spring cleaning
in an effort to be more green, i've been changing over my cleaning products to ones that won't harm the environment. a couple difficulties with this are that they aren't cheap and how to decide which ones to use?! there are so many out there and back to "they aren't cheap" if they don't work, you don't want to just throw it away.
so i've gone to my green resources, my mom & my baby sister. they are always looking for better, greener cleaning products and if it's in their budgets, then they'll try it. so here's what we've come up with...
dish soap - method. cleans the best, easy to find, and one of my book club friends told me that america's test kitchen just put out that this was their favorite too!
floor cleaner - castille soap (the link is to the brand you can find at target). not sure about using it on wood floors (so don't blame me...), but tile and vinyl. it's the best. cleans well, and you can find it now at target in the cosmetics aisle.
counter top cleaner - mrs. meyer's. wow. no more scrubbing. seriously this stuff has changed my life. also easy to find.
have you found a green product that you like? leave a comment and share what it is!

Hey Monica,
A woman in my yoga class sells Shaklee cleaning products. She had a booth at the Wake Forest Earth Day event this past week-end. Lots of people interested in green cleaning.
If you are interested in more info, I will give her your email, and she will contact you. She will send you the web-site, so you can see what they have, etc.
Let me know if you want me to give her your email address.

for the cheapest most budget friendly cleaning: vinegar and water. mix and spray. no pretty lavender scent, but it totally works. and for scrubbing - baking soda and half a lemon. scrub with the lemon. smells good, too!
