How to Make Common Household Cleaners Naturally

From chemicals in our homes to polluting the environment, we are in need of finding non-toxic solutions. Chemicals are found in everyday cleaning products and over time the exposure can lead to cancer and affect pre existing illnesses. This is why it is important to switch to non-toxic and Environmentally friendly cleaners.  Natural cleaners still fight dirt and germs just like their chemical counterparts. I’m going to list recipes for the top 5 household products we all use every day.  You may already find some ingredients in your home, or you can easily pick them up at your local grocery and natural foods store.
