With spring in mind we came across this little website…

Here is a little taster…

All-purpose cleaner. Equal parts vinegar and water. The vinegar smell dissipates as soon as it dries, but if it bothers you add a few drops of lemon juice. Put into a spray bottle and use for almost all of your cleaning.

Windows and mirror cleaner. Pour a quarter of a cup of vinegar in a spray bottle, and fill the rest with with warm water. A bit of Eucalyptus oil rubbed on the mirrors will prevent them from fogging up.

Floor soap. Fill a bucket with warm or hot water, add a quarter of a cup of vinegar and a dash of castile soap. Dunk your rag in the bucket, ring out, and wipe down the floors.

There are some great ideas on how to spring clean your home in a green and environmentally friendly way.  They are also quite cheap ways which I’m sure Kim Woodburn and Aggie MacKenzie of ‘How Clean Is Your House?’ fame would approve!
