ALL PURPOSE CLEANER
This recipe will make 4 - 28 oz bottles.
13 1/4 cups of Water (1 hot)
1/4 Cup of Dr. Bronner's Castile Liquid Soap - I like Citrus for the All Purpose Cleaner.
1/4 Cup of Borax
1/4 Cup of Vinegar
Mix the hot water with the borax until it dissolves. Add the remaining water, vinegar & Castile Soap. Use a funnel to pour the solution into the four bottles.

1/3 cup + 1 tsp of Alcohol denatured or regular
