Make your own:
Cleaner
2 teaspoons Dawn dishwashing liquid
1/4 cup borax
1/4 cup baking soda
1/2 cup white vinegar
hot water
Put the Dawn into a spray bottle, and add the borax. baking soda. Add the vinegar carefully; it will bubble (do it over the sink.) Fill the bottle the rest of the way with hot water and shake to dissolve the borax and baking soda. This is an excellent all-purpose cleaner. If you need more grease-cutting ability, increase the amount of Dawn; if you need more acidity, increase the vinegar. Omit the vinegar if you are cleaning ceramic tile counter tops.
