In need of a good cheap cleaner

[whiskeylivewire]

Hey y'all I was wondering if anyone had a good "recipe" for a cleaner. I'm trying to get nicotine, crayons and just plain gunk stains off of some walls. I've used a few commercial cleaners like greased lightning and something orange(sorry can't remember which one). Just wondered if anyone had any ideas on something else I can use. Thanks.

PS...I'm allergic to bleach and cleaners with bleach in them. I know, I know wear gloves lol.

use vinegar,
mix 1 cup vinegar with 5 cups water and put in spray bottle to clean windows, mirrors, eye glasses.

about 1/4 cup vinegar to 1 gal water to clean floors, walls.

Automatic dishwasher detergent, it contains Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) thats the stuff they sell for cleaning walls before you paint. about $5.00 a qt.

Mix it 2 tablespoons detergent to 2 gal warm water.

This isn't really Dale, its his wife. I finally found a board I could reply on LOL.

The Mr. Clean Magic Sponges are great for just about everything you mentioned. I work at a childcare and you cannot imagine what we get on our walls, and those sponges takes all of it.

Good post Mrs. Dale Karma to you! But how can you get credit if you are not established. Wade on in the water is fine.

Thanks Pat!! Dale made me get my own account because he didn't want me saying anything under his name that would make him look bad. I just set it up, so you can find me around.

one more thing you can use for getting crayon off your walls is a damp cloth and an iron, it will pelt the crayon and the cloth will soak it up

try avon bubble bath. my wife uses it to clean every thing. works great. dilute 1 capful to a spray bottle or bucket of water.
