On bleach
Someone asked me today why I recommend staying away from bleach. As a mother of 3, she’s been keeping the house clean with bleach and using it to keep her kids from infection. So what’s the big deal? In fact, I have plenty of friends who use bleach for a variety of cleaning and disinfecting [...]

My local supermarket carries a few types of organic produce and dairy, but to get a good selection I have to drive [...]
Our friend vinegar
Natural cleaning folks and the green-minded have known for ages that vinegar is an important cleaning agent. You can use it as a disinfectant, fabric softener, all purpose and glass cleaner, the list goes on. But I was pleasantly surprised (as well as entertained) by what I found at Joey Green’s Wacky Uses website. [...]
