How can I make cleaning easy and environmental without spending a lot of
green?
The most cost effective way to clean the green way is to make your own cleaning
solutions. It’s really not that hard and can save you a ton of money. When you
consider a bottle of glass cleaner (any brand) can range from $2-4, stop and
think about how much it would cost to make your own mix of 1 Tablespoon white
vinegar to ½ gallon of water.
To clean your hardwood floors, simply mix a solution of vinegar and water. With
crawling babies, it provides some peace to know that their hands (which
typically go straight to the mouth) are on a chemical free floor. For more

What are some easy solutions to speed up the cleaning process?
The all-in-one solutions offer a great way to clean multiple surfaces in a
jiffy. Typically you only have to add a few drops of the solution to a spray
bottle of water for full cleaning effects. Several Earth friendly companies,
like www.charliesoap.com,
www.shaklee.com, and
www.biokleen.com, offer a multi-purpose
cleaner.
