like the persil laundry detergent, but, I dilute it with at least half warm water. It works just as well and I only use about a tablespoon in the wash.I haven’t bought laundry detergent since 2020. I also dilute my dish soap with half water and pour it in a little squirt bottle from dollar tree, it works just as well as full strength. I clean my washing machine with white vinegar, I just pour it in the detergent dispenser and run a cycle of hot water. I quit using dryer sheets about 15 years ago because I kept noticing build up on the lint screen, I’ve been using the wool dryer balls. That’s a lot less chemicals on our clothes. You can put a few drops of essential oils on the dryer balls if you want a nice scent. I use lavender oil. A bar of zote soap is also good for clothing stains, just wet the stain and scrub the bar of soap on it. Thank you Becky! God bless you!
Amen Spring is here. My grandma during each washing her dishes would would add Clorox to sink water and bleached her dish cloth. My gas stove is black. On top it streaks. Will try this.
Thank you, Becky. I've been looking at more natural multipurpose cleaners and I just wasn't sure I wanted to buy them after looking at the ingredients and the fragrances, so this is perfect. Especially for someone who is hyper sensitive to chlorine. I can't use bleach or cleaning products with bleach in them. Thanks again! Time to get deep cleaning inside while the weather is still rainy and snowy before the sun comes out and we want to be outside. 😊❤🌞
1/2 baking soda + 1/2 borax is excellent for roasting pans coated in meat or poultry grease. I tried it after roasting a turkey. I just sprinkled it all over the mess. Then, it was easy to wipe away with a paper towel, or two.
I usually just use White Vinegar for everything. Although, for my sink drains, I use one part baking soda, one part salt, and pour vinegar on top. Let it sit about 15 minutes, rinse with water. It works really good for drains. Occasionally I'll add vinegar in my wash. Especially when washing clothes from storage. Makes them smell nice and fresh.
I don't normally comment but bless my britches! Watched you, mixed up the cleaner and got to work. I can't afford expensive cleaners and this is perfect. My glass stove top is clean as a whistle. Gotta admit I was skeptical. There were a few areas that I just couldn't scrub off and after 3 x of spray, it came off. I crochet my own scrubbies from cheap acrylic yarn and used them with the cleaner. Also scrubbed a Reverware tea kettle I couldn't get cleaned and it is shining now 😊 Thank you so much for this.
Cherokee Dancer: crochet your scrubbies out of nylon netting: just cut it in 1/4 inch strips to make 'yarn'..cheap quarter yard at Walmart or with coupon at HobbyLobby. Leave fabric folded& use your rotary cutter to cut long strands. Taught one of my favorite patients at nursing home & she was able to make tons & sold for extra spending money. They never wear out & toss in dishwasher once a week to clean.
Cheap is my middle name. This video is GOLD. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge, hints, and secrets. Also, YOUR RECIEPES ARE TOPS! Love your channel!!
Thank you for your kind spirit and willingness to truly be a "help" for people. That's what Christians should do...in every way possible. As always, your video was very informative, and uplifting. Blessings to you and yours!
11:37 Becky, there aren’t words to express my thrill for finding you. Thank you for all your hints especially this cleaner. I have been looking for a cheap cleaner that would work and you did it.❤😅 I 😊😂
I make my own window cleaner. Here’s the recipe for a 32 oz bottle. 1/8 cup (1 oz) soapy ammonia 1/2 cup (4 oz) rubbing alcohol 3 1/3 cups water I spay a little on my paper towel and wipe the window. It works great. Thanks Becky
My county extension office has pages of cleaners, laundry soap, too many to mention. I highly recommend every one to go to their county extension office to gat one or ask the clerk to send them to your email. You won't regret it. Best wishes to everyone and I every one does this!
When my husband died 16 years ago I needed to make serious budget cuts. I stopped buying store bought cleaners and started making homemade. I think the first one was similar to yours. And I now have a note book with 20+ cleaners. I’m adding this to my notebook. TFS You know I love your channel and you❤
I trust you more than anyone, I feel that that while you may and probably will make a mistake, your mistakes are honest. God bless, and keep helping the rest of us with your common sense logic.
I clean my oven and microwave with lemon juice. I pour some in a small bowl, like a custard cup, heat it up, and then let it sit in there with the door closed long enough for the steam to cover the walls (so obviously longer in an oven than in a microwave 😊). Then I just wipe it out with a warm damp clothe. I don’t clean my oven very often, so it gets in pretty bad shape, but I haven’t had to do much scrubbing on it at all when I use this method. It makes the house smell nice, and there are no toxic fumes from commercial cleaners. Not to mention a little cup of lemon juice is a LOT cheaper! You can also use actual lemons just by cutting them in half and heating them cut side up.
I just use a few drops of Pinsol, water, vinegar.....works great on everything. Sometimes I had a few drops of bleach to this mixture formy mopping. I am going to add lemon juice to my formulas....thanks
Thank you for Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. I’m going to memorize it and meditate on this psalm! Loved the cleaning tips but this psalm was my big take away!
I just wrote this verse on sign above my cleaning cart in closet so I will remember & be inspired every time I approach to commence my cleaning chores.
Thank you for showing us your formula for cleaner. I use something very similar and save my money during the pandemic. I use bleach, Dawn and water. It cleans my counters, stove and most areas of my home. I use baking soda for the tough areas of the house.
Thank you very much. I love these cleaners. We usually have all these products. Our baking soda can be put in an empty little spice shaker. It has to be washed out clean and dried then it doesn't waste any and we won't use to much . Good suggestions for music or sometimes sermons from great pastors. I even like Billy Graham thanks to grandma introducing this guy to me when I was a child. Blessings to you and your family always.
I keep baking soda in a recycled(washed&dried) parmesan cheese container. The recloseable lid has perfect sized sprinkling holes. BTW the lid fits on Mason jars for other larger particle-sized sprinkle spices.
I can not think you enough for this soap recipe ! I love that it is non toxic and it works! YOU have changed my cleaning life for my family! Bless you!!!❤
I've been cleaning houses for 32 years and i didn't get the memo until i was in my 30's that all the above + alcohol works like a charm. Love it! Thanks for sharing 😊
Great weather for living in our car come June. No place to live. We pray everyday. Anyone live near CT, MA, that knows of a 1 bdrm apt for my husband & I? Please... God works in mysterious ways! 🙏🙏 Praise the Lord!
I've done an use this for many yrs now. It's fablous and so much healthier an eco friendly. If tougher stuff? Baking soda or salt will fix it up. Thank you for sharing this. BLESS🙏🌻
I got this idea from another you tuber. It works great for shining, disinfecting and cleaning. I don't have exact measurements. I start with a spray bottle: about 2 tbsps of dawn or off brand version, 1/3 bottle of rubbing alcohol (or less to preference of strength) and remainder water. The soap isn't sudsy but cleans and the rubbing alcohol creates a nice shine and feeling of any lingering germs being removed.
Hello from Ohio! Spring is taking it's time warming up. Blessings coming your way. Thank you for your tips on cleaning items. ❤❤ We listen to scripture every morning to get the day started. ✝️✝️✝️
God BLESS you, Miss Becky!! I always have such a terrible, awful time scrubbing out my tub & shower. We have hard water here, which makes things worse. I’m totally going to make this all-purpose cleaner. Thank you!!
Hello , to wash the glass doors of the shower its best to mix 80% vinegar and 20% liquid soap , I made this recipe myself as others didn't help , it leaves the glass shiny and clean use a microfleece cloth and wash with circular movements , make sure it is all covered and leave it for about 30 min ,it depends how dirty it is , then rinse .
@@MIGHTYRIVERS19 You should be able to keep hard scale off your showers thereafter with a 50/50 mix of Dawn dish detergent and hot vinegar (it doesn't have to stay hot, but should be hot when mixed with the Dawn). Simply wipe a small amount of the mixture on your shower and tub walls and leave it on. Next time you shower, simply reapeat the process.
Thank you for posting! :) If I need to do alot of cleaning I listen to KLOVE radio and I sing alot while I get the jobs done and feel happy at the same time! :)
Thank you. I always rather use non toxic cleaners when I can. Since Covid began, I have been using white vinegar to wash my vegetables and lemon juice to wash fruit. I read that the acid both the vinegar and lemon juice will kill the bacteria.
I made this cleaner, and mixed a variation of the recipe for mopping, my Kitchen floor sparkles thank you. I added peppermint oil to the mop water smells great too. I used the spray for the tuff spots to pre treat.
Love your formula. Works like a charm. I make a gallon at a time. I live off-grid and I'm cleaning all the time. Thank you for taking the time to post. God Bless.
I've been using this vinegar/dawn solution for years. I didn't know you could add lemon juice too. Outside I also use it to kill weeds around the house. Do it on a sunny day and the weeds are brown before evening. safer than using roundup close by.
I've tried it on poison ivy and it doesn't work. At least MY poison ivy...😂😂. It does work well on other weeds tho. Now I'm going to try it for cleaning. Thanks all of you for the ideas. Blessings.
Thank you and God Bless you 👆 💖🙏 I use alot of vinegar and water 💧 I have a recipe for cleaning a microwave take some lemon juice and put in a microwave safe bowl put the microwave on high 3 to four minutes you will be able wipe clean Microwave paper towel and if you don't get all first time put bowl with lemon juice back in microwave for a couple more minutes . Really works great I have been using it for years lemon juice is amazing cleaner you don't need to use alot of lemon juice just a small amount in a small bowl put in microwave .
It’s not quite spring where I live but I’m mixing this up so I have it when the sun comes out and it warms up. I’ll use it on my kitchen mess while I wait for that day. When I worked out at the wellness center this morning I listened to the audio NASB Bible and what a great way to start the day. You be blessed! 🤗
I've used this cleaner since the day you posted this video! Just came back to tell you that I love it and thank you!! I used to pay $10/bottle for nontoxic cleaners...what a savings now and this works so much better!!
I've always use vinegar to clean with. If you have an extra dirty load in the washer as benigar to the rinse cycle you can also add vinegar to your dishes
I'm so glad I found this video today. I was just about to buy some oven cleaner, but I just hate the smell. For a cheap disinfectant, I take a spray bottle and pour in 1 and a half cups water, 1/2 cup alcohol, 1/2 tsp. Dawn. Give it a little shake, spray, and wipe away germs. It also cuts grease and makes things clean and shiny. Very cheap too.
😊 I use them too. And lately I've been using them to wipe out grease before I wash my pans. So that the grease goes in the trash not down the plumbing. 👍🫂
This is a great cleaner! I have been using this exact recipe for years and it works! Thank you for sharing! I would add one note- don't use on natural stone. A natural cleaner for stone is 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol, 3/4 cup water, 1 small squeeze of Dawn dish soap, and 5-8 drops of tea tree essential oil ( or your favorite)
This is really good , thank you . I make my own recipe for cleaning #Shower #GLASS #DOOR , after trying expensive products which didn't work I found that the best is vinegar , some liquid soap , mix and just cover the glass door with circular movements , leave it for about 30 Min , rinse with water and cloth , if its still water stained repeat , it works for me very well. Put in a bowl enough vinegar to wash your door , depends on the door or doors , should be 80% vinegar and 20% liquid soap , mix well and its ready.
Just a reminder--NEVER mix ammonia & bleach. I put ice cubes and baking soda in the garbage disposal to clean & freshen it. I like to cut up worn out soft flannel PJ's for cleaning cloths. Brush your teeth with baking soda--it cleans them really well and freshens your breath. One of our thrift stores uses grease pencils for pricing--I use vegetable oil to get it off non-porous surfaces (not books or paper labels).
Hello , please stop using the baking soda it damages the kidney , this lady is very ill after using baking soda to wash her teeth,you can google it , was all over the news here , best wishes
I believe that there are some surfaces that you should not use vinegar on. Not sure exactly what all that includes but I believe certian counter top material in kitchens and bathrooms are one example. I would be very careful and not assume it can be used on any surface.
Thank you, Becky, 😊 Don't know what I would do without your tips and recipes. God has blessed me with your videos and your fellowship. You look absolutely beautiful. You're shining ✨️ 💛 💖 Victoria from Texas.
You forgot to mention how fantastic it smells!!!! Have used that same mixture for decades!!! Don't just clean the outside of your camper/rv with it, clean the inside too. Great for cleaning rvs in protected areas and state parks, no harsh chemicals. Made this stuff when I was a youngun, except we used joy dish soap back then. Years ago I rented a place where you just couldn't turn your head for a few seconds before mold would start coming up in the shower. Sprayed this stuff on it every time I got out of the shower, no problems, no constant scrubbing. Used this stuff and a loofah sponge on that shower once a week, in addition to just giving it a spray after use and it never came back while I lived there. Every time I moved to a new place, I'd add a some bleach to the mix to clean the entire house before moving in, just couldn't stand the thought of other folks' germs all over the place. This is what the old folks mostly used, and they knew what they were doing.
Bleach is not very healthy to use. Try using with a couple drops of dawn, in a spray bottle filled 2/3rds with warm water, fill the remainder with hydrogen peroxide, and spray. It will kill bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Hard to clean the skillet. I rinse w hot water and sprinkle w baking soda and drizzle a bit of dawn and leave while I clean the stove. It helps me to scrub a lot less. Thanks for the scripture I need the reminder 🙏 😊
FYI: if you have granite countertops, vinegar is not recommended for cleaning purposes as it can break down the sealant on the stone. Best to stick to soapy water for that one.
1/2:cup rubbing alcohol,2 gal warm water 3 drops dawn in a bucket for windows. I clean for a living( 30 yrs). This is BEST😀😁
Yes it is! I actually use a combination very similar to Ms Becky’s, except for glass and mirrors I sub in rubbing alcohol for the lemon juice. I also add several drops of favorite pure essential oils, like mint, tea tree, and orange.

Spray out with a little vinegar before you wipe it off it really helps on the oven

2 tips I would like to add in addition. A single edge razor blade on your glass top stove if it is heavy with baked on grease. I did not damage mine. And I used to put ammonia in my steam cleaner for carpets. Amazing how well that cleans. Great tips. Going to mix some of this up and mark my bottle too. Thank you Becky.
I used to clean apartments after people moved out. The boss had us use ammonia on the floors with a scrub brush. I can't get on my hands and knees and scrub floors anymore, but that ammonia worked great! We used a single edge razor for scrapping off built up soap scum before we used a cleaner on it. I've used recipes like Becky's and they clean very well. A DIL bought my some of that Jaws cleaners and just started using that lately.
I would add a caution to using vinegar in a steam cleaner. I did that and ruined mine because the repairman said it dried up the rubber sealing rings.
Thank you Becky. Just what I've been looking for! SPECIAL TIP: Forget Draino & Liquid Plumber! For clogged toilets and sinks, Run very hot water into the toilet or sink, add 1/2 cup dawn and more hot water. Let sit for at least 1 or 2 hours. Use a plunger a few time if necessary, Presto, clog is gone. Saved hundreds of dollars on plumbers bill this way.

Thank you Becky , I have tried white vinegar and baking soda to clean my oven. Did a good job . To kill weeds in my yard 1 gal. vinegar 2 cups Epsom salt 1/4 cup dawn dish soap will not kill you grass or hurt your flowers . Thank you for sharing
Josie,
Does you formula work with both white distilled vinegar and cleaning vinegar?
Here’s a few hints to help save money for everyone
I use 20 mule team borax on a lot of things, I sprinkle it on my carport floor throw a bucket of hot water and scrub with an old push broom, it gets all the red mud off and the concrete looks new. I use it in my laundry, especially hubby’s work clothes, you can make a paste with it and dish soap for stains, I keep old toothbrushes to scrub clothes, around the edge of my sinks and any other little crevices a cleaning rag won’t get to.
I like the persil laundry detergent, but, I dilute it with at least half warm water. It works just as well and I only use about a tablespoon in the wash.I haven’t bought laundry detergent since 2020.
I also dilute my dish soap with half water and pour it in a little squirt bottle from dollar tree, it works just as well as full strength.
I clean my washing machine with white vinegar, I just pour it in the detergent dispenser and run a cycle of hot water.
I quit using dryer sheets about 15 years ago because I kept noticing build up on the lint screen, I’ve been using the wool dryer balls. That’s a lot less chemicals on our clothes. You can put a few drops of essential oils on the dryer balls if you want a nice scent. I use lavender oil.
A bar of zote soap is also good for clothing stains, just wet the stain and scrub the bar of soap on it.
Thank you Becky!
God bless you!
God bless you ! Love your channel... so refreshing to hear God's name lifted up and great money saving practical tips on cleaning, cooking , etc.
Amen Spring is here.
My grandma during each washing her dishes would would add Clorox to sink water and bleached her dish cloth.
My gas stove is black. On top it streaks. Will try this.
Thank you, Becky. I've been looking at more natural multipurpose cleaners and I just wasn't sure I wanted to buy them after looking at the ingredients and the fragrances, so this is perfect. Especially for someone who is hyper sensitive to chlorine. I can't use bleach or cleaning products with bleach in them. Thanks again! Time to get deep cleaning inside while the weather is still rainy and snowy before the sun comes out and we want to be outside. 😊❤🌞
I can't use bleach either. So allergic. This is just what I need!
Thank you Becky,asthma and bleach dont make a good combination. I'm going to do this
1/2 baking soda + 1/2 borax is excellent for roasting pans coated in meat or poultry grease. I tried it after roasting a turkey. I just sprinkled it all over the mess. Then, it was easy to wipe away with a paper towel, or two.
I usually just use White Vinegar for everything. Although, for my sink drains, I use one part baking soda, one part salt, and pour vinegar on top. Let it sit about 15 minutes, rinse with water. It works really good for drains. Occasionally I'll add vinegar in my wash. Especially when washing clothes from storage. Makes them smell nice and fresh.
Best ingredients ever! Put God First ❤✝️🌎🌍🌏
I've used this cleaner for years. It really works. Brenda, I love your channel. God bless you.
I don't normally comment but bless my britches! Watched you, mixed up the cleaner and got to work. I can't afford expensive cleaners and this is perfect.
My glass stove top is clean as a whistle. Gotta admit I was skeptical. There were a few areas that I just couldn't scrub off and after 3 x of spray, it came off.
I crochet my own scrubbies from cheap acrylic yarn and used them with the cleaner.
Also scrubbed a Reverware tea kettle I couldn't get cleaned and it is shining now 😊
Thank you so much for this.
Cherokee Dancer: crochet your scrubbies out of nylon netting: just cut it in 1/4 inch strips to make 'yarn'..cheap quarter yard at Walmart or with coupon at HobbyLobby. Leave fabric folded& use your rotary cutter to cut long strands. Taught one of my favorite patients at nursing home & she was able to make tons & sold for extra spending money. They never wear out & toss in dishwasher once a week to clean.
@Rebecca Mullenix I have made those as well 😊
Didn't know about the dishwasher trick so I'll be doing that one.
Thanks
I had lost my perfect combination for this, Becky! Thank you so much for sharing. God bless.🙏
Cheap is my middle name. This video is GOLD. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge, hints, and secrets. Also, YOUR RECIEPES ARE TOPS! Love your channel!!
Thank you for your kind spirit and willingness to truly be a "help" for people. That's what Christians should do...in every way possible. As always, your video was very informative, and uplifting. Blessings to you and yours!
I use white vinegar for my dishwasher rinse instead of expensive products. It works great!
11:37 Becky, there aren’t words to express my thrill for finding you. Thank you for all your hints especially this cleaner. I have been looking for a cheap cleaner that would work and you did it.❤😅 I 😊😂
I make my own window cleaner. Here’s the recipe for a 32 oz bottle. 1/8 cup (1 oz) soapy ammonia
1/2 cup (4 oz) rubbing alcohol
3 1/3 cups water
I spay a little on my paper towel and wipe the window. It works great. Thanks Becky
Of course, my favorite cleaner is the professional team that comes every two weeks. 😉🙃
My county extension office has pages of cleaners, laundry soap, too many to mention. I highly recommend every one to go to their county extension office to gat one or ask the clerk to send them to your email. You won't regret it. Best wishes to everyone and I every one does this!
When my husband died 16 years ago I needed to make serious budget cuts. I stopped buying store bought cleaners and started making homemade. I think the first one was similar to yours. And I now have a note book with 20+ cleaners. I’m adding this to my notebook. TFS
You know I love your channel and you❤
Oh please share some from your collection ! 🌷
I trust you more than anyone, I feel that that while you may and probably will make a mistake, your mistakes are honest. God bless, and keep helping the rest of us with your common sense logic.
I clean my oven and microwave with lemon juice. I pour some in a small bowl, like a custard cup, heat it up, and then let it sit in there with the door closed long enough for the steam to cover the walls (so obviously longer in an oven than in a microwave 😊). Then I just wipe it out with a warm damp clothe. I don’t clean my oven very often, so it gets in pretty bad shape, but I haven’t had to do much scrubbing on it at all when I use this method. It makes the house smell nice, and there are no toxic fumes from commercial cleaners. Not to mention a little cup of lemon juice is a LOT cheaper! You can also use actual lemons just by cutting them in half and heating them cut side up.
I just use a few drops of Pinsol, water, vinegar.....works great on everything. Sometimes I had a few drops of bleach to this mixture formy mopping. I am going to add lemon juice to my formulas....thanks
I use a 1/2 cup of vinegar in the rinse cycle in my washer. It's softens just as well as fabric softener and kills mold/fungus.
Great idea! I've used lemons cut in half and sprinkle some baking soda down then scrub with the lemon half. God bless!🌷
I have washed clothes in deluded dawn 2 parts water to one part dawn soap. That has saved me a lot over the last 4 months it works wonderful.
Thank you for Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. I’m going to memorize it and meditate on this psalm! Loved the cleaning tips but this psalm was my big take away!
I just wrote this verse on sign above my cleaning cart in closet so I will remember & be inspired every time I approach to commence my cleaning chores.
@@rebellajm Amen! Have a great day!
@@adelevotta4840 You as well!
Thank you for showing us your formula for cleaner. I use something very similar and save my money during the pandemic. I use bleach, Dawn and water. It cleans my counters, stove and most areas of my home. I use baking soda for the tough areas of the house.
❤so sweet you are!!! I read Psalms 91 and Psalms 23 every day, thank you for being the youu God created you to be!
Thank you very much. I love these cleaners. We usually have all these products. Our baking soda can be put in an empty little spice shaker. It has to be washed out clean and dried then it doesn't waste any and we won't use to much .
Good suggestions for music or sometimes sermons from great pastors. I even like Billy Graham thanks to grandma introducing this guy to me when I was a child. Blessings to you and your family always.
I keep baking soda in a recycled(washed&dried) parmesan cheese container. The recloseable lid has perfect sized sprinkling holes. BTW the lid fits on Mason jars for other larger particle-sized sprinkle spices.
I can not think you enough for this soap recipe ! I love that it is non toxic and it works! YOU have changed my cleaning life for my family! Bless you!!!❤
I've been cleaning houses for 32 years and i didn't get the memo until i was in my 30's that all the above + alcohol works like a charm. Love it! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank You, So Much! Anything HELPS! Better for our lungs and environment!
Great weather for living in our car come June. No place to live. We pray everyday. Anyone live near CT, MA, that knows of a 1 bdrm apt for my husband & I? Please... God works in mysterious ways! 🙏🙏 Praise the Lord!
Happy Spring 🌼🌱🌹🌷🌸🌼
I've done an use this for many yrs now. It's fablous and so much healthier an eco friendly. If tougher stuff? Baking soda or salt will fix it up. Thank you for sharing this. BLESS🙏🌻
I was wondering what to mix for all purpose cleaner. Thank you.
Peroxide will help disinfect certain surfaces. Great scripture.
I got this idea from another you tuber. It works great for shining, disinfecting and cleaning. I don't have exact measurements. I start with a spray bottle: about 2 tbsps of dawn or off brand version, 1/3 bottle of rubbing alcohol (or less to preference of strength) and remainder water. The soap isn't sudsy but cleans and the rubbing alcohol creates a nice shine and feeling of any lingering germs being removed.
Love how your sowing the seeds of God's living word,bless you 😊
Hello from Ohio! Spring is taking it's time warming up. Blessings coming your way. Thank you for your tips on cleaning items. ❤❤ We listen to scripture every morning to get the day started. ✝️✝️✝️
God BLESS you, Miss Becky!! I always have such a terrible, awful time scrubbing out my tub & shower. We have hard water here, which makes things worse. I’m totally going to make this all-purpose cleaner. Thank you!!
The acid vinegar and lemon mix should get rid of the lime scale.
Hello , to wash the glass doors of the shower its best to mix 80% vinegar and 20% liquid soap , I made this recipe myself as others didn't help , it leaves the glass shiny and clean use a microfleece cloth and wash with circular movements , make sure it is all covered and leave it for about 30 min ,it depends how dirty it is , then rinse .
@@MIGHTYRIVERS19 You should be able to keep hard scale off your showers thereafter with a 50/50 mix of Dawn dish detergent and hot vinegar (it doesn't have to stay hot, but should be hot when mixed with the Dawn). Simply wipe a small amount of the mixture on your shower and tub walls and leave it on. Next time you shower, simply reapeat the process.
Thank you Becky! I’m always looking for homemade and safe cleaning products! 🙏💕
Thank you for posting! :) If I need to do alot of cleaning I listen to KLOVE radio and I sing alot while I get the jobs done and feel happy at the same time! :)
Thank you. I always rather use non toxic cleaners when I can. Since Covid began, I have been using white vinegar to wash my vegetables and lemon juice to wash fruit. I read that the acid both the vinegar and lemon juice will kill the bacteria.
Thank you Miss Becky, you’re anointed! 😇
I made this cleaner, and mixed a variation of the recipe for mopping, my Kitchen floor sparkles thank you. I added peppermint oil to the mop water smells great too. I used the spray for the tuff spots to pre treat.
Love your formula. Works like a charm. I make a gallon at a time. I live off-grid and I'm cleaning all the time. Thank you for taking the time to post. God Bless.
I've been using this vinegar/dawn solution for years. I didn't know you could add lemon juice too. Outside I also use it to kill weeds around the house. Do it on a sunny day and the weeds are brown before evening. safer than using roundup close by.
I've tried it on poison ivy and it doesn't work. At least MY poison ivy...😂😂. It does work well on other weeds tho. Now I'm going to try it for cleaning. Thanks all of you for the ideas. Blessings.
So many times it's just a blessing to hear another woman of faith talk about real life. Thank you so much and God bless you and your family.
citrus peelings and white vinegar is good to use up the entire fruit and clean grease and dishes.
Thank you and God Bless you 👆 💖🙏 I use alot of vinegar and water 💧 I have a recipe for cleaning a microwave take some lemon juice and put in a microwave safe bowl put the microwave on high 3 to four minutes you will be able wipe clean Microwave paper towel and if you don't get all first time put bowl with lemon juice back in microwave for a couple more minutes . Really works great I have been using it for years lemon juice is amazing cleaner you don't need to use alot of lemon juice just a small amount in a small bowl put in microwave .
It’s not quite spring where I live but I’m mixing this up so I have it when the sun comes out and it warms up. I’ll use it on my kitchen mess while I wait for that day. When I worked out at the wellness center this morning I listened to the audio NASB Bible and what a great way to start the day. You be blessed! 🤗
I use the same ingredients except for the Lemon. It still works good but I will add the lemon to see if it works better than my ingredients.
I've used this cleaner since the day you posted this video! Just came back to tell you that I love it and thank you!! I used to pay $10/bottle for nontoxic cleaners...what a savings now and this works so much better!!
Thank you for the cleaner recipe! I was just wondering how I was going to clean up the oven spills, without using toxic chemicals. ❤
A neutralizer like this is so important an part of our cleaning arsenal. Thank you for sharing with us. 🇺🇸
Bless you 😊
Thank you so much Becky! God bless you.
I've always use vinegar to clean with. If you have an extra dirty load in the washer as benigar to the rinse cycle you can also add vinegar to your dishes
I'm so glad I found this video today. I was just about to buy some oven cleaner, but I just hate the smell.
For a cheap disinfectant, I take a spray bottle and pour in 1 and a half cups water, 1/2 cup alcohol, 1/2 tsp. Dawn. Give it a little shake, spray, and wipe away germs. It also cuts grease and makes things clean and shiny. Very cheap too.
Ms. Becky that scripture you quoted is Psalm 51:10. Love your channel and the glory you give to God. 😊❤
Newspaper and magazine papers work wonders for cleaning windows instead of wasting paper towels or worrying about lint from cleaning rags.
😊 I use them too. And lately I've been using them to wipe out grease before I wash my pans. So that the grease goes in the trash not down the plumbing. 👍🫂
Thank you! This works great on the calcium deposits on my stainless sink fixtures!
Thank you so much, always wanted to know how to make this, and did not know the proportions! Amen, put Jesus, FIRST in everything!
This is a great cleaner! I have been using this exact recipe for years and it works! Thank you for sharing!
I would add one note- don't use on natural stone. A natural cleaner for stone is 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol, 3/4 cup water, 1 small squeeze of Dawn dish soap, and 5-8 drops of tea tree essential oil ( or your favorite)
This is really good , thank you . I make my own recipe for cleaning #Shower #GLASS #DOOR , after trying expensive products which didn't work I found that the best is vinegar , some liquid soap , mix and just cover the glass door with circular movements , leave it for about 30 Min , rinse with water and cloth , if its still water stained repeat , it works for me very well. Put in a bowl enough vinegar to wash your door , depends on the door or doors , should be 80% vinegar and 20% liquid soap , mix well and its ready.
Love these types of cost effective helpful living tips. Thank you.
Just a reminder--NEVER mix ammonia & bleach. I put ice cubes and baking soda in the garbage disposal to clean & freshen it. I like to cut up worn out soft flannel PJ's for cleaning cloths. Brush your teeth with baking soda--it cleans them really well and freshens your breath. One of our thrift stores uses grease pencils for pricing--I use vegetable oil to get it off non-porous surfaces (not books or paper labels).
Hello , please stop using the baking soda it damages the kidney , this lady is very ill after using baking soda to wash her teeth,you can google it , was all over the news here , best wishes
Be careful using baking soda on your teeth. It can ware down the enamel.
I use about a half cup of a cheap shampoo in a spray bottle of water (mix well) to clean my bathroom sink. Works well.
I believe that there are some surfaces that you should not use vinegar on. Not sure exactly what all that includes but I believe certian counter top material in kitchens and bathrooms are one example. I would be very careful and not assume it can be used on any surface.
Can’t use on marble
Becky thank you so much for sharing this. I am going to make some of it. Bless you heart you are so sweet. I hope you have a blessed weekend.
Thank you, Becky, 😊
Don't know what I would do without your tips and recipes. God has blessed me with your videos and your fellowship.
You look absolutely beautiful. You're shining ✨️ 💛 💖
Victoria from Texas.
Most supermarkets cleaning stuff is full of dangerous chemicals. This lady is absolutely right & a bit of elbow work job done 😊
I always wash my dishes with Dawn and a splurge of bleach especially during flu and cold season
My mom always did that
You forgot to mention how fantastic it smells!!!!
Have used that same mixture for decades!!!
Don't just clean the outside of your camper/rv with it, clean the inside too.
Great for cleaning rvs in protected areas and state parks, no harsh chemicals.
Made this stuff when I was a youngun, except we used joy dish soap back then.
Years ago I rented a place where you just couldn't turn your head for a few seconds before mold would start coming up in the shower.
Sprayed this stuff on it every time I got out of the shower, no problems, no constant scrubbing.
Used this stuff and a loofah sponge on that shower once a week, in addition to just giving it a spray after use and it never came back while I lived there.
Every time I moved to a new place, I'd add a some bleach to the mix to clean the entire house before moving in, just couldn't stand the thought of other folks' germs all over the place.
This is what the old folks mostly used, and they knew what they were doing.
Bleach is not very healthy to use. Try using with a couple drops of dawn, in a spray bottle filled 2/3rds with warm water, fill the remainder with hydrogen peroxide, and spray. It will kill bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Hard to clean the skillet. I rinse w hot water and sprinkle w baking soda and drizzle a bit of dawn and leave while I clean the stove. It helps me to scrub a lot less. Thanks for the scripture I need the reminder 🙏 😊
I’m going to try this with baking soda on the bottom of my cast iron skillet my mom passed down to me. I’ve had it for 30 years!
Becky you showed a much easier way to measure the ingredients into a spray bottle than what I was thinking of doing! 😆
FYI: if you have granite countertops, vinegar is not recommended for cleaning purposes as it can break down the sealant on the stone. Best to stick to soapy water for that one.
Thank you Becky glad to see again. Missed you. God bless you and your family 💝
