Environmentally Friendly Cleaners: Follow Up

A while ago, I reported about environmentally friendly cleaning supplies that I made.  I have finished evaluating them, and wanted to give a follow-up on each of the cleaners. 

All Purpose

The all purpose cleaner worked very well overall.  It is an excellent substitute for store-bought cleaner, and has much less of an environmental impact.  Because it’s fairly easy to make, it can be considered a practical, cleaner alternative to store-bought, chemical-based cleaners.  If you don’t want to take the time to make the cleaner, a store-bought, natural cleaner, such as Green Works brand, would be a good alternative.

Air Freshener

The air freshener did not work as well.  In fact, it was mostly like spraying water into the air.  I would recommend adding more than just one teaspoon of lemon juice, as it is relatively a small amount of what is put into the total product.  Instead, I would look into at least one or two more teaspoons, and will be trying this later on.

Glass Cleaner

The glass cleaner works very well overall as well.  Being as it is easy to make, and all natural, it qualifies as practical sustainability.  If you want to avoid the work of making the cleaner, I recommend an all-natural product from the store.
