Imagine there was a soap that you could use to clean everything from your dishes, to your bathtub, to your glass windows. There is; and it is the pure castile Organic Liquid Soaps (32oz) by Makes 3 Organics.

An all organic house cleaning product is a game changer. It is important we use organic cleaning products for many reasons, they help with reducing allergies because of chemical fragrances; they limit the release of cleaning chemicals; help the environment; and keep your home safer for visitors with sensitive skin and allergies.

Making your own cleaning products not only helps your home be fresh, clean and clear of toxins, it is also an economic way to clean. You will just need some other common household ingredients, storage jars and some spray bottles and you will be on your way!
