Household Cleaning- The Green Way!

Household cleaning is an every day process, and whether it's cleaning the bathroom sink, or the kitchen counter, it is important to clean the smart, safe, and green way.  Conventional cleaning products are among the most hazardous substances you will find in your home, they are extremely hazardous to human life as well as to the environment.

Increasingly, you can find more and more eco friendly home cleaners being sold on the market today, which is great to see!  Such as Clorox new green works cleaners.  But did you know that you can make your very own green cleaning products yourself?  Just from simple ingredients found in your own kitchen!

• Baking Soda:  Mix with two tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon to remove sticky greasy stains, ink stains on clothes and fish tanks.  I have two large fish tanks in my house, one salt water and one fresh water and I love using this baking soda cleaning product to clean the outside of the tanks- it makes them look brand new!
• White Vinegar:  This is a very popular ingredient people use an eco friendly home cleaner.  It has a great acidic nature!  It can remove stains from glass surfacers, dirty windows, and mirrors.
• Olive Oil:  This can be mixed with lemon juice as a natural wood furniture polishing agent.  The ratio of mixing olive oil and lemon juice is 2:1.

• Homemade All Purpose Cleaner-  This recipe is my favorite!  And the one I use the most!  I use it for just about everything that needs a quick wipe down! (counter tops, chairs, desks, walls, refrigerator, etc.)  It is a great disinfect with a lovely aromatic scent!
