Around here, we call it an object lesson. See that squirt bottle? Mama is not going to be cleaning this mess.
It's easy and inexpensive to make your own window cleaner. I've tried a few different recipes and this one works the best. One batch costs less than 30 cents to make--that beats store brand Windex at $2.39!
Ingredients:
1 cup rubbing alcohol
1/4 cup ammonia
1/2 tsp castile soap or dish soap
Pour into a clean squirt bottle and fill with water.
Hand the bottle to your minion and send him to the nearest dirty mirror.
If you're lucky, he might get motivated enough to wash more stuff.
Watch as your bathroom becomes sparkly clean! Or less of a biohazard, at least.
Now if I could just get him to mop the kitchen, I'd be in business...
I'm not comfortable with the toxic fumes from ammonia, so I use vinegar instead of the ammonia and rubbing alcohol in your recipe. Works better than the store bought cleaner, for sure!
