Cool Tip: Save serious $$$ by making your own household cleaner

While there are certain things you should splurge on in life (*ahem* food, skin products, and the like), store-bought household cleaners should NOT be one of them. The majority of cheaper cleaners are riddled with horrible chemicals, and the more expensive, organic ones can be, shall we say, overpriced? The answer? Make your own household cleaner using white vinegar, a spray bottle, and some fancy oils (that cost a whopping $1). Here's how:

Things you will need...

1 spray bottle ($1 at your nearest Dollar Tree or similar store)

White vinegar (about $2 for a big jug at your local grocery store)

Water (free-- cha-ching!)

Scented fragrance oil-- I prefer rose, but use whatever you like ($1 at the Dollar Tree)

How to Actually do it...

1) Fill your spray bottle half-way full with vinegar.

2) Fill the rest of the bottle to the top with warm (or hot) tap water.

3) Put a few drops of your desired oil in the bottle to curb the vinegar smell.

4) Close the bottle, shake, and spray.

P.S. I have used this recipe for a year or so, and it works great! Try it in the shower, too, for a daily cleaner.

P.S.S. DO NOT use this on flat screen high-def TV's. Only use water.
