I have actually been on...I am with you 100 percent. I have actually been on the "green" kick for quite some time now. Over a year ago, I went through my cabinets and threw away all household cleaners with ingredients I couldn't pronounce and didn't recognize. I now rely on baking soda, borax soap, vinegar, and peroxide to do all my cleaning. I only use bleach for my toilets because of the stains the well water leaves. However, I am looking for an alternative to that as well. Be on the lookout for chemicals in your laundry detergent. That "fresh" scent is created from pthalates (I believe that is spelled correctly). An unscented formula with a plant-based solution is best. I have done ALOT of research on the subject, so if you ever want a suggestion I would be more than happy to help you in your efforts to "go green". PS. vinegar can be used as a fabric softener and baking soda a whitener for your clothes! and no, they don't end up smelling like vinegar :)everyday musings of a stay-at-home momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110794374024387486noreply@blogger.com
