Simple Vinegar Cleaner (All Purpose)
I knew this day would come.
The day I finally went through my stock pile of all purpose cleaner. I really wanted to try making my own cleaners for a while now. I’ll admit, I was nervous. I wasn’t about to sacrifice sparkling counters for, well, much of anything. So I stopped buying cleaner. Even on sale. And even when I had coupons for it.
It was rough.
I do things to be frugal. I knew that making your own cleaner was cheap, but I was able to get such good deals with stacking coupons and sales was it worth it? I mean, from a financial stand point you don’t get much cheaper than free.
The verdict: Uh yeah it’s worth it.
If you have been even thinking about it a little bit here is why I’m now converted to homemade all purpose cleaner.
1. It works. Really well. Like super well.
2. No chemicals.
3. Cheap.
4. And if you stockpile and get all of your cleaner for free think about this: There is no need for a stockpile. Which means you have extra space!

Put into spray container. Shake well. Label if you feel so inclined.
Have you ever made your own cleaner?
How to clean a vinyl or plastic shower curtain
Disclaimer: I’m so embarrassed to post this.
In our shower we have a cheap plastic shower curtain (yes, it is a PVC free shower curtain – but still a cheap one!) and then we have our nicer fabric shower curtain over it. I clean our bathroom once a week – on Tuesdays actually, because I’m kind of OCD and like to do things on certain days. And every Tuesday I wash our bathroom mats and the fabric shower curtain. And every Tuesday I say I’m going to wash our plastic one because it is so gross, but I thought I would have to scrub it and I just never had time.
Holy cow it can go in the washing machine – and come COMPLETELY clean! Had no clue! Or else I would have done it a long time ago.
I guess the time has come I have to finally post a picture huh?
I told you … ewww!!!
Toss it in the washing machine (I put a couple towels in with it). Shake some baking soda in there (very technical I know) then your laundry detergent and wash. I washed mine with hot water and on the gentle cycle.
When it’s done hang it up to dry.
Before
After. Ah much better.
Because everyone knows you need a side by side before and after shot! 🙂
Happy cleaning!
