Cleaning Green
Feb 9, 2010


I dislike cleaning. You could say I abhor cleaning especially with commercial products. I was frustrated how I just did not feel like I was doing a good job cleaning. I could not get dirt off with commercial products and I felt I was wasting my time and energy. Being a busy mom, realtor, wife, woman, etc., I thought: "This is ridiculous being so frustrated over something that should be so simple and a part of keeping my family healthy." So, I did what I am great at doing; I did research. I hunted down web sites and rented books in search for easy cleaning products that would get the job efficiently and healthy to boot for my family.

My research found Better Basics for The Home by Annie Berthold-Bond. Boy, out of this massive book I found some simple, easy cleaning products that I can mix together in matter of minutes and have ready and waiting for me that uses in essence Vinegar and Water. Yes, Vinegar and Water are the major ingredients; but, you need to read the book to find what else there to create such powerful cleaning products.

Yes, I'm trading convenience of picking up products to making my own; but, you know I will not go back. My home especially my bathrooms and kitchen are so much cleaner. I am amazed of the power of Vinegar as a cleaning agent. Give it a try. You will be putting together ingredients that are not only non hazardous and environmentally friendly, but also save you money down the line. It won't replace actually cleaning; but, you will see progress where before there was just frustration.
