Clearners and Swine flu

[Guest guest]

LET us all hope that people do go green. I have not used a commercial cleaner

in my house since 1983. I do use 7th generation products in the unscented

formulations, bon ami, baking soda and vinegar and water, etc. What is wrong

with people that they will go green for their pets but not for themselves?

Be good and smart everyone, I live in TX so for the next few days, I am staying

at home until this Flu gets sorted out. Don't go out unless you have to. I

think we will start seeing more and more cases and quickly.

Subject: [ ] Cleaning with Vinegar

Dear and other good souls of Pastor Doug's Xolair list:

I am seconding your endorsement of vinegar for cleaning. Another

advantage is that it's safer for our pets, who walk on freshly washed

floors and then lick their paws, picking up residues of the cleanser.

The current issue of a newsletter published by the College of

Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University advises using vinegar.

Best wishes to everybody.
