Reenie Goes Green; Part 3: Green Cleaning

I think I mentioned I asked my friends back in June how they were saving money in this turbulent economy. One friend responded with a reference to green cleaning. She is making all of her own cleaning products. Using very basic ingredients.

She didn't elaborate on her recipes, but I did some digging online, and found that white vinegar, baking soda, ammonia, rubbing alcohol, olive oil and lemon can be your best friends in your quest to both cut down on potential toxins, and SAVE money. I won't elaborate on recipes here, but they look super easy, and completely worth trying. I mean the costs do add up when you buy cleaning products -- why not give this a try with ingredients you already have at home. It's on my to-do list.

Keep it green,
