green cleaning

Green cleaning is one way we can help our environment that is eco-friendly along with renewable green energy. The common household cleaners on the market all contain chemicals that can harm the air we breathe and our bodies.

Making and using your own products can save money and contribute to helping the environment.

Most of us have the ingredients on hand to make our own supplies. Three basic ingredients are Baking Soda, distilled white Vinegar and Dawn dish soap. Mix this in a spray bottle. It cleans glass nicely and leaves a fresh scent. For floors add one half cup vinegar to your water for a green cleaning mixture.

Green cleaning in the bathroom is also easy. Place one half cup Dawn dish soap in a bottle and fill with vinegar.

Green cleaning services use green products to clean homes and businesses, thus helping the environment in the long run. You'll find bloggers writing about green cleaning at Green Clean Mom and MommyisGreen.
