Today I feel like a DIY queen. I tackled some Pinterest.com projects that I have been itchin' to do. I put together this beautiful (though I am biased) photo frame.
Homemade fabric softener with bounce sheets, Homemade furniture polish. I am loving making my own cleaning supplies, I feel they are so much healthier for my family. A lot of my cleaning ideas and some other great ideas right now are coming from my favorite blog http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com you guys should check it out! That's where my fabric softner recipe comes from. I will share it with you. Jillee's calls for a much larger recipe and she used Rosemary Mint. You Choose whatever your favorite smelling hair conditioner is :)
Homemade Fabric Softner with "Bounce" Sheets
3 Cups Hot water
1.5 Cups Vinegar
1 Cup Hair Conditioner of your Choice
Mix it all together. Then for the bounce sheets I take "bar clothes" and cut them into 4's. Roll them up and put them in the mixture. Usually I just wring one out and throw it in the dryer. If I need that extra boost (like when an accident happens at nighttime and the bedding needs washed) I will pour about 1/8 Cup of the mixture straight into the washing machine.
Homemade Furniture Polish
1 Cup Vinegar
1 Cup Olive Oil
1 Lemon
Mix Vinegar and olive oil. Squeeze lemon, add juice to mixture. Remove peel from the lemon and throw it in the bottle too! Now I know some of you may be skeptical thinking it will mold - but there vinegar in there keeps it from doing so (I have had orange peels in my All purpose cleaner bottle for a month!
Shake well before each use!
Well I think that I am DIY-out for now!
