green cleaners

Most of the ones I've used require a little more work than the less eco-friendly ones, but I think it's well worth it to help keep our planet alive! Most of them also cause far fewer allergic reactions, which is a definite plus.

I have used a couple and I have also been taught from a young age that things like oranges and lemon make great cleaners in and of themselves... lemon juice even kills bacteria if I am not mistaken... for the longest time you have seen orange-scent this and lemon-scent that well it's not just for the scent it is also because they make a great cleaner. Now whether you should pay a little more for it is up to debate... if you are a 'green' person then yes maybe you should as far as I know they are not all that more expensive. I think that in the future a lot of the chemicals that are being used today are going to be phased out and most things we use are going to be 'green'. Thanks Zelo

I use Shaklee cleaners and they are excellent as well as being eco friendly. They seem like they cost more, but in reality, they are so concentrated that they cost less. Basic H2 is their all purpose cleaner. You put 1/4 tsp. in 16 oz. of water. So a bottle that has 16 oz. of concentrate will make three hundred eighty four bottles of cleaning solution at that dilution. For glass cleaner you make it twice as weak, for heavy duty grease make it twice as strong. I use the 1/4 tsp rate for everything, though. It saturates dirt and makes it easier to remove, is colorless and fragrance free. I do not necessarily love everything they make, but Basic H2 is my favorite, followed by a germicide Basic G. That is not so harmless, but it is effective, and I find that it is still preferable to bleach in everything. The laundry soap even makes my washing machine look cleaner each time I use it.

I haven't used any of the store bought green cleaners but whenever possible I use ordinary household products. I use vinegar for mold and baking soda and vinegar for cleaning out slow drains and also use them for different other things.

I have never even heard of green cleaners. What are they? I guess that country living keeps me a little out of things...as a matter of a fact, I don't thing I even own anything that would rate going to a cleaners...lol

No i do not think so couuld you give some brand names I tend to use lyso and chlorox what do you think of them what brands have you tried

I found the coolest book at the library with cleaners and baking and other things that are homemade and green. Its actually by Reader's Digest and is titled "Homemade How to make hundreds of everyday products you would otherwise buy" So far I've copied about 15 recipes/instructions out of it.

There are so many natural cleaners that I use them a lot around the home like lemon juice or vinegar and find them better than paying loads out for cleaners!
