Household Cleaning Products That Keep Our Water Supply Clean
Many of our household cleaning products are dirtying up our water supply. There are several eco-friendly items already in your home that can be used as effective cleaners.
Try one of these cost effective/readily available products.
Thanks for the comprehensive list! One of my favorite tricks for cleaning the microwave: fill a bowl of water, add lemon juice, and then heat on high until boiling. Ten minutes later when I open the microwave door, the steam has collected and soaked the stains and food particles. Takes 2 minutes or less to wipe (not scrub!) out the debris and I don't have to worry about ingesting chemicals, the next time I zap something!:)
