Clean Green and Frugally

I started this blog as a place for people to get real green clean tips from a normal person. I hate those bloggers with the "perfect" lives and "perfect" homes. I will be the first to say that house is not clean, but I am enjoy the precious time I have with my little one know that he is growing up way too fast!

I also want to share the cleaners I personally have tested. I have never liked the store bought cleansers. So after I moved out and starting buying them myself I decided there had to be a better way. After a few years, of looking a trying things I have found a few things you can't live with out.

Number 1: Laundry detergent
Number 2: Dishwasher detergent (if you have one)
Number 3: A spray cleanser
Number 4: A scrub (either powdered like comet/ajax or a paste like soft scrub)

I wanted green alternatives. I searched and tested. Finally I have found my four cleaners I can not live with out! To make it even better, these are recipes that I know with free up some money in your budget. They will also take about 30 minutes to make all and they are safe to use every day!

The laundry detergent is great, and since I started making it THREE years ago, I have yet to buy regular laundry soap. I have even given some away to skeptical friends.

Dishwasher detergent, works and we liked it, but we had too many problems with it. Maybe in a few months, or a year, I will try it again. We are really liking the Seventh Generation, even with our hard water we don't need a rinse aid anymore.

A good spray cleaner is something every home needs. I can't decide between the regular or the orange infused...

A good kitchen scrub, or all purpose scrub, is something everyone needs. I am loving the fresh summer sent of my orange peel scrub.


There you have it, my top four must have green cleaners. I hope you enjoy them! Do any of you use them? Do you like them? If so, what is your favorite thing about them?
