This week, I was able to cheaply buy a copy of Green Cleaning for Dummies and have enjoyed reading it. I would recommend it as a good read for those who want to "green" up their cleaning. The best part is that there is a whole chapter of recipes for green cleaners.
We have been using green cleaners around our house for several years because of the allergy factor here at our house. Commercial cleaner odors and chemicals set off our asthma and allergies so they have been banished for quite a while. We have used baking soda and white distilled vinegar as our main cleaning ingredients since that time. The best part is our bill for household cleaners is a small fraction of what it cost to buy the commercial cleaners.
About two years ago we started making our own bar soap. I finally had run out of options in the commercial variety department that did not make some of us break out in a rash. As we have delved deeper into green cleaning, we have started experimenting with making our own dishwasher and laundry detergent. We have found many of these cleaners work just as well or better than their commercial counterparts.
I would encourage you to find a copy of the book sometime or do an internet search for green cleaning recipes. I will also share some of our recipes and tips in future blogs.
Happy green cleaning!
