While I Big Puffy Heart Norwex, this post is NOT about that magical product, nor the similar e-cloth product. This is about making your own cleaners for that nice fresh clean. First, you need The Internets and a Search Engine.  Like Google. Type in "DIY home cleaners." Pick one.  GO. I'm partial to Clean Mama recipes .  She's brilliant. For my counters and appliances, I use this .  Or just Norwex.
