Homemade disinfectant spray

Cut up citrus fruit and place in container. (You can eat the fruit and leave the rinds.) Pour the vinegar over the rinds and leave for about 3 weeks. When you are ready to use, take out the rind, strain the juice and use. It's great for sanitizing, deodorizing, cutting grease and much more.  Citrus cuts the vinegar smell and gives a fresh scent.

A Tip from It's So Very Cheri: front-load washers require “special soap” for one reason alone – low suds. Because they use less water, they require soap that is less sudsy. The good news is, this homemade detergent is VERY low suds. The ”special” HE detergent is just another advertising mechanism to push consumers to buy “special soap” for unnecessarily high prices. Regardless of your washer type, you can make your own with confidence

Hope you enjoy these tips. - rejoicing in the present
