Vinegar and newspapers work well for cleaning windows.
Baking soda and vinegar will unclog a drain and clean your garbage disposal.
A paste of baking soda will remove stains in sinks, on counters, floors, etc.
Household ammonia will work for just about all cleaning on hard surfaces.
Bleach and water mixed at a 1 part bleach to 10 parts water will disinfect everything. Check whatever you are spraying with it for colorfastness first. Let it air dry.
To make homemade laundry detergent, grate a bar of Fels Naptha soap. Mix in an airtight container with one cup each of Borax and Washing Soda. One tablespoon is enough for most loads, use two tablespoons for tough loads. Make sure to put it in the washer first to make sure it dissolves. You can scent it with any essential oil. I use lavender. Just a drop or two will do.
Rub laundry stains with Fels Naptha soap before washing or dissolve some in a spray bottle with water and spray the stain before washing.
You can wash dishes with regular Ivory Soap. Just soap the dishrag or sponge and use it like that. No additives and it rinses right off.
There's loads of sites on the net that have recipes for green cleaning stuff! They are very inexpensive and non polluting.
I have to admit I use some sort of dollar store shower mist type stuff. We have really hard water here and I hate cleaning the shower. This stuff keeps it clean! If I could find a recipe for that, I would make it!
Good for you for being green!
