That these concoctions just happen to be "green" alternatives is a terrific bonus. All of these solutions should be mixed thoroughly in an appropriate container (spray bottle or other con- tainer with a tightly fitting lid), labeled clearly and kept out of the reach of children. See below for how you can get my "Cheapskate Solutions" book- let, which includes hundreds of recipes for household cleaning, health and beauty, garden and craft solutions.
