Thanks for the cleaner recipes! These are wonderful suggestions for 90% of modern houses. Ammonia is a most powerful degreaser. Back in the day when we really did wax our kitchen floors, ammonia was the only thing that got the old yellowed wax up. if there's a thick black greasy muck on your kitchen cabinets, either straight ammonia or a mix containing ammonia gets it off. if its a very, very old house with blackened layers of hand oils on old banisters, knobs, doors, or anywhere, ammonia gets it up. When the filth is layered and thick, the ammonia isn't even reaching the woodwork until layers are cleaned off. [ammonia is drying, but with woodwork glycerin and a spray of water heals it - plus then the appropriate wax for protection - there are many wood-healing recipes out there] Ammonia in the washer is great for getting skin flakes, body oils, and perspiration out, especially with today's lousy detergents and cold water washes. Many cleaning shows focus on clean suburban houses with drywall and easily cleaned counters, baseboards and such. So yea, light cleaners are sufficient. But rural living in old farmhouses is a very different cleaning challenge...!! mouse poop, drafts bearing dust, oil furnaces that create grime and sticky surfaces, crumbling rock and mortar walls, oh man.

So right! Grew up in a 1780s stone house my mom still lives in. Ammonia is the only thing that could deal with sigler oil stove gunk. Original pine floors that have been polyurethaned, then buffed with Johnson's paste wax. Every year I still strip old wax, reapply and buff floors for my mom. Polyurethane protects the floors but it still scratches. It's a ton of work to redo poly, so the wax protects it. Much rather have wax scratches lol.

4:27 Something one should be aware of... "In this analysis, a 50% isopropyl alcohol solution kills Staphylococcus Aureus in less than 10 seconds (pg. 238), yet a 90% solution with a contact time of over two hours is ineffective." Also, when concentration is below 50%, disinfection usefulness drops dramatically. 70% IPA is most effective at disinfecting.

I love the lemon and spruce ones... leave the things shiny and more disinfected with the lemon and sooo good smelling with the spruce one. Now, just one thing to add... is that vinegar IS a disinfectant and kills loads on viruses and bacterias. A trick also... isopropyl/water and essential oils (like eucalyptus, thyme, lemon, orange, etc..) in a small spray bottle is making a very nice house deodorant spray which also "purify" the air... very good when somebody in the house have a flu... help to limit the contamination.

Don't know if you received an answer yet. That is the reason why you do not overdo it with the Dawn dish detergent. I know there are some recipes that tell you a cup of water a cup of vinegar and a cup of Dawn dish detergent. That is way too much dish detergent. If need be, due to hard water and very bad soap scum, I would start with 1/16 of a cup. If it seems like you need a little more then go up to an eighth.
