In the last episode of the Vegetarian Zen podcast, we shared information about why conventional household cleaners are so bad (for us and for the environment) and offered some tips for making cleaning more environmentally friendly and less hazardous to health. In this episode, we’ll be talking specifically about making your own cleaning products, including what some of the typical ingredients in homemade cleaning products are, as well as some dos and don’ts.
