Your favorite homemade household product

I used to make my own laundry soap, shampoo, etc. After my divorce and renting rooms from people and all that I got lazy and just quit doing it. I've wanted to get back to it but didn't start making the effort until this pregnancy. I can't find any of my old recipes.

So what are your favorite homemade household product recipes?

    Take orange peels/rinds and put them in a quart glass [mason jar works GREAT], fill remaining space with vinegar. Let sit for around 10 days, than strain the liquid out into a spray body. GREAT all-purpose cleaner. Vinegar is a great natural astringent and the orange makes it smell really nice. Found the idea on pinterest and I'm hooked!

    I love my bs/acv hair care. I use 1/4 cup bs in 20 oz of tester for shampoo and 1/2 cup vinegar in 20 oz of water for conditioner. The. I massage lavender oil into my scalp post-shower. It smells so good!

    I like to use baking soda and peroxide to brush my teeth about once a month, it is a really great whitener for your teeth it gets rid of all the everyday staining. I never use it more than that but have been told not to exceed once a week, that is how strong it works! Anyways almost anything can be cleaned with a lemon, vinegar, and baking soda... I know I have a link, here is one about vinegar: https://www.vinegartips.com/Scripts/ anyways the other poster said pintrest and I have found lots of recipes on there like this one I haven't tried: https://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2012/01/get-rid-of-armpit-stains-for-good-make.html#more

    I really like making my own glass cleaner (spray bottle of 1/4 c. vinegar + 2 c. water) and all-purpose cleaner (spray bottle of 1/8 c. borax + 1 quart hot water).  I also clean my wood floors with 1/4 c. vinegar + 1 gallon warm water.  I make my own bathroom air freshener spray with essential oils, vodka, and water.
