If every household in the US replaced just one bottle of 25 oz. petroleum based dishwashing liquid with one 25 oz vegetable based product, we could save 81,000 barrels of oil. Enough to heat and cool 4,600 homes for 1 year. Not only that, but you'll be keeping nasty chemicals out of your home and out of the drain. And with new green products popping up daily, prices on these "specialized" items are quickly becoming more affordable.
One to try: Seventh Generation- Betty reports back to us that it is available at our local Harris Teeter, and works great on dirty dishes!
Some other green cleaners:
Mrs. Meyers "All of our cleaning supplies are made with natural essential oils, are biodegradable and phosphate-free, and we never test on animals. Whether you use our All Purpose Cleaner (good for just about everything) our Dish Soap (cuts grease like nobody’s business), or any of our other cleaning supplies, you’ll find our products are good for your house, your nose, and the environment."
