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.

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.
