Homemade Does Not Equal Green

There is a distinction, of course, between homemade cleaning products, and green cleaning products.

Not all of the supplies listed above are green, but they are commonly found in your home, work on a wide variety of places, and are generally inexpensive.

Cleaning Equipment

In addition to these cleaning products and other household supplies, you will also need plastic buckets, spray bottles, rags and sponges, among other cleaning equipment if you want to make your own cleaning products.
