Green-Up Your Clean-Up
  I was listening to Wisconsin Public Radio this morning, and they had a great show on green cleaning. While I've always tried to be frugal when it comes to cleaning supplies (yet I somehow have an entire closet full of the latest orange-lemon-pineapple-lavendar-parsely-pine-gets-the-grease-off-without-streaks cleaners), I never really cared about how "green" they were.... until I had a baby.The author of Green-Up Your Cleanup (Green House) was on and she had some great ideas for both green and frugal cleaning supplies and methods.One that really caught my attention was a dishwasher powder, I made mental note of the recipe... 1/4 cup citric acid (ordered online) 1 1/2 cup borax (available at the grocery or Target-type store) 15 drops of lemon essential oil (option) Mix and store in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Use as you would your normal dishwasher powder. |

post a commentMy wife is a big fan of green and homemade cleaning products, and she has noticed that her allergies don't act up as much since she had taken the lead in this regard! It's a great idea, and it gives us some insurance that we aren't filling our home with toxins in the name of trying to clean it...
