Your Green Kitchen Cleaning Kit
By Annie B. Bond
People who enter a naturally cleaned home tend to love the way they feel. I hear this over and over again. I think it is because natural cleaning ingredients infuse the space with their subtle scents and natural, non-toxic presence. On some level, our bodies must brace themselves for a chemical onslaught when faced with mainstream cleaners. What better time of year to make your kitchen feel great and welcoming than when preparing for all the festive holiday cooking? Here are my best eight kitchen cleaning formulas:
Most people can’t believe how incredibly well this Oven Cleaner works until they try it.
Although I never recommend that people use their cutting boards to cut meat, bacteria does grow on them nonetheless and keeping them clean using this DIY Cutting Board Cleaner makes sense for any healthy kitchen.
I spent time at the house of a friend who has stainless steel appliances, figuring out how to best formulate this Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner. Her kitchen appliances are sparkling clean as a result!
Here is my all-time favorite formula, great for cleaning porcelain or stainless sinks,
countertops, and more, my Homemade Soft Scrubber.
Read the interesting story behind this DIY Window Cleaner.
Set a table with sparkling silver using this Silver Cleaner.
Polishing up brass using kitchen cupboard ingredients is as easy as cutting a lemon or squirting out some ketchup. Try these Brass and Pewter Natural Shine Cleaners.
How about drinking in some of the fragrant source of the holiday scented air freshener? Try Holiday Mulled Cider Air Freshener.

I too agree with Susan Carter it would be alot easier to refer back to this page when you are in the middle of cleaning and it would be more effective for all of us.

I agree about the issue of the links. However; I am just SOOO glad some one put all this together for us! I am going to cut and paste on one sheet, make it look cute, print it out and may be include it with my Christmas cards as a sort of "New Years" resolution gift.

I half agree with Susan Carter and Barbara G.
still provide the links for the rest of us, but a PDF file would be nice for those who prefer that.
By the way- I love using Citrasolve products made with citrus-- Smells awesome with no harmful ingredients.
I am fortunate to have a Wegman's store in my area that provides a good selection of eco-friendly house cleaning, bathing, dishwashing, furniture polishing, etc, products. They even have a non-chemical veggie wash for cleaning produce before eating.
If you have a Wegman's grocery store in your area, these products can be found in thier Organic section.
