Making your own cleaning products

So many of the cleaning products on the market have dangerous ingredients in them. We thought we'd give you some ideas on making your own products out of safe ingredients.

For the sink try baking soda, add just enough dish soap to make a paste, and use a half of a lemon as a scrubber. This will leave your sink smelling great too.

On wood try a mixture of white vinegar and olive oil.

Remember that vinegar is a disinfectant - you can use it on almost any surface. If the smell bothers you, add a few drops of an essential oil.

To clear a clogged drain use 1 cup baking soda followed by 3 cups of boiling water.

No more worries about keeping the kids away from the cleaning supplies.
