Cleans Everything Cleaner (Even Grout!)

Description: This versatile cleaner is a powerhouse in household cleaning, capable of tackling laundry, dishes, bathrooms, and even grout without harsh chemicals. It’s a cost-effective solution that lasts long and costs less than $1 per batch.

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup Borax
  • 1/2 cup Washing Soda
  • 1/3 bar Fels Naptha soap

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mixture:

    • Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan.
  2. Add Ingredients:

    • Grate 1/3 bar of Fels Naptha soap into the boiling water. Add 1/2 cup of Borax and 1/2 cup of Washing Soda. Stir continuously until the soap is completely melted and the powders are dissolved.
  3. Achieve Desired Consistency:

    • Continue heating until the mixture reaches the consistency of honey. It should be smooth and without lumps.
  4. Gradually Add Water:

    • Add additional water, 2 cups at a time, while stirring constantly. Ensure the mixture remains smooth and does not separate.
  5. Thicken the Mixture:

    • Keep heating and stirring if the mixture starts to separate. It should thicken into a gel-like consistency as you add all the water.
  6. Cooling and Bottling:

    • Allow the mixture to cool. It will naturally thicken into a gel-like substance.
  7. Transfer to Bottles:

    • Using a funnel, pour the cleaner into squirt bottles. Ensure the bottles can handle thick liquids (similar to dish detergent bottles) as this cleaner does not foam.
  8. Usage Tips:

    • Use approximately 1/2 cup per load of laundry.
    • For dishes, use a squirt in the sink water.
    • In dishwashers, use in the pre-wash cycle only.
    • For cleaning grout, pour directly onto the grout lines, scrub lightly, and rinse thoroughly for sparkling clean grout without harsh chemicals.
  9. Storage:

    • Store the cleaner in a cool, dry place. It will remain effective for a long time.

This all-purpose cleaner is not only effective but also environmentally friendly and economical. It cleans deeply without leaving residues and rinses easily due to its low foam formulation. Enjoy a cleaner home with this simple and versatile homemade cleaning solution! 🌟
