I don't believe I have ever viewed a more thorough, clearly articulated and completely accurate video using these products and tools including safety (PPE) and hazard warnings! I am, for one, grateful for the time you took to make this amazing video and show examples of their uses.

Thank you

I really appreciate this video! As someone with a pet bird, who has a breathing problem and can't handle strong scented cleaners or chemicals, this is totally great! Dawn, vinegar and baking soda are basically the only cleaners safe for birds!

We have made our own cleaners for years!! Like since was a kid at home…. I am now 65. Yes a lot of years.. vinegar-Borax-alcohol-dish soap (Dawn my favorite ). Fels-Naptha, Lemon, salt, and so on. We use them like crazy. And for woods every where, Old English. Yes it is so trusted, tried and true. Saves tons of money. I will not waver on my Earth Breeze, laundry sheets and Dawn dish soap. And yes good cleaning microfiber cloths…. Mmmm Kind of like the ones you all have sold. Or, Norwex. Just my 7 1/2 cents…. Thank you for sharing!

As for cleaning products that I won't substitute at home, it's actually a tie:

- Dr. Bronner's family of castile-soap products, which won't do everything, but will still do an awful lot, including some unique things like being able to brush your teeth and otherwise clean YOURSELF. Some variants (like peppermint) are even viable as a roach repellent!
- Simple Green, which is the most spectacularly effective degreaser that I've encountered, to the point where it was introduced to me by *bicycle mechanics* as their preferred tool for cleaning chains & components.

I might add that both products are notoriously eco-friendly, as well. Simple green says it right in their name, while Dr. Bronner's is a backpacking standard.

I love your recipes and advice. I do mix baking soda and vinegar down my bathroom sink drains. The explosion loosens all the gunk ready for the toothbrush treatment etc. It works a treat if left for around 1/2 hour before adding water.

I use your DIY all-purpose cleaner with 5 drops of lemongrass essential oil added to one cup of water and 1/2 tsp dish soap. This is the best cleaner ... my quartz countertops have never looked so good!!

We live in Nova Scotia, and have a local company “Down East Cleaning products” that make several scent free non toxic products, and we can refill our containers at a local health food store. They work well on most routinely cleaned surfaces. For example, they have an all purpose cleaner that you dilute up to 80/1, so even though you may pay a bit more up front, I find them quite cost effective for our needs.

[nendensirod]

I am glad and fortunate to find your channel Melissa.
I learn more how effective and eficient to clean any space of house.
And also the method of cleaning that you share is really useful and helpful for me as house cleaner.

Unscented & Dye free laundry detergent. Pledge Multi Surface Rainfresh scent. It can be used on multiple surfaces and the light scene goes away in about 15 min. Also the product goes a long way. Thank you for the info. I have tried all your recipes. I have been making my own cleaning products since the 70's. We were not rich people that could afford to buy products we didn't need. There were no $ Stores in those days.

[candygeck]

I don't think I could ever stop using Pinesole. It just makes the floors look good, and the house smells great. I did, however, learn from your channel the value of vinegar to rince the laundry instead of Downey. HUGE savings there. ❤

[freshstartgreencleaning]

I use to use dish soap everywhere. A little goes a long way. Now I use Sal's Suds.

Baking soda is a rock star!

Great concise video!!

[jowiens]

Been using vinegar, basking soda, peroxide, rubbing alcohol and Castile soap for so many years. The money people spend on cleaners is so unnecessary, and the cleaners are so bad for our health and the planet. Essentials oils are also so great as deodorizing added to the vinegar. Thank you!

[elsafischer]

I love your formulas, I been your using for a long time, they are great. Thank you

[lucerohoward]

Like all of this and my favorite is dish soap and water, looks very good. Thank you Melissa.

[keithbates]

Always appreciate your vlogs on cleaning Melissa. You are thoroughly good explaining all about cleaning products. Joan 😊

One product I'll never DIY is laundry detergent. I do, however, use baking soda as a detergent booster and vinegar as a fabric softener. The vinegar, especially, makes my towels fluffy and soft!
