Enjoy,
Good morning, savvy savers! So this past week at my home, albeit low-key, have been jammed packed with DIY projects and freezer cooking sessions! With all that cooking, comes a whole lot of cleaning, and for me that means whipping out my commercial for keeping my counter tops cleaned, Method Grapefruit Spray! That spray rocks!
As much as I love the cleaner, I am also looking to further cut my bankbook strings in 2015, so I decided to try a DIY version this year! With that said, for the past few days I have been using apps savings from Snap by Groupon, to save on Scarlet Grapefruits at my local Sam’s Club (shopping scenarios to come in the next few days), and instead of composting the Grapefruit peels, I started the first steps to making Homemade Grapefruit Counter top Cleaner!
With the outrageous cost of commercial glass cleaners, I created an organic, non-toxic, child and pet-safe all purpose cleaner which can be for under $5.00 for a years worth of cleaner! As the average cost of a bottle of store-bought orange cleaner is 3.89, and I use a bottle of spray a month, that’s a savings of $48.68 a year! Here’s how to make this!
Ingredients:
- 1 Clean, dried mason jar
- The peels of 3 grapefruits
- 2 Cups Distilled, white vinegar
- 10 drops Essential Grapefruit Oil
- 1 Empty Bottle
- 1 Funnel
- 1 Plastic Bowl
- 1 Sifter
Instructions:
- Obtain a clean mason jar, and fill it with 16 ounces, 2 cups, of distilled white vinegar.
- Place the peel of three grapefruits in the mason jar with the vinegar.
- Add the 10 drops of essential oil to the top of the jar.
- Secure the cap and ring on the mason jar.
- Store the jar in a cool, dry place for 14 days; I have stored the jars in both my pantry and garage without issues.
- On the 15th day, open the jar and strain the contents into a sifter, over a plastic bowl.
- Return the solution to the mason jar with a funnel; label your jar as cleaning concentrate.
- Open a spray bottle and add 1/4 cup of the solution, 2 ounces, to 5 cups water.
- Seal the bottle and shake gently.
- Use in conjunction with newspaper to clean most glass surfaces, including counters.
This is an awesome cleaner! I hope you will think so, too!
Enjoy the clean!
This review and giveaway was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Pampers. I received product free of charge, but all opinions are 100% mine.
If you are anything like me than just seeing a baby, so new, so full of potential elicits nothing but smiles all around. Babies make us smile, they make us laugh, they make us feel hopeful for the world as a whole- babies are just awesome, don’t you think?
Pampers recently unveiled its “Hush Little Baby Lullaby” campaign that recognizes this very thing— how babies bring out the best in all of us, and that is why we should do our part to make life better for them!
Also, Pampers created a video that celebrates all profound ways that babies change the world around them for the better and in turn asks families like you to pledge how we can all make life #BetterForBaby.
Here’s a few ways Pampers is striving to make life better for babies:
As the brand who supports the happy, healthy development of babies for more than 50 years, Pampers is committed to doing their small part to making life #BetterForBaby through their core brand commitments including:
1) Protecting premature babies by providing NICU wards throughout the country Pampers.
2) By helping families in need through product donations.
3) Providing much needed maternal and neonatal tetanus vaccination clinics.
4) Their continued pledge to reduce their carbon footprint. In fact, Pampers is making a significant donation to each of our charity partners, which include the Graham’s Foundation, UNICEF and Feeding America, in recognition of their valued partnership in helping Pampers support the happy, healthy development of babies.
As a brand that has supported the happy, healthy development of babies for more than 50 years, Pampers is committed to doing their small part. For example, they donate millions of diapers each year to families in need through Feeding America, have partnered with UNICEF to help eliminate maternal and newborn tetanus in 15 countries, and they support premature babies and their families with special Pampers preemie diapers and other resources via Graham’s Foundation.
They are encouraging everyone to make a #BetterForBaby pledge. Because I love to coupon, I’m pledging to donate as many diapers as I can to moms that can’t afford them! You can see the #BetterForBaby video and make your own pledge.
