Household Hints - Cleaning Hints - Making Your Own Natural Cleaners

Many families are making their own natural, organic cleaners to replace the harmful chemical varieties they've used for years. Why? Making your own simple cleaners is not only healthier for you, your family, and your pets, but it's better for the environment. Here are two of my favorite resources for natural cleaning recipes, and all of these are FREE recipes:

Household Hints - Natural Cleaning Tips - Baking Soda Cleaner

One of my very favorite natural, non-toxic cleaners that you can find right in your own pantry is baking soda. Of course, there are many uses for cleaning with baking soda (many of my favorites are listed at: Baking Soda Uses on HappySlob.com) but one very easy use you can try right away is to replace your harsh, chemical powdered cleansers with good old baking soda.

It's especially great for cleaning out pots and pans, scrubbing the bathtub, or cleaning out sinks. Just sprinkle the baking soda on, scrub it with a scrubby sponge, and rinse away the gunk and goo. :) It'll look great!
