Make Green Clean Products from household products

If you want to go green around your home but just don’t know which products to use or buy or you don’t want to spend time shopping multiple stores then check out www.greencupboards.com.  This company does all the research on green and natural cleaning products and tells you which product, in multiple categories, is the most green and the most effective.   Going green does not have to be difficult.  It  is mainly a commitment to yourself, your family and the environment to clean responsibly and preserve our natural resources for future generations.  Green cleaning products don’t have to cost an arm and a leg neither.  In fact,  you can make your own eco-friendly, green cleaning products at home.  It is safe, easy and cheap!  Here are a few for you to try:

Window Cleaner:
1/4-1/2 tsp of liquid detergent (”green” of course)
3 tbs of vinegar
2 cups of water
1 spray bottle

Mix up ingredients in spray bottle and shake until well blended.  Use as you would  commercial window cleaner.

Oven Cleaner:
1 cup or more baking soda
water
1-2 squirts of liquid detergent

First, sprinkle water generously over bottom of the oven.  Sprinkle enough baking soda over the water to cover the bottom of the oven.  Sprinkle more water on top of the baking soda and leave overnight.  This eco-friendly cleaning paste will loosen grease and grime so that you can wipe it up the next day.  When you have cleaned up the worst of the mess use a damp sponge with a dab or two of liquid detergent to cut the remaining grease.  Wipe until clean and polish off with a dry terry cloth rag.  If there is still a bit of residue left, repeat steps being sure to use enough baking soda and water to create a thick, white paste.  This natural way of cleaning your oven may take a little more elbow grease but it sure beats inhaling toxic fumes emitted by commercial cleaners.  Safe for you, safe for your family, safe for pets, safe for the environment.  What more could you ask for?
