More Homemade Household Products

To go along with my new obsession of all things frugal and homemade, I am sharing my favorite recipes for a few more homemade household products.


Homemade Frebreze

For a 32 oz spray bottle

• 1/8 Cup of Your Favorite Fabric Softener
• 2 Tablespoons Baking Soda
• Hot Tap Water - To Fill the Bottle to the Top

Shake it up in your Spray Bottle and you're ready to go and fight those Stinky Dog Odors!
I found that Fake Febreze actually has a bit more "staying power" than regular Febreeze, too!






I was SO excited to find this next recipe (at Lady With the Red Rocker) for homemade dishwasher detergent, seeing as I had most of the ingredients already from making my own laundry soap.  And even more excited to realize that is works far better than the stuff I used to buy!!


Homemade Dishwasher Detergent

• 1 cup Borax
• 1 cup washing soda
• ½ cup *kosher salt (*I used regular table salt, and it worked just fine.)
• ½ cup citric acid (double this if you have hard water)

Mix everything together and store in a plastic container.  Use 1 Tbsp per load.  Use white vinegar in the rinse aid compartment of your dishwasher to help keep your dishes from getting spotty.
