Green-ish

I've been trying really hard the last two years to be more green in the cleaning department.  I *try* to use Seventh Generation laundry detergent, but to be honest it's a lot more economical to snag free detergent from my parents house!  I've been using Method cleaners in my kitchen and to wipe down my bathroom sink. I'm also using Clorox Green products to wash the floors.

I actually haven't tried any of the Meyers products but that is on my to-do list.  

But through my efforts, my nemesis is the bathroom.  Method cleaners do not do anything to soap scum or dirt in my tub.  Also, the green toilet bowl cleaner doesn't get rid of the ring around the bowl without a heavy amount of scrubbing,and even with scrubbing this week I had to splash a little bleach in to get it clean.

Also, my tub has been backing up a bit.   Chrissy (via Jen her sister) recommended a green alternative of using vinegar and baking soda to clear out the clog. After several attempts, nothing really happened.  So I bought Draino and 10 minutes later the water was flowing smoothly.

Yes, spending $6 was way better than $200 I spent last year to have a plumber come in, but now I have environmental guilt about it!
