Cheap and Green Ways to Clean Your House

White distilled vinegar, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide are the three most important cleaning agents in your cupboard.  I have listed a few things that I use these items for but there are literally hundreds of ways you can use them. Basically if any cleaning needs to be done I turn to baking soda, vinegar and hydrogen peroxide first.  There are many benefits to using these items for cleaning but my favorite is that I don't worry about my 3 yr. old daughter getting into it and she can help me clean!

I reused shampoo bottles and a Febreze bottle.  I have straight vinegar, straight hydrogen peroxide and two bottles of vinegar and water for windows and counters.  I am using up all of the store bought cleaning products and when they are gone I don't plan to buy anymore.  Eventually this will be the only cleaning supplies we use. I also use olive oil on my wood table.  A lady in an antique store in Houston, TX gave me that tip over ten years ago.
