Cleaning your house with low-toxic cleansers you make yourself is an excellent way to start your green home-maintenance program. Not only are these cleansers healthy and effective, they smell good, cost less than commercial products, don't pollute indoor air, and only take a minute to make.
Begin by sorting out the area where you keep your cleaning products. Box up all commercial cleansers - ammonia, oven cleaners, furniture polish, disinfectant, toilet cleaner. Tighten the lids and store the cleansers in the garage until your community's next hazardous-waste collection day. Now you're ready to replace those synthetic chemicals with natural products you make yourself using ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen:
The most common ingredients are:
• Borax
• Distilled white vinegar
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Washing soda
• Cooking oil
• Lemons

I couldn’t agree more when it comes to the difference it makes when you remove all the commercial cleaners from your home! I did and the sanitation truck wouldn’t even touch the stuff we put out for them like dishwashing liquid and even glass cleaner, they said that it was hazardous waste! You can make the transition easy and smooth with products you won’t have to mix yourself but are just as or more effective than those you get rid of. Just give it a try we can make it easy.
