Homemade Wipes

What do these things make??

Homemade "clorox" wipes.


You just cut the paper towels (Use good ones,like Bounty or Viva) in half with a serrated or electric knife. It is a little hard to do this part! Then mix about 1/2-3/4 cup Pine-sol with 2 1?2 cups water and pour over the top. Let sit for a few hours and remove the cardboard in the middle. Then start pulling from the middle like any other wipes. Use in the kitchen or bathroom or wherever for disinfecting wipes. I use Folger's coffee "cans" that are the perfect size. You could also use any plastic tupperware type container that is roughly the same size. Saves money and they are quick and easy!

Laundry Soap

I originally wrote this post a few weeks ago. I am linking it up with the laundry party over at The Masked Mommy. Thanks for stopping by my blog and go make some laundry soap!!


Since being pregnant I have craved the smell of bounce sheets! I have done this with every pregnancy. My Husband even came up with the idea to put a dryer sheet in my pillow case so it would smell good! I said it would be great if they bottled that smell. Well, I found a clean linen scent by Glade that smells a lot like it. I bought the Glade plug-ins and the air freshener. My house is going to smell like a laundromat :) Speaking of laundry.....

Want to make your own laundry soap? You just need 1 bar of this:





And 1 Cup of this:

And 1 cup of this:

Grate the bar of soap using a fine cheese grater or a food processor.

Mix bar of soap with the powders and put in a pretty jar ( inspired by Susie Harris).

Use 1 Tbs for regular wash or 2 Tbs for heavy soil.

Way cheaper than laundry soap and it smells and works great! The ingredients can be a little hard to find but most grocery stores have them. Wal-mart only carries the Borax not the soap or Wash Soda.

Look what I found!

I needed a washable cover to fit this...


And I found this....

I love my Swiffer Wet Jet. It is so convenient for the laminate flooring and tile we have in much of our house! I hate how much the little pads cost though! I have been looking for a washable cover that doesn't wrap around the head because that covers the little sprayer. After wasting $8 on one that didn't fit, I found this one by Method. I tried it on there and it seems to fit well. It adheres to the Velcro. It is slightly longer than the swiffer but that's ok. I can't wait to try it and see how it cleans....too bad I just did all the floors last night :)
