Did you know that you could potentially save over $580 per year by switching to homemade cleaning products?! 580 DOLLARS! That is a lot of moola folks. That could be a weekend away with your husband, a really great shopping spree, paying off you bills. I don't know about you but I would much rather use my money to less harmful things for my health.
For great tips and recipes for you to try if you want to go green pick up the book Green Up your Cleanup from your local library or just keep reading my random posts for recipes in the future.

I love that you are doing this. I always try to but, never do it right. I use vinegar and water to clean our windows and kyle hates the smell so i end up back with windex or dirty windows. ha! hope all is well!!
You can add a few drops of essential oils to off set the smell of the vinegar. It works pretty well. My favorite is lavender.
