With the economy in the state it is, grocery prices on the rise, not to mention petro., I have many alternative recipes for cleaning products that are "tried and true" and not costly.. I'd be happy to share recipes for homemade laundry soap(that works...we live on a ranch and get darn dirty),an alternative to bleach, oven cleaners, etc. I have them all, not only are they easy to make but it completely makes sense to use them for our groundwater sake. We have gray water that feeds our orchard(as well as numerous animals and birds), and a shallow well. It was very important to me when I bought the place to use "green" cleaning products that would not harm the environment or the animals.

Happy cleaning and feeling good about it!
