I knew about using vinegar for cleaning. Didnt know you can use lavendar oil and tea oil which is awesome!

But can you elaborate more on how to use baking soda to clean things? Do i add it in the vinegar bottle?

do I use it in replacement for ajax/comet/bon ami cleaners?

I too use white vinegar for cleaning almost everything around the house – just put it in a spray bottle and aim. But…. I read somewhere that the generic white vinegars are made with a petroleum base. Does anyone know the truth about this? Until then, I guess I shall just use name brand, which specifically states what it is made of.???????

Hi loved your article about the green holiday meals. Yes Chris you can compost in the winter, I use a gallon glass container in the kitchen for veggie scraps then put them in a 5 gallon container on the enclosed back porch and when that is full I dump it into the large 3 bins composter we have near the garden. The bucket does freeze, as we do have snow so I just pour boiling water in to it. If your copost is active it will heat up even in the winter or just wait and start up in the spring, so worth the efffort to put fresh composted soil into your garden and it’s free!

I find that vinegar cleaners work great for just about everything, and usually vinegar is a better disinfectant than anything I could get at the store (and cheap cheap cheap). I have yet to find a recipe for dishwashing detergent that works with hard water (which we have), but the recipes you can find for laundry work great with any water type. And, of course, compost absolutely everything you can, and recycle absolutely everything you can.

I like the idea of composting. However, how does it work in the winter? Do you toss it on top of the ice and snow?
