I just found this link on my natural parenting board and just HAD to share it with you. This looks to have recipes for all your cleaning needs.

Alternative Recipes

*I will also add this to the green sites thread

That's a good link RachelG,

The information about not using washing soda on fiberglass and aluminum was a bit of info I had meant to post.

I have tweaked some of the recipes for my own home made cleaners based on our water hardness and the results I have acheived.

Rachel ~ GREAT SITE! Everyone should take a look.

Thanks for posting the site. It is now in my favorites list!

I sort of lurk on this board but I printed off all the recipes for cleaning products a couple weeks ago. I made everything this weekend and used it all and my house is sparkling clean and best of all- no fumes!

Tahnk you all so much for all of the great info you all post here! I am now using vinegar and peroxide for my laundry (I use 7th generation detergent)- my daughter has stopped complaining that her clothes itch her; I made my own wood polish and my wood looks great; I cleaned the bathrooms with vinegar, peroxide, borax and baking soda (not all mixed together! LOL!) and everything shines. My puppy got a hold of a sponge and I didn't have to worry about what was on it that he might have gotten in his mouth(baking soda and peroxide was all it had been used with)
I love that if my daughter or my puppy WERE to get a hold of any of the bottles I made up, I could tell a doctor EXACTLY what was in each bottle, right down to the amounts- and that most of them were...edible..so to speak. (wood polish was just vinegar and olive oil!)
So...thank you for all of this. I will be stopping by here often!

Tally Ann ~ CONGRATULATIONS! Doesn't it feel good. House is safer and in the long run, you will save money.

There are so many smart,people on this board who have helped me so much. I know how you feel.

Don't lurk ~ Come on in!
