Sometimes all these new recipes can seem a little daunting to get started
with. I thought I would translate this floor cleaner into the way I do it. I
fill up my mop bucket with water to mop with, then a squeeze of dishwashing
liquid from the kitchen sink, and then if I want a little something more I
will turn the essential oil bottle that comes with a dropper opening into
the bucket and count to about 20. Sometimes I use orange, but peppermint or
lavender are good too. You can also buy essential oils of lemon and pine if
those are your preferred clean smells. All of these also act as
disinfectants.

I clean almost exclusively with vinegar, baking soda, and liquid dish
detergent. Sometimes I use peroxide too.

I do still use Tide for my laundry, but no softener other than a little
vinegar in the rinse. We have really hard water where I live or I might give
home made laundry detergent a try. Besides, as a totally blind mom of three
boys, I think Tide keeps a lot of our clothes stain free.

If you are interested in using more green cleaners it is probably easier to
just start with one thing at a time. It can be overwhelming to jump into
everything at once.
