These are great ideas, I definitely need to look into the Skoy clothes. One thing I wanted to share is to let everyone know that if you are looking for safe skin & body products, Ava Anderson Non-toxic is a company that is based on producing products without harmful ingredients. They can be found on the cosmetics database showing a score of only 0 - 1. Check out our website at www.avaandersonnontoxic/kathleenforava. While some "natural" brands have safe & unsafe products in their line, what I like about Ava Anderson is that all their products are safe to use. If you're interested in switching over to non-toxic products, email me at kathleenforava@gmail.com for more info. Thanks, Kathleen

Whip sounds ok but the prices on their site are quite expensive, last year some local Phoenix carpet cleaners did a shampoo job on my whole house for half that price. And the carpets still look brand new!

I am probably the single biggest critic regarding household cleaners claiming to be "green" & stating all kinds of results, but none have the ability to live up to hard stain removal like a product I recently purchased called Whip-It Earth Friendly Miracle Cleaner http://trywhipit.com by Whip It Inventions.
I had my doubts about this product for the use of the following two words together..."Miracle Cleaner http://trywhipit.com ." I mean seriously, are we overpromising? So, I took the liberty to take this on and put this product to the true test. I went ahead and spilled wine, chocolate sauce, magic marker, mustard and ink on a pair of old khaki pants to see if this "miracle" solution really works. I have to say that this product is fantastic and by far the best i have seen in the "green/natural" category. From the point of contact from the solution hitting the stains, you could actually see solution breaking down the stains immediately. On the website, the pitchman shows a demonstration which is pretty impressive, but I had to try it myself. On the website (trywhipit.com http://trywhipit.com ) there is a video of the cleaner knocking out some serious stains in just a few strokes, including spray paint out of carpet. I couldn't resist the temptation to see if this could actually remove such a hard stain like spray paint. I went to the garage and took a can of Rustolium Red Enamel and sprayed it on a piece of light beige carpet. I let the paint dry, and I waited a few minutes before I conducted the test. After spraying Whip-It on the carpet, it took only a few strokes using a light kitchen brush and the stains were vanished. I then took used motor oil, mustard and chocolate syrup, and again it removed the stains. What I found to be most impressive is that this cleaner claims to be completely non-toxic cleaner http://trywhipit.com and the MSDS sheet on their website backs this up. Its smells different than all of the other green cleaners I have smelled; it has a refreshing eucalyptus scent.
Ok, there are two main websites to purchase this cleaner. One has a great offer, the other is retails the product for almost twice as much. Trywhipit.com http://Trywhipit.com is offering a $19.95 package (which includes a 32 oz bottle of concentrate, a professional sprayer and two kitchen Original Shammys) and the corporate site (amazingwhipit.com http://amazingwhipit.com <http: amazingwhipit.com=""> ) costs about twice as much for a 32 oz bottle concentrate at $38 . Stick with trywhipit.com <http: trywhipit.com=""> <http: trywhipit.com=""> .
Happy Cleaning Everyone!

Great list! I think Ecominders are great -- if every home had these around the house, surely a lot will be conserved, preserved, reused and recycled! I'm starting my own at home =)

Keep on posting these reliable article with full of interesting information and ideas. Have you tried to acquire the stainless steel latch tiffin or the pyramid tiffin at Happy Tiffin (http://www.happytiffin.com)? Well, its super amazing and convenient to use because you can transport lots of food in a one handy container. Plus, its very eco-friendly, many people had proven the container's benefits. And you know what? You can return it when you're not satisfied with the product and can get your refund but it must be return everything in perfect condition within the allotted time. =D
