In my last post, there was an inadvertent error in one of the recipes saying to mix bleach with ammonia. YIKES! That is not safe and not recommended. The post was corrected but be sure to never add those two chemicals together! Did you know you can even use homemade cleaners to clean your bathroom? Now your kids don’t have any excuses for not helping clean the bathrooms! All of these cleaners use ingredients you probably already have around your house. Give them a try and tell me what you think!
