What’s the best way to know — I mean really know — you’re scrubbing that floor with an unadulterated, tried-and-true non-toxic product? By making it yourself, of course. Whether you’re a DIY devotee or a scrupulous participant in eco-living (or, at best, both), hosting a Green Cleaning [1] party may be in your not so distant future.

On March 20th, Women’s Voices for the Earth [2] will launch their national Green Cleaning party initiative to provide wanna-be-green cleaners around the world with the tools for staging chemi-free cleaning concoction get-togethers. Pledge to host a gathering and they’ll arm you with an arsenal of instructions for turning basic household supplies into safe, effective agents of clean.
