I mentioned reusing spray-bottles in my previous post, so thought that it would be appropriate to follow up with some home-made cleaning recipes of the sort that your grandmother probably used.  Either save spray bottles that you bought with cleaning products in them, or you could buy some from your nearest garden centre, or online, like these ones.

Window cleaner - Dilute white distilled vinegar with water (50/50) for a quick, easy and cheap window cleaning solution.  Put it in a spray bottle to apply, and wipe windows off with newspaper that can be composted afterwards.

All purpose cleaner - Mix 1/4 cup distilled (white) vinegar and 4 Tbsp bicarb. with 1 litre of water.  Keep in a spray bottle and use for general cleaning.

Air freshener - Put a few drops of lavender essential oil into a spray bottle of water and use as an air freshener spray.
