    Pour ingredients into empty gallon container or empty gallon milk jug.
  2. 2

  3. 3

    Works great! I used it to clean my greasy cook top and everything else in the kitchen, plus dirty fingerprints on our white woodwork.

    I made this because of all the rave reviews. It seems I am the only one to put in a negative review. I don't like to hurt anyones feeling with a bad review, I made this several months ago and wasn't going to put in this review but feel I should because there may be others like me that don't like the overpowering smell of alcohol and ammonia. I made this exactly as stated. I didn't find it cleaned well at all. The smell of alcohol and ammonia is enough to make one stop breathing. I would rather spend a little extra and get a good smelling store bought cleaner that works without excessive scrubbing.

    This stuff is awesome. I've already used up my first batch cleaning - got the stuff to make another bottle tonight. I live in military quarters and the tile is all white - I drive myself nuts keeping it clean. This is my answer. Great on my counter tops, stove top, etc. Thanks for posting.
