I am obsessed with this product.
I use it for everything. It's very safe to use in your home and around kids and pets. It's effective!
Currently I'm using it for:
Laundry soap
Counter top cleaner and de-greaser
Stove top cleaner and de-greaser
Dish soap
Bathroom surfaces and toilets
Mopping the floors
Fruit and veggie spray
Hand soap (occasionally)
To make this Everywhere All-purpose Cleaner, you simply dissolve All-Natural Castile Soap Flakes into boiling water. In our Rayburn's Naturals Shop we sell 3oz packages of Castile Soap Flakes. This gets dissolved into 12 cups of water and makes a concentrate. Twelve cups is a lot of concentrate!
What you want to clean determines how much you dilute your concentrate.
For instance, if you're mopping the floors, you would add 1 cup concentrate with 1 gallon of warm water. If you want a counter top and stove top cleaner and degreaser, you mix 1 Tablespoon of concentrate with 1 cup of water in a spray bottle. Spray away for a spotless kitchen!
I'll share how to make the concentrate, then I'll give instructions for using it depending on your cleaning needs and desires.
The Recipe
Yield: 12 cups 15 minutes
Ingredients
12cups water
Instructions
In a large pot over high heat, boil 12 cups of water.
Turn off burner and gently pour Castile Soap Flakes into the water.
Stir very gently with a whisk until fully dissolved. (It may suds up a little.)
Let cool completely. Pour into a gallon jug of your choice or three glass mason jars.



Note: This is an unscented cleaner. I do not recommend adding essential oil to your concentrate because, when diluted, it will not leave much of a scent. If you prefer a scent, add a few drops of essential oil to your final cleaning solution. I like lemon for cleaning and lavender for laundry!
Use this cleaner for all your household needs!
