Green Cleaners-Soaps and Oils

Although baking soda and vinegar can tackle most cleaning jobs around the house, sometimes you need something to give them a little boost. Here are some green soaps you can try.

Liquid Castile Soap (vegetable based soap)-mild and versatile cleaning agent
Glycerin-provides lubrication and is often used in milder cleansers
Liquid hand and dishwashing soap-look for premade green cleaners that list all of their chemicals; should be vegetable based like liquid Castile soap and usually will contain some glycerin

If you want to add some scent to your cleaners and some extra boost of cleaning you can also add essential oils. These are concentrated plant oils that you can buy usually at your local health food store. Some can also act as disinfectants.

That is the list of cleaners. The next couple of posts will give some specific recipes and ideas for cleaning specific areas of the house.
