One of the best ways to save both the environment and my budget was to save on household cleaners. I have written before about using vinegar and lemons both as cleaning agents. Today as we think of ways to save I wanted to share some recipes that make sense and save cents as well.
A Great All Purpose Cleaner
- one part water
- one part white vinegar
A Good Non Abrasive Cleaner
- one part lemon juice
- one part baking soda
Make a paste and use and sponge to clean.
