Anyone know any homemade “green” cleaning products?

Posted March 16, 2010 – 12:48 am in: Cape Cod Green Cleaning News

Im trying to save a little money and clean my house safely as well. I have 3 toddler who touch everything so I want to make sure whatever I use is okay for them to be around.

Just a little funny- all 3 are going through a “doggy” phase and want to eat OFF of the floor lol so this is another reason I want to be EXTRA safe.

    two parts white vinegar,one part water and a few tablespoons of rubbing alcohol. In a (recycled) spray bottle is an excellent everything cleaner. It can be used for glass, metal, wood. I use it for just about everything.

    a few glug glugs from the bottle of vinegar into some hot water, is good for mopping the floor.

    Vinegar kills germs just as well as any over the counter product.

    Baking soda with water as a paste combined with a scrubber and some elbow grease will get off just about any tough stain in your bathtub, stove, tiles etc.

    Hmmm what else. Tea Tree Oil is a fantastic wonder product for many things. It kills mould, and is an antiseptic. I use it with warm water to wash wounds, in a bath with epsom salts to relax muscles, on the spot for pimples etc.

    Good old bucket of hot water and dish soap mixture and a cleaning rag…good for the floor, good for dusting.
    Invest in a steam mop. They go on sale all the time,and you can clean the floor well with just water..as for the phase of the children..try to get them to use a plastic place mat between the food and the floor…they can pick out brightly coloured ones from most dollar stores. (mom of three)
