Grocery List for Healthy Cleaning

Keep these essentials in stock to keep your home safe and spotless.

You can get just about everything you need for healthy cleaning at the grocery store without ever wandering down the commercial cleaning aisle. Here's a shopping list from cleaning expert Mary Findley, president of Mary Moppins Cleaning System:

• 1 gallon white vinegar



• 1 bottle rubbing alcohol



• 1 large box baking soda



• 1 gallon distilled water



• Ivory liquid dishwashing detergent



• An oxygen-based cleaning product like Bio-Ox (www.bio-ox.com)



• Nature's Miracle (found at most pet stores or in the pet aisle)



• Foaming shaving cream



• Hydrogen peroxide (in the first-aid aisle)



• Also pick up three or four spray bottles. Use each bottle for the make-your-own cleaning products listed above.
