Hello everyone, This week on My Path to Green, I made some non-toxic cleaning products from things I already had in my kitchen (well I had to get the lavender oil). My guide this week was Annie Bond and her "5 Simple Alternatives to Toxic Cleaning Products". At first I was not sure that these would be as effective, but Annie's article really helped me let go of some of the myths I believed about cleaning. I tried my hand at 3 of the cleaners she suggested:
  • Baking Sodan
  • White Vinegar + Lemon Juicen
  • Mold Killer & Disinfectantn
nThese were super easy and I especially love how the lavender smells after I'm done cleaning.nnnJust joining me? See My Path to Green from the beginning.nnI am taking small steps in my life to to help our planet. If you are too, then share your stories with us.
