AnswerGirls' Online Column Includes Tips For Making Homemade Green Cleaning Products
Online, October 1, 2010 (Newswire.com) - This week Solutions, a new column from the AnswerGirls, focuses on saving money by making your own earth-friendly household cleaning products. For people on a budget, many commercially-made green products are simply too expensive. And, when the budget gets tight, the cheapest cleaner is often purchased instead. Making your own green cleaning products is the solution.
Most families already stock five of the seven necessary ingredients for making their own cleaning supplies - baking soda, salt, white vinegar, olive oil and lemon juice. Add a bottle of biodegradable dishwashing liquid and a box of Borax to your cupboard, and you can make two dozen earth-friendly household cleaning products.
This week's column includes a recipe for a green no-wax floor cleaner, explains how to make a simple earth-friendly paste for cleaning copper pan bottoms, and talks about how to remove that bitter taste from your automatic coffee maker. Solutions is published each Wednesday, and can be found at www.answergirls.com/solutions001092910.html.
The AnswerGirls also offer a down-loadable e-booklet, Living Green: Homemade Cleaning Supplies (AnswerGirls $1). It includes simple instructions on how to make 22 earth-friendly cleaning products. Save money, and the planet, by making your own green furniture polish, silver cleaner, faucet degrimer, soft and abrasive cleansers, plus 17 other common household cleaning products. Available exclusively from www.AnswerGirls.com.
