Green Cleaning

Dana at Old Red Barn Co. posted these recipes for green cleaners last month. I just found them via Blue Yonder. Both are great blogs as well - check them out!
Here are the recipes...

Glass Cleaner
2 parts vinegar to 1 part distilled water. Sometimes I add some antiseptic essential oil such as lemon, lavender or tea tree. Oh, three or four drops.

All Purpose Cleaner
2 teaspoons Borax
20 oz of distilled water
10 oz vinegar
2 drops of your favorite dish soap
A few drops of essential oils if you wish

Scrubby stuff
A box of Borax
A box of baking soda
A few drops of essential oil -- here my favorite is lemon and rosemary

I'm going to try them as well as cloth wipes with my cloth diapering... I suppose I should update on how all of that sort of baby stuff is going... soon. very soon.
On a related note - if anyone has any wisdom/tips that involve essential oils let me know, it's an area I haven't explored but am going to.
