Cleaning Green
I know a lot of you make your own cleaning concoctions and use green cleaning products. I like using a green counter spray but I also want to kill germs. How do you accomplish killing germs while loving the Earth?
Re: Cleaning Green
vinegar, tea tree oil, and grapefruit seed extract is what we use to rid our house of germs.
I have a green cleaning book that I got some great recipes from. I make an all purpose cleaning spray that uses soap, borax, washing soda and water. I also make a window/tile spray with vinegar, soap and water.
Not at all green, but I do use Clorox wipes for things that are really germy or gross- raw meat and potty training messes mostly!
Yes! Can't believe I forgot about this. We also love vinegar because t denatures the protein in peanut butter so we washed everything in it when we came home from the allergist. It is also great in the.dishwasher. Really clears up glasses etc
I was told vinegar and also that lavender has antibacterial properties. I will say so far baking soda and vinegar have done an amazing job as drain declogger and shower head degunker. I just found something else on Pinterest for using it as a dishwasher cleaner, that will be next!
However, as someone who works in a biohazard lab and has had bleach bleach bleach drilled into them since freshman year of college I do still use a fair amount in the tub and toilet.
I do what Kristy (Glitzy) and Sarah (Tibbs) do.
A friend of mine posted this site and I think they have a cleaning challenge plus ideas/ recipes etc momsaware.org
