A cookie tray on the bottom rack of the oven helps to catch possible drips.
I mix some dawn soap , bleach , and water to spray down the shower each time , shampoo bottles, knobs etc . Rinse.
I have washed clothes in deluded dawn 2 parts water to one part dawn soap. That has saved me a lot over the last 4 months it works wonderful.
Not only did this make me want to start cleaning but a spiritual blessing added on how wonderful!!
Can you use dawn vinegar and water itās great for bugs especially ants š
Thank you so much, Becky. I do have one helpful hint. To clean windows with NO streaks, use a dollar tree mop with this cleaner to clean, then a squeegee to dry, drying the squeegee with a rag each time you swipe. Itās a game changer! I love it!
Makes me want to clean
DAWN contains āsulphurā
One of the best ways to clean the bottom of your oven- with burnt on food, place enough water to cover the bottom and add 2-3 dryer sheets. leave overnight, remove sheets, sponge out water and wipe with a no-scratch scrubber. Cleans mine every time. Sorry, since you can't soak the walls and oven ceiling, you can't use it there. This also works on baked on food in casserole dishes (with just one dryer sheet)
God bless you ! Love your channel… so refreshing to hear God's name lifted up and great money saving practical tips on cleaning, cooking , etc.
Free or renewable cleaning agents listed below, in addition to one that isn't free:
Bar Keeper's Friend isn't particularly cheap, but will work really well for set in stains, and you don't need a lot of it, so it lasts a long time. It polishes things really well. I find it works best when paired with a slightly damp washcloth.
I've heard that boiling rhubarb leaves in water makes a decent cleaner. Haven't tried it yet.
Soapwort (Saponaria officinalis, or Saponaria ocymoides) can be combined with hot water to produce a lather that will clean clothes and dishes, and people. The nice thing about soapwort is that you can grow it in your garden or harvest it in the wild. I find that it produces the best lather if harvested in the fall. And yes, dried soapwort will still produce a lather. Note that if you use it for whites, they will begin to take on the color of the soapwort, though.
Clematis leaves or flowers combined with water (cold or warm) work really well to get dirt off your hands after gardening. Rub a small handful of leaves vigorously all over your hands under running water.
Old T-shirts that are no longer wearable make great rags.
You can make a broom from some weed that grows wild in some areas. I believe it's called broom corn? It's broom something, anyway.
If you have a fireplace and burn hard wood, you can save your ashes to make your own lye. Allow the ashes to sit in water for about a week, or until a potato or egg floats enough that a quarter-sized amount is showing above the lye water. This is a different lye than store-bought, and will make a softer soap, but it will still make soap.
Simpler cleaning solution that a professional cleaner gave me:
Equal parts Dawn dish detergent and hot vinegar (yes, it has to be Dawn, and yes, the vinegar has to be heated up in the microwave).
Pre-measure the Dawn into a fairly large container so you have extra room to add the vinegar. Heat the vinegar to fairly hot in microwave. Pour into your pre-measured dawn and stir. Allow to cool. Pour into spray bottle of choice. Makes an excellent shower cleaner for most showers (may not work well on rust stains – I haven't had a chance to experiment with that). Also prevents shower build-up if you spray on your shower, and then wipe it down (do not rinse). Caution: fumes are nasty and can make you cough. Use in small amounts, and in a well-ventilated area.
Made some and used today and it works great. Thank you for your great video's.
A tip for cleaning floors: Pour Hydrogen Peroxide, Vinegar and Any brand dish soap (I use Dawn) in a gallon of water. No measurements needed but not a lot of dish soap don't want the floors sudsy. Sweep again after floor dries.
Guess, I'll have ta get to experimenting with some of these that you've shared. I'm kind of like the less I have to scrub kind of person. šThank you for sharing ā¤
I usually just use White Vinegar for everything. Although, for my sink drains, I use one part baking soda, one part salt, and pour vinegar on top. Let it sit about 15 minutes, rinse with water. It works really good for drains. Occasionally I'll add vinegar in my wash. Especially when washing clothes from storage. Makes them smell nice and fresh.
Just love your videos! Thank u ā¤ļø
Thank you!!! I have gone to a totally chemical free diet and want to get to chemical free cleaning.
How is it as a carwash?
Thank you so much for sharing. I have to try that on my shower. Have a great day!
I don't have the blue Dawn. Will the gold colored Dawn work as well or should I buy the blue?
Dawn dish liquid IS toxic though….. God bless.
Becky you are wonderful. Thank you from New Zealand.
Thank you so much for making this video. I've been doing my own non toxic cleaner for over a couple of years. Over the years I've become so allergic to the commercial cleaners. I'd cough like crazy to the point of gagging, my eyes would run and a couple things even took my breath. I get affordable organic oils from tjmaxx. There is a good company called simply earth for those interested. I use ecos brand laundry detergent and vinegar with essential oil as a fabric softener. Most common brands of detergent are 90% water plus they have optic brightener which is horrible for humans plus environment. For household cleaner I use your method with organic dish detergent and thyme, tea tree oil or lime which are natural disinfectants
I'm allergic to Citrus. It acts like an acid on my skin. Any other suggestions?

Hey, Becky would this work on kitchen,sink faucets and shower heads if you have hard water? I have hard water and it clogs up my shower head. Let me know if it could work on them as well.thanks I am going to try this.I use vinegar,baking soda in my washer and it works great. I keep lemon juice on hand as well.
Seems like too much dawn
Thanks so much for this recipe. I will be trying it out immediately.
Here's my contribution for you……
Dawn Power Wash for Dishes recipe:
4 Tablespoons Dawn blue dish soap
2 Tablespoons rubbing alcohol
13 ounces water
Use in spray bottle for foaming action. Works great!
For bleach products? Use bleach pray bottles? I found regular spray bottles won't handle bleach at all? Save bleach spray bottles. They don't corrode when using bleach.
Thank you. I always rather use non toxic cleaners when I can. Since Covid began, I have been using white vinegar to wash my vegetables and lemon juice to wash fruit. I read that the acid both the vinegar and lemon juice will kill the bacteria.
Thank you! God bless. ā¤ļø
Great advice. Thank you for sharing this!
This is awesome.
I'm so glad I found this video today. I was just about to buy some oven cleaner, but I just hate the smell.
For a cheap disinfectant, I take a spray bottle and pour in 1 and a half cups water, 1/2 cup alcohol, 1/2 tsp. Dawn. Give it a little shake, spray, and wipe away germs. It also cuts grease and makes things clean and shiny. Very cheap too.
I have everything to make this, but does anyone know if the sediments in the lemon juice will clog the spray nozzle?
Good afternoon everyonešš»āāļø,
Iād like to ask about hardwood bamboo flooring.

Dawn dish soap is highly toxic, FYI.
