Once again, sheer oversight had some great things just missing the book. Here they are:


Here are a few great green cleaning recipes you may not have yet -

Shoe Polish – A touch of olive oil

Tub and Tile cleaner – 1/2 cup water + 2/3 cup baking soda + 1/2 cup liquid soap (dr bronners works well) + 2 tablespoons vinegar

Window cleaner – 1 quart spray bottle with water & 3 tablespoons vinegar

Kitchen cleanser – Baking soda on non-scratch surfaces, 4 tablespoons vinegar & 1 cup water on scratchable surfaces.

Instead of paper napkins – make or buy cloth napkins.

Instead of paper towels – use cloth kitchen towels, get or make a bunch of cloth towels, wash as needed.
