Green Cleaning

It’s time we change our cleaning routines and stop relying on toxic chemicals.  The alternatives mentioned in the recipes and article are not only healthier for our families and environment, but our wallets too.  Here are some tips to get started:

1. Make your transition slowly. Replace your commercial cleaners with a homemade substitute as you run out of each one. Be sure to mix up the new cleaner as soon as you run out of the commercial one so that it will be on hand and ready to use when you need it.
2. Store your cleaners in reusable airtight containers such as spray bottles or recycled milk jugs. Be sure to label each container with the ingredients and purpose.
3. For the bar soaps required in the recipes below, try Fels-Naptha, Ivory soap, Sunlight bar soap, Kirk’s Hardwater Castile, and Zote. Don’t use heavily perfumed soaps.
