About Miscellaneous Cleaners

When evaluating cleaners, important environmental considerations include toxicity, whether or not the product is biodegradable, if it contains petroleum distillates, and the recyclability of its packaging. These product choices get a thumbs up in every category. For everyday household projects, try making your own cleaner using two teaspoons white vinegar to one quart of warm water. Apply with a cotton towel or other soft cloth.
