A few good recipes for homemade products

Clogged Drain Remedy

1 cup salt
1 cup baking soda
1 cup vinegar

Mix, then pour down the drain. Follow with 2 quarts boiling water.

Color-Safe Bleach

This bleach is for delicate colors and synthetic fabrics. It reduces yellowing in silks and woolens.

2 cups hydrogen peroxide
14 cups water

Mix ingredients and store in a plastic one-gallon container. Soak items to be cleaned in this solution for 10 to 30 minutes.

Daily Shower Cleaner Spray

3 tablespoons liquid Jetdry (for dishwashers)
Water

Combine Jetdry and water in a spray bottle to fill the bottle. Spray shower walls after every shower.

Early Spring Insect Soap Spray

This suffocates early spring insects, especially on fruit trees.

1 gallon light-grade oil
1/2 gallon warm water
1 pound laundry soap

Dissolve soap in water. Add oil and mix well to emulsify. Dilute with 20 times more water before use. Apply the soap while the trees are still in a dormant, leafless state, covering the tree thoroughly with each spraying.
