Make it Yourself

I was recently read a Woman's Day magazine and came across a great make it yourself article that gave recipes for household cleaning products. There is such a hipe about chemicals in cleaners and going to natural products. How much more natural can you get if you make it yourself and while doing so you won't be paying the much high cost for the "natural" ones! List below is the recipe for glass cleaner and all purpose one, these came from the magazine. The also had one for laundry detergent but it sounded a bit complicated and had ingredients that I have never heard of so I won't know where to get them, but you can check it out on there online site woman'sday.com. I am low on glass cleaner so I will be mixing myself up a batch soon!
