Non-Toxic Cleaners


Many of the cleaners that we use around our houses are quite toxic. It's really easy to make our own non-toxic cleaners with stuff that most of us have around.

Glass Cleaner
Equal parts white vinegar and water. Pour into a spray bottle. Use a clean rag and wipe off with clean newspapers.
