I'm more interested in simplicity and limiting the number of different chemical cleaners I bring into the house.

It does work really well.

I have been using this combination in different combinations for some time now. It is well worth the time it takes to mix. I keep a spray bottle to use on Bond Cleaning Brisbane and sinks.

I mixed a weaker solution of 1 part heated vinegar to 4 parts hot water and added about 6 drops of Dawn for floors. I purchased a Libman Freedom spray mop and use it to spray a mist of this solution on the floors. The pad can be washed over and over again. This solution dries without residue. I mix the floor solution by the gallon. I keep a recycled milk jug full at all times.

I made a paste of Bon Ami and equal parts Dawn and vinegar to scrub the gas grill. We coated all the surfaces with the exception of the burner jets with the paste and let it sit for about an hour and then use End Of Lease Cleaners Brisbane a little elbow grease with a Doobie pad to scrub it off. It did a really good job and rinses off quickly.

I do agree with your thoughts.. Vinegar and other home made cleaning products does produce very cheap cleaning results and helps us in saving some serious money.. Very nice post inded

off of appliances. I used baby oil but it suggested mineral oil or baby oil. I took a Q-tip dipped in baby oil to get in hard to reach places on microwave vent over the stove. Worked like a charm. Then took a soapy ammonia solution to clean off the baby oil residue.
