DIY Shower Cleaner
I am not a fan of my shower because I can see every single dirt spot on the glass; and it seemed no matter what I did it never got really clean. While browsing Pinterest one day I saw a pin about using a dish scrubber to clean and it works amazing! I use this scrubber each morning in the shower. For the first week, I did all the glass walls and now I just do a wall a day as a maintenance cleaning.The initial cost for this cleaner is less than $1.50 and can be refilled for pennies. I've seen the dish scrubber at the dollar store and the filler is simply a 1:1 ratio of dish soap and white vinegar.
DIY Foaming Soap
There is nothing special about foaming soap, just the pump that adds air as it pumps out. If you have an empty or almost empty foaming soap dispenser you can make your own refill using concentrated liquid soap and water. I have refilled this method container about 5 times and it is still going strong. For this concoction, add 1 Tablespoon to the soap container and fill the rest with water then shake to combine. I've been using Ballard Organics soap for my hand soap, unfortunately they went out of business in 2011 so I'm going to have to find a new company when this bottle is gone.
Have you tried any cleaning tips that you found via Pinterest? How did they work?
Sounds like a great way to clean! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI like the shower cleaner idea! That's awesome! And the pump hand soap...my little fella likes the pump foam soap a lot better than regular. we are hand washing freaks! ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree that the foaming soap is 100% more fun than normal soap!
DeleteGreat ideas!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am a frugal dad and I make up the foaming hand wash for us. I use hand soap for the bathrooms and Dawn dish washing detergent in the kitchen. I use about 1/4 cup of soap and then fill (almost to the top) the bottle with warm water. Works great!
I've tried the Dawn + Vinegar solution I saw on Pinterest. Dang: it smells so bad it just about tears your lungs out. I will try your version. Looks like a better solution.
The one I saw on Pinterest worked great, but the smell was really, really bad.
Good luck! Hope this recipe works well for you.
