When it comes down to it, do-it-yourself cleaning using Grandma’s tried-and-true kitchen cupboard ingredients is still the best  practice. Simple, successful and natural. Anecdotal evidence indicates that our Granny was a lot wiser with our environment than we think.
Not only was Granny’s Spring cleaning low on pollution, they were low on cost and extremely effective, compared to the mass produced chemicals we see on the supermarket shelves today.
