Making the switch
Hello Ladies,
I have been making changes to live a more green lifestyle. I was wondering what green household products you use? Is Green Works good? TIA 
Re: Making the switch
Ditto homemade cleaners such as white vinegar, dishsoap and baking soda. I also use Bar Keeper's Friend, Method and Simple Green products.
I don't think Green Works is very green. I haven't researched it, but it has a strong, chemical smell. I'm very sensitive to smells, so I won't be buying that again.
I clean a lot with homemade cleaners......vinegar/water for mirrors & windows, baking soda to scrub my tub and sinks. I also buy some Seventh Generation products- dishsoap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, and kitchen/bath cleaner sprays. I can buy all this stuff fairly cheap at the grocery store.
Another easy "green" thing to do when it comes to cleaning.....use reusable cloths to clean with. I use a lot of microfiber cloths for cleaning. You can get a big pack of them in the auto cleaning section of Walmart, Target, etc, for less than $10. I use them for dusting, wiping up spills, cleaning sinks, etc. I also use them to mop.....they fit on my swiffer mop perfectly. You can use them dry (to pick up dust/dirt) or wet (to wet mop floors). I keep a bucket in the laundry room for the dirties, and when the bucket is fairly full, I wash them. Just wash them normally, except make sure not to use fabric softener (it affects their ability to absorb liquids).
Hope this helps!
This may sound silly but growing up I was taught to use bleach for whitening up surfaces and for killing germs. Is vinegar as effective?
Green Works sucks hairy_ass. I have been doing some reviews in my blog if you want to check them out.
