Here is a website you might be interested in: http://www.melaleuca.com/ProductStore/ProductCategory.aspx?id=52 Their products are just as cheap and sometimes up to 30% cheaper than Walmart. If you like it let me know and I'll help you get a membership so you can buy what you like! My wife and I love this stuff! A friend of ours has a 2 yr old that drank the bathroom cleaner from Melaleuca and poison control told her not to worry about it. Her child never had any ill effects.

I had been cleaning with regular products for a while, but when I could still taste the bleach AFTER taking a shower, I knew I needed to do something different. I did all types of cleaning from residential to commercial, new construction and rental turnovers (which are pretty ick from the tenants..lol). The cleaners always worked great and all my customers were really happy with my work. I got several residential jobs just because of the all-natural cleaners. Sadly...all that work slowed down, first construction and then people had to tighten their budgets. Ah well. It was a GREAT experience and I still make all my cleaners for our home. :) I ran my own all-natural cleaning business for 4 years.

Because of it I now have switched to using more effective, natural, cleaners, for my windows, mirrors, floors, dishes, and washing machines. They smell fresher, and the money I save is unbelievable. I think everyone could do a service by cutting down some of the harsh chemicals in thier lives. Thank you. Thank you so much for this article.

Now I know better and have started to use homemade solutions. Always looking for another idea. Thanks!
