What's an easy, eco-friendly habit that could help families save money?
Mindy MacLaren
An easy, eco-friendly and FUN habit that helps save money is to make your own household cleaning products. With pantry items like baking soda and white vinegar, Castile soap, and essential oils you can make inexpensive cleaners that are safe for you, your family, and the planet. I find that using an essential oil such as Lemon, which has a sunny aroma, even makes cleaning fun! And, it's a great family activity too!What's a great cleaning product you've discovered?

Along with a lot of the other answers, I like vinegar as a base for my cleaning products. It can kill 82% of mold species as well as remove dirt, soap scum, you name it. I also love baking soda for natural scrubbing power, and I always turn to Lemon essential oil. It is a fabulous degreaser (I have seen it remove tomato sauce from white carpet!), dusting agent and addition to wood cleaning. It is also antibacterial and a great air freshener. I really love using products that leave my home clean and me feeling good!|
