One of the most common questions we get is about natural cleaning products. Listed below are links to recipes for creating your own cleaning products if you are up to it! I personally like to clean much of my house with a mixture of vinegar, tea tree oil, water and a bit of a castile soap mixed in a spray bottle. Feel free to add your own links or recipes to the comment area!
