CHEAP CLEANING SOLUTIONS
Some of the best and safest cleaners around are also some of the cheapest. You can use baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice for cleaning and household purposes. Another great product which I use is Basic H by Shaklee. I love it because it is very inexpensive for all the cleaners it makes - window cleaner, all-purpose and degreaser. I have had the same concentrated bottle for a year and still have lots left to make up all three individual cleaners previously mentioned. If you want to know more about Shaklee or Basic H, look no further than www.shaklee.net/sharonharris
