My sister-in-law Gretchen had a Green Cleaning product party at her house the other night. No, she didn't make us clean her house... that'd be her husband Tieg who gets to do that. She had a few of us over to learn how to make green (safe!) cleaning products out of simple ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, distilled water, Dr. Bronner's natural soap and essential oils. A friend of hers took a class and shared the handout with recipes, so she decided to throw a party and teach us how to do it. What a party it was! Check out the buckets full of containers to store our newly made cleaning supplies! My favorite was the soft-scrub type cleanser. My sink has never been so clean or smelled quite so nice.
If anyone's interested, I can share the recipes. We made the soft-scrub, a counter spray/window wash, carpet deoderizer and a toilet bowl cleaner.

This is a super cool idea. I'd like to have a party like this or what I really mean is I'd love to be invited to somebody else's house who did all the work to put this party together!
And yes, please DO share the recipes. I made a few green-clean products one holiday to give as gifts (I think you've inspired me to post that pitiful story).
Cheers,
Tracey
What an awesome idea for a party! I'd also love the recipes.
Hello, City Farm Girl,
I love your father's day collage below and the recipes for rhubarb as well as the green cleaning products. Please, do share the recipes!
Thanks,

Hey wife,
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for because all the Angolan cleaning products are super perfumey and gross. I know I can make a disinfectant spray with grapefruit seed extract (20 drops to a quart of water) and make it smell nice and be even more disinfectant with some lavender or tea tree oil, but that's about as far as I have gotten. So yes, recipes please!
S.
