1/4 cup cornstarch / arrowroot / tapioca flour / potato flour
6
TBSP unrefined virgin coconut oil
Optional: an essential oil such as tea tree oil or vanilla or sandelwood

How I clean my house
Floors: Vinegar in water. Add a little essential oil such as peppermint oil if you want to neatralise odours.
Windows and mirrors: Microfibre cloth with water. Otherwise use some vinegar with baking soda if required.
Sink holes basins and showers: Lemon juice from the supermarket along with plenty of bicarb of soda. Leave a lot of each in the sink hole overnight. The bicarb works on neatralizing odours and the lemon juice can add a more refreshing smell. You will need lots. Alternatively use white vinegar in place of the lemon juice.
Toilets: Leave bicarb and lemon juice around the bowl. Leave overnight before flushing.
Washing machine: Put a cup of white vinegar in the washing machine and run through an entire cycle without any clothes.
