Homemade Cleaner and Disinfectant

   I use this cleaner for most of the household cleaning.  It does a great job with the everyday stuff. I have omitted the lemon juice a couple of times and it still cleaned very well. This homemade cleaner costs 14 cents for a 16 ounce spray bottle with the lemon juice and about 2 cents without.If I buy Formula 409 at Dollar General it is $2.00 and needs to be replaced weekly so I save $96.72   a year with lemon juice and $102.96 a year without lemon juice.


2 tsp borax
1 tsp washing soda
4 TBS lemon juice

In a pint spray bottle, combine ingredients. Add 2 cup very hot water and shake to dissolve. Store indefinitely.
