Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner

This is a really easy, quick, and inexpensive cleaner that works well and is safe around kids. I use it everywhere- in the kitchen, in the bathroom, on windows and mirrors ( it doesn't leave streaks or cloudiness).
There are lots of store-bought cleaners out there that work well, and some that I really like, but I don't feel comfortable having them around where my kids could get into them. Plus, they can really cut into the grocery budget.
I can make up a couple bottles of this one in no time and it stores very well.

Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner:

Water
Regular (white/distilled) vinegar
Rubbing alcohol

Fill a spray bottle about 1/2 full of water. (Doesn't have to be exact)

Fill the rest of the bottle with half vinegar and half alcohol.

That's it. So easy.

*You could also infuse the vinegar(for a more pleasant smell) by filling a clean jar with vinegar and adding apple, orange, etc peels and letting it set for 3-4 days or even longer, then straining out the peels, and using that instead of plain vinegar. I don't mind the smell of the vinegar, it seems to go away as soon as the cleaner dries, which is pretty fast.
