“Green” Cleaning Options

Many of the products that are used for common household cleaning are toxic and bad for the health of your family.  The Oregon Environmental Council has published a pamphlet (down-loadable at their site) with common solutions to household cleaning that are “biodegradable and non-toxic”.  Here are a few of the solutions, with the rest online:

Window Cleaner

1/4 cup white vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon liquid soap or detergent, 2 cups water combined in a bottle.  Shake to mix.

Unclog Drains

Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda in and around the drain opening.  Follow with a cup of white vinegar. Flush with boiling water.  Repeat if necessary.
