Homemade Drain Cleaner without Baking Soda

I recently attended a “Garden Faire” and received some very helpful information from an organization called CleanWaterways.org.

They were handing out a brochure full of homemade recipes for cleaning products. The reason they provided the free recipes was that many household cleaning products contain hazardous chemicals.

These free recipes are great for cheapskaters as they all use very inexpensive ingredients and do not hurt our environment.
