Green Clean "Recipes"

All-Purpose Cleaner:
Simply mix equal parts vinegar and water.  Store in spray bottle.

Glass Cleaner:
1 c. rubbing alcohol
1 c. water
1 T. vinegar
Store in spray bottle

Carpet Freshener:
Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to baking soda.  Sprinkle on carpets, and let rest for a couple minutes.  Then vacuum.

Dishwasher Detergent:
1 c. baking soda
1 c. Borax
Store in sealed container.  Use a couple tablespoons, and use vinegar as "jet dry" to help prevent residue.

Dish Soap:
2 cups of Castile soap
1 tsp lemon juice or white vinegar
1/2 cup of warm water
Pour all ingredients into a cleaned out old dish soap bottle and shake until well combined. Give it another good shake before each use. The lemon juice or vinegar helps cut through the grease on your dishes.
