I’ve done some reading and experimenting at home and found a way to further reduce the toxic impact of house cleaners. I purchased a package of plastic spray bottles at Costco. I have one with vinegar and water, one with peroxide and water, and a third with club soda. Reusing the container is greener than purchasing new product and containers. For “scouring” I buy the large baking soda bags at Costco. To dispense, I re-used old grated Parmesan cheese containers with the holes in the top. (Don’t buy that kind of cheese anymore- buy organic block cheese and grate it fresh.) Fresh lemons and tea tree oil round out the cleaning brigade. No fragrance is less toxic and less allergic. Have found the cost is almost free. To scrub the sink, I sprinkle coarse salt and use 1/2 a lemon as a “scrubbing pad”. Sink gleams and smells wonderful. Can use the lemon in the compost pile or can run the garbage disposal to freshen the drain.
