Cleaning green means cleaning with non-toxic products. Sure, there are products on the store shelves that are green, but wouldn't it be nice to save some green too?
Window cleaner:
1 cup water
1 TBSP white vinegar
1 cup rubbing alcohol
Pour ingredients in spray bottle and shake.
All purpose spray:
1/2 tsp washing soda (great for many other things too, see link)
drop of dish soap
2 cups of hot water
Pour ingredients in spray bottle and shake.
Furniture polish:
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 lemon juice
Mix ingredients in a glass jar. Dab rag in mixture and polish furniture. You can try a spray bottle but many can't handle the oil. Store sealed.
Laundry detergent:
1 quart boiling water
2 cups Ivory Bar soap, finely grated
2 cups Borax
2 cups Washing Soda
2 gallons water
Add finely grated bar soap to the boiling water and stir until soap is melted. You can keep on low heat until soap is melted.
Pour the soap water into a large, clean pail and add the Borax and Washing Soda. Stir well until all is dissolved.
Add 2 gallons of water, stir until well mixed.
Cover pail and use 1/4 cup for each full load of laundry. Stir the soap each time you use it . You can store it in recycled laundry jugs, milk jugs or a large pail with a lid.
