Be Safe, Be Green and Save Money. Non-Toxic Home Cleaning

Today's modern home is loaded with toxic and polluting substances designed to make domestic life easier.

The cost of these commercial, chemical-based products can be high -- long term health concerns for the family, and environmental pollution caused by their manufacture and disposal. In the US, for example, 1 in 3 people suffer from allergies, asthma, sinusitis or bronchitis (US National Center for Health Statistics). Treatment for these conditions should include reducing synthetic chemicals in the home environment.

For many home-cleaning chores, you can make your own cleaning products using the formulas listed below.

I am surprised that they didn't mention toothpaste a silver cleaner. With coupons, one can get a tube of toothpaste for nothing with a good sale. BTW, use paste for silver, not gel toothpaste.
