Savings Worksheet Today I have for you a Savings Worksheet you can print out and work on.  It’s pretty simple.. just jot down your “savings goal” and how much you plan to save a month.. then you can see how long (or short) it will take you to save.

I like doing this because seeing often makes it easier to “do”..

Please share with us in the comments the savings goals you have!  You can also download our free personal budget worksheet.

1. Click here and it should come up as a pdf.. You must have Adobe Acrobat (its free)
2. Save to your computer

Homemade Window Cleaner

This Post Contains Affiliate Links - Disclosure Policy

May 7, 2013

Homemade Window CleanerEver been out of cleaning supplies just when you need them?  Or maybe you simple want to cut down on chemicals in your home.

How about trying out some Homemade Window Cleaner?  I really like my homemade cleaners.. I think they work great.  Try one of these recipes out and then leave a comment.

1. Vinegar
Vinegar is germ killer and grease cutter.  But make sure to use white vinegar It’s cheapest, anyway).  With it you can get streak-free windows and mirrors.  Use 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon vinegar for every 2 cups of water.

2. Liquid castile soap
Add 1/2 teaspoon castile or natural liquid soap to the above vinegar-water solution. Just spray it on and wipe with a soft cloth. Then use a squeegee to finish off the remaining cleaner.

3. Club soda
Combine 1 tablespoon white vinegar per cup of club soda and spray onto your windows or mirrors. Then use a soft cloth or crumpled newspaper to wipe away.

And a tip: don’t clean windows when the sun is shining on them. If they are warm or in direct sunlight you may find your Homemade Window Cleaner or any cleaner may leave streaks.

  2. Stir gently until the mixture thickens.
  3. Remove from heat to cool.
  4. Pour glue into small bowls and add dye and stir.
  5. You can store in an air tight container and the glue should keep for up to 7 days. I would probably keep it in the fridge, though.
  6. Use a paint brush to apply glue, wash brush after use.
