One of the things I really don't like doing is cleaning. All the fuss and two days later you have to do it again!
But what I really hate about cleaning is the harsh cleaning detergents. So I have been looking for a while for alternatives.
Here are a couple of articles and website that can help you make cleaning a little healthier for yourself, your pets and the environment.

This website gives you a lot of easy recipes for making your own cleaning products with basic ingredients you already have in your kitchen cabinet. One of my favorites is using baking soda as a scouring powder and baking soda and vinegar for slow moving drains: http://www.ecocycle.org/hazwaste/recipes.cfm

I have ordered my laundry detergent for years with this company: http://www.sunandearth.com/ I really like the detergent, you only have to use a little bit and it smells good!
