Okay, well you don't have to be obsessed! But here's a cheap and fab way to keep your house bacteria and viral free!
We are going to make a Bleach/Water solution that has been lab tested to be 99% effective at killing harmful germs that can make you and your family sick. Okay...here we go.. Super easy stuff.
BEST OF ALL, INSTEAD OF SPENDING $3.00 on a bottle of cleaner, I figure this costs you some where around .04 cents a bottle. (That's after you get the actual spray bottle.)
What you'll need:
1. Spray bottle (read specs below)
2. High quality bleach
3. Water (no, doesn't have to be bottled! Haha)
More Specific...
1. You need a Bleach Safe bottle. This is important. If it isn't the bottle will stop working within a few weeks.
You can buy an industrial strength empty bottle at one of the big home improvement stores. I bought a few, one to keep in each bath and in the kitchen. This cleaner will change your life! (oh, I also have one in laundry room to spot clean my whites before I wash them!)
Another great way to get your spray bottle is to reuse bottles that were 'Tile cleaner with bleach' or 'Lysol all purpose cleaner With bleach".
When that bottle is empty do this project and be sure to write on it in marker what it now is!
"BLEACH WATER"
2. I said high quality bleach because a lot of people think buying the cheap stuff saves them money but it doesn't. (just like you buy cheap quality products at the discount stores ...it's not going to last. How many times are you going to have to re-buy those products and how much does that cost add up to? Usually better to buy higher quality in the beginning and not have to keep repurchasing.)
With bleach the cheap stuff is EXTREMELY WATERED DOWN. So don't pay for water.
3. Now the simplest part of this project is the MAKING OF IT!
I like to use a kitchen funnel and in the sink I pour a capful of the bleach (cap from the bleach bottle. That's all!) Pour it into the funnel...into your spray bottle ...turn your sink on Low and fill the bottle up!
You are done!
Remember bleach removes color so be careful, but use this liberally in your kitchen, bath ..anywhere.
I use it for...
Spraying my cutting boards
Spot touching my white clothes
Cleaning the toilet
Spraying the shower down
Cleaning the garbage cans
Sanitizing door knobs and sink levers
All bathroom surfaces
so much more!
I hope you love this product as much as I do. I have many more great home cleaning ideas coming up! Some of them you would never have imagined!

I will try this...I did switch over to homemade Laundry soap and Al purpose cleaner (water vinegar and borax) and we LOVE them. Tested the laundry soap on dried blood and worked better then brand name!
