Save money, be healthier, and be friend with the environment

Recession or no recession, some ideas are great ideas no matter what the economic climate or your personal financial situation is. Today our money saving tip objectives are:

save you money;
simplify your life;
make your house a healthier place to live in for your and your family, especially if you have kids;
make the entire planet a better place to live in.

If you were to count how many cleaning products you have in the house, from kitchen cleaners to glass cleaners, how many different products do you have? If you are like the average US household you have 27 different cleaning products. How much do those 27 different cleaning products cost you in the span on one year? Hundreds of dollars for sure.
If you really want to get scared, how many of those products are ’safe’ in the sense that they have no consequences if touched or ingested? Picture your kitchen countertop and the warning label on the cleaning product you use to clean it: chances are that sooner or later someone will place a sandwich on that very same countertop: what are you feeding your family?

We are not suggesting you to become and alchemist with a cauldron and make your own soaps, or set up a chemical lab in your basement; Karen Logan has done the work for you, and has put together what we call a recipe book for making your own natural and safe cleaning products for your house, using easily available ingredients like vinegar and lemon juice. Her Clean Home Clean Planet book is a must for everyone either concerned about saving money or living healthier or both, and simplify one’s life in the process.
