How to make my own organic cleaning products. by sjsuphilly

It took me

8 months

It made me

"This was totally worthwhile: it saved me money, made me feel better about saving the planet, and allowed me to be creative with it."

How I did it: I scoured websites, which I included links on my entries.  I picked a few "recipes" to make, gathered the ingredients, started concocting them, and got into the habit!

I no longer buy any glass cleansers, countertop cleaners, or laundry detergent.

I'm not sure how long this actually took me.  I just know that I didn't want to mark this as done until I repeatedly made my own detergent and cleaners.

Lessons & tips: Just try, try, again.

Resources: Borax, Arm & hammer washing soda, white vinegar, water, essential oils.
