Another good tip is using rubbing alcohol to get rid of ink stains. It's not quite as harmless as this glycerin and soap mix, but it really does work when nothing else does... I've even gotten permanent marker stains out of a bedspread that way. Just use it in a well-ventilated area!

Joy, she has some fancier mopping recipes in the book, but one of them is simply white vinegar in hot water, with a drop or two of essential oils (whatever scent you like) to make it smell pretty. I did this the other week, and I felt like my floor mopped up really nicely and smelled good to boot. I would recommend the book, though!

I have been wanting to try a homemade mopping recipe. Do you have any suggestions?

I use ivory bar soap to make my liquid washing soap. I have really sensitive skin and our clothes come out smelling great and clean. Cheap too.

My entire life my grandmother used bar soap to get stains out. She would save the slivers of soap that were left and put them in a small container with a bit of water, it breaks it down and you have a great paste to help with stains.

Here's another idea for berry stains: My grandmother told me to pour boiling water through the fabric, and it lifts the stain right out. Works every time! I am so addicted to "Shout" for other kid stains though, I'll be excited to try this more natural solution! THanks!

Recently I tried something new...I have to double wash everything for my daughters exczema, so the first time I put in detergeant(All free and clear) and some vinegar. Then I wash it again and put in only vinegar the second time. Its the best I've done with stains in a long time. Not perfect, but much better than before!

I meant to add that I always use the Alice's Wonder Spray (general all-purpose cleaner), Merlin's Magic Cleaner (antiseptic) and Club Clean (mirror and glass cleaner) and they are great formulas - I have large spray bottles in my laundry room always full of each. The book is definitely worth the full price, which I paid for it! getting it for $5 is even better :~)

It's nice to be able to NOT go down the cleaning aisle at the grocery store (unless it's to buy Borax and washing soda!) ...

I've not tried this, but I do have that book and use it a lot ... all the cleaners that I have made and used in there work magnificently!
