Let’s just say my cupboard is ‘light’ green

Really enjoying reading the website Green Clean (there’s also a book), about using non-toxic everyday substances (mostly baking soda, vinegar, and liquid soap) to make your own household cleaners.

I was already a fan of distilled white vinegar because we use cloth diapers and using vinegar in the rinse cycle (key word there: rinse) helps get out all the residual detergent, prolonging the life of the diapers and keeping them from getting stinky.

I had no idea it could be used to clean my windows and mirrors and declog a drain. I also like the recipes are simple enough for even me to put together without tearing my hair out. No mean feat. Another bonus: fewer products means fewer crap I have to find room for under my sink. Hallelujah!

Also looking for Linda Mason Hunter’s article (from the August 2007 issue of Better Homes and Gardens) on building a Green Supply Closet, if anyone has it.
