31 Days of MOO 2017 No. 4: Miracle Spray

This is the "go to" spray on, all-purpose cleaner that Cheapskaters just love. It's cheap to make, cleans the kitchen, bathroom and laundry and smells great, without being artificial.

​Two litres of Miracle Spray costs approximately $1.72, depending on where you buy your ingredients. 

I use Aldi white vinegar, dishwashing liquid and eucalyptus oil. The washing soda came from Coles.
Miracle Spray
Picture
Ingredients:
1.5 litre water (1 cup boiled)
300ml vinegar  
60ml dishwashing liquid  
25ml eucalyptus 
3 dessertspoons "Lectric" soda (washing soda) 

Method:
Mix washing soda with about 1 cup boiling water to dissolve, add remaining  ingredients, pour into a 2 litre bottle (I use the vinegar ones). That's it folks!!!

To Use:
This nearly fills the 2 litre bottle, then I decant (don't you just love that word) into spray bottles for benches and laundry, and refill old toilet cleaner bottles to squirt under the rim in the loo etc.  It's also good to spray on the floor on tough stains, you know the stuff you dropped when cooking that dried. I originally found the recipe from another site and just tweaked it a bit. I love it, as I try to minimise the use of chemicals around the house. With the collars and cuffs, try to spray and leave to soak for a few minutes works best I've found, so I spray as I sort, then do the whites second rather than first load to give the spray a chance to work.
