Julie Massey, an agent for the Galveston County Master Gardeners group, launched the 'Mix It Yourself Cleaning Kit' and guidebook. This kit is available online at the Galveston County Master Gardeners website. Included in the kit is a set of instructions on how to create a safe cleaning solution for each at-home cleaning task.
Each recipe included in the kit is non-toxic and pet-safe, including all-natural ingredients such as vinegar, water, baking soda, salt, and lemon juice. These are common household items that most consumers already have in their fridge or cupboard. The Mix It Yourself cleaning kit is available for free online in a downloadable format, but the ingredients must be acquired separately.
This cleaning kit is an excellent way to engage children in common household practices while teaching them about mixing recipes and the active properties of ingredients such as lemon juice and baking soda.
