Answer 10

I use shaklee cleaning products. If you are willing to spend some money, shaklee has a starting kit you could purchase on their website, it is kind of expensive, but cheaper than buying all the products individually. look at what they have and what you would use. even their dryer sheets and cleaning wipes are recyclable. maybe instead of buying the whole starter kit you could just purchase a few things. their stuff is also very concentrated so you dont use a lot of it, one bottle of laundry detergent lasted me almost a year, and I do about two loads a week, sometimes three.
