I've been using these same recipes for years ... Mrs. B
This is really nice to have thank you for the info.
Thanks for your comment and I will have to return to your blog also. I see some great info on here. I'm honored to have a comment from someone with a recipe in a GBP cookbook too! That deal at Christian Books.com was the best I've ever seen on GBPs. Evidently it was part of a set because the one I ordered was #8. It has some great info in it.
Thanks for sharing these. I really like homemade cleaners because not only do they save you money, but if you're like me and have severe allergies, they don't make you sneeze with synthetic fragrances!
