   2. Shake to mix and use sparingly
   3. This lasts for ages and costs approx $4 for 2kg and lasts for 3 mths - is very cheap
2. Dishwashing liquid
   This will not show bubbles but will clean just as well - very cheap to make

   2. Let it fizz, , and then add hot water to fill the bottle
   3. Shake to dissolve soda
   4. Use sparingly, about 2 pumps per wash
3. Cleaning mix - kitchen benches & hand basins

   1. In a spray bottle put approx 1tbs eucalyptus oil OR 3-4 tbs vinegar and fill with water
   2. Spray then wipe surfaces
4. Scrubbing mix- Bathroom tiles, moulds, laundry and kitchen sinks, stove, oven, soap scum from glass shower doors
   This paste replaces AJAX, Jif etc and will leave a sparkling surface
   1. In a plastic 'take away'food container with lid, 3/4 fill with bicarb soda, 2 tbs lemon juice OR eucalyptus oil and top with water to make a paste
   2. An essential oil (instead of eucalyptus) can be added for a nice smell if you like
   3. Wipe a small amount over surfaces using a sponge, then rinse off
   4. Use an old toothbrush with some of the paste to get mould from hard to get places
5. Toilet bowls - A paste of bicarb of soda and lemon juice can be used to clean toilet bowls
