Homemade Cleaners - Finding the Ingredients
Common basic ingredients used for most homemade
cleaners can be bought in the grocery store. If you want
some of the more uncommon ingredients, here is a list of
where you can usually find them. Not all paint or
hardware stores will carry them; phone to find one that
does, as some ingredients are not much in demand today.

remover)
