Since I do not have my Grandma’s knowledge or experience, but I have this ridiculously overpriced broadband, I have started furiously researching the recipes for homemade cleaning products. In the beginning I was sceptical and thought that I would have to order some crazy chemicals to make my potions which would defeat the point of making them at home in the first place. I could not be further from truth. The majority of instructions consist of stuff everybody already has at home: salt, vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice. Plus it takes minutes to make some!
And it is not only cleaning products! I looked at the plants I have at home. They have serious attitude problems and occasionally made me think that my flat was built on some ancient burial ground, and they just refuse to vibe with this place. On the other hand, plants in the garden scream ‘Oh wow! A crack in the concrete! I dreamt about it, this is where I am going to grow’. So, I was in need of making some weed killer.
It took me maybe 20 minutes. 10, for finding few recipes online and reading comments. Real comments from real people – when nobody is trying to sell you something, there is no need for fake reviews and that is an extra bonus point. And 10 for mixing water, vinegar and salt.
