Tub or Shower Cleaner

Vinegar
spray bottle
Master Mixes
Duggar Family Laundry Soap (this is the one I use)
Homemade Liquid Laundry Soap- Front or top load machine- best value
"Clorox" Cleaning Spray
1 Tablespoon Bleach
4 Cups Water
Spray Bottle
Put 1 tablespoon of bleach into an empty spray bottle, add 4 cups of water. Close spray bottle and shake so the contents are mixed. This mix is good for one week. Use like you would the Clorox cleaning spray.
Drain unclogger
So your sink is not draining the way you would like it to? Try this.
1/2 C White Vinegar
1/4 C Baking soda
Cover the drain and let the chemistry do its work. Follow by Boiling water.
Now, if this does not work, you may need to snake your drain, use a draino type product, or ask you husband to undo the plumbing and see what is stuck.
Heavy Duty Cleaner
1 Gallon hot water
1/4 C cloudy ammonia
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
If this still won't clean your problem, double the ammonia and baking soda but NOT THE WATER
Everyday Cleaner
2 Tablespoons Borax
1 teaspoon dish soap
4 C water
Mix and put into a spray bottle, labled Everyday Cleaner.
I use this for my counter tops, bathrooms etc.
