Jackie French's Green Cleaner

Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup baking soda
• 1 tablespoon good laundry detergent, such as cussons morning fresh (don't bother with any weak cheap stuff)
• 1 teaspoon of your favourite scented essential oil, such as rose or lavender oil (both are antibacterial and antifungal and smell delicious. but you can also use tea tree oil for a g)
• vinegar (don't use malt or balsamic vinegar, or you'll end up with some very interesting stains)

Recipe

• 1 fill atomizer with vinegar.
• 2 mix the baking soda, detergent and essential oil together.
• 3 add a little more detergent if the mixture doesn't stick together- it should look like the crumbs that are formed when you make shortbread.
• 4 now, take a bit of the lovely scented goo on a sponge, and wipe it on the dirty spot, then spray the spot with vinegar.
• 5 it will bubble as the acid vinegar hits the alkaline bicarb.
• 6 leave it alone for about five to ten minutes, then scrub it all in a bit and wipe it off.
• 7 you may need a container of water to dampen the sponge with, to get all the bubbly vinegar and bicarb mix away.
