I did not know that there were organic cleaners and not having a lot of money to start with I normally buy the cheaper cleaners on the market. The toxic ones. I just went and read the bottles and was just thrown. I need to ask though. Are organic cleaners comparatively priced to the cheap 'dollar store' variety? I'd love to be green but I don't have a lot of money. I technically live below the poverty line and I am a full time college student, single mom of two. Hi Surprised Mama, thanks for stopping by OrganicMania! Actually, you can be green and clean for even less money than you would spend buying regular cleaners. All you need is some white vinegar, baking soda, and a spray bottle. Check out this link with great how-tos for making your own cleaners: http://www.metrokc.gov/HEALTH/asthma/facts/greencleaning.htm And godspeed to you, it must be hard - I was raised by a single Mom and lived on what we used to call "the wrong side of the railroad tracks" (Literally) so i know how hard it can be. Hang in there. You sound like you're really trying to do the right things. -- Lynn I just found this article today while looking for ways to get my kids involved in helping me clean the house.

For everything else it's vinegar, baking soda or the occasional "green" all purpose spray. :) I like the 7th Generation toilet cleaner.

My littlest one does not even pick up the seat. So, you know how many times I have sat in you know what? I think it is great you are teaching your son! This is a priceless story. Thanks! It helps to have a sense of humor, doesn't it? -- Lynn Do you think this argument will work on my teenage boys? My littlest one does not even pick up the seat.

We use Mrs. Meyer's geranium scented toilet bowl cleaner. Can webs be any color?! OK, I am going to be laughing about that one all day. We use Mrs. Meyer’s geranium scented toilet bowl cleaner.
