If you use commercial cleaning products in your kitchen, STOP! They are expensive to buy and expensive to produce. You can make your own cleaner from a mixture of vinegar, salt and baking soda. It will clean perfectly, and it will contain no toxic chemicals, thereby helping the environment. It will cost a great deal less too.
Not convinced? Think about this... We dump some 32 million pounds of damaging toxins down our drains every year, just from household and kitchen cleaning products alone. What kind of damage do you think that is doing to the environment? Well, you don't have to do it anymore.
Here's a simple recipe for an all-purpose cleaner, courtesy of Greenpeace:
- ½ cup pure liquid soap (You can make your own by saving the ends of bars of soap in jar full of water. These will dissolve into your liquid soap.)
- 1 gallon hot water
- ¼ cup lemon juice
It's safe and effective, and costs very little.
