GREEN TIPS Pure soap is a good general-purpose cleaner which is completely biodegradable. use it on the dishes

baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a good multi-purpose cleaner, deodoriser and fabric-softener. use it instead of harsh chemical commercial productsadd salt to pure soap for extra scrubbing power. To make a natural air freshener spray, dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda in 2 cups of hot water and add a teaspoon of lemon juice.

Vinegar is a mild disinfectant and can also be used to clean glass. Dilute it first! eucalyptus oil is a disinfectant and also removes ink and grease stains.
