Hi Everyone, Rhonda Rauch here with the Tidy Chick Housekeeping Company and today I’m excited to share a few of my Make ‘Em Yourself, Must-Have Cleaning Recipes!

One of the questions I get asked so often is: “What cleaning products do use in your business?  Now as I understand it; what we’re all in search of are products that are safe, effective, and deliver “the most bang for the buck” which can sometimes seem like a tall order when standing in any grocery store cleaning aisle.  Don’t misunderstand; there are without a doubt some great finds and specialty cleaning products to be highly regarded in the grocery aisle, and truth be told…we do in fact use our fair share of store bought products (sometimes just for the sake of convenience). However, when it comes to the basics and everyday essentials in cleaning, nothing really compares (in my humble opinion) to the demonstrated wisdom of your grandmother’s homemade cleaning concoctions that can work just as well for you today in fact as it did for her way back when! We truly love “grandmas” common sense approach which can make it hard to justify spending a lot on products that can be made for pennies (no exaggeration) from everyday staples kept in all of our homes!
