Wouldn’t you love a cheap, enviro-friendly cleaning product that you could use all over the house? Some MyBudget staff have been trialing homemade Miracle Spray from the Simple Savers Facebook page and their feedback is a big thumbs up. They say it works as well as store-bought cleaners on tiles, glass shower screens, toilets, benches and floors, plus it doubles up as a pre-wash stain remover.

Miracle Spray (makes two litres)

Ingredients

1.5L water (1 cup of it boiled)
300ml white vinegar
60ml dishwashing liquid
25ml eucalyptus oil
3 dessertspoons washing soda (‘Lectric’)

Method

Dissolve washing soda in 1 cup of boiling water then pour all ingredients into a 2L container and gently swirl to mix. Transfer into spray bottles. As with all cleaning products, keep Miracle Spray out of reach of children.
