liquid soap

Liquid soaps are a wonderful way to add extra cleaning power and fragrance to your cleaning products. I like Vermont Soaps because they are organic, gentle and effective. My favorite soaps for cleaning are the Country Lavender and Tea Tree. 

Recipe for general purpose cleaning:  You will only need to add a tablespoon or two to your mixture of vinegar and water and you have a household cleaner that leaves eveything smelling fresh and clean.

  • 1/4 cup of vinegar
  • 3/4 cup of water
  • 1 tablespoon of liquid castille soap
  • 2 drops essential oil

Mix ingredients in a spray bottle.  Best to recycle an old one and use a marker to indicate for general purpose cleaning.  You can add olive oil to this mixture to use on wood floors and furniture.

indoor air quality

17 studies on the link between green cleaning and productivity, documented a reduction in reported symptoms of asthma, flu, sick building syndrome, respiratory problems and headaches (an average improvement of 41 percent).

Sustainability starts with a switch. Not just with the changing of a light bulb or cleaning solutions, but with a fundamental shift in our stewardship of the earth’s resources—and how we regard our obligation to all life on the planet, now and for future generations.
