Veggie Cleaner Spray (Julia Robert’s and green guru Sophie Uliano, author of Gorgeously Green .)
If you can’t buy organic produce, you need to make sure you wash it thoroughly. Use this spray to make sure your fruit and vegetables are squeaky clean. Combine all ingredients in a large container. Then, transfer to a spray bottle with a pump. Spray mixture on produce, and rinse thoroughly after 5 to 10 minutes.
INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup distilled white vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. baking soda
• 20 drops of grapefruit seed extract
  

Streak-free window cleaner (Sandra Bullock’s recipe)

• mixes three tablespoons of vinegar
• 1/3 teaspoon of pure liquid vegetable soap (like castile soap )
• two cups of water in a recycled spray bottle

Hmm. Does Sandra Bullock really do her own windows?

hmm that is interesting. I wonder how much better that is than just vinegar and water (for both recipes)

Also, what the heck does grapefruit seed oil do besides make it more costly (same goes with the pure liquid vegetable soap)?

I just use vin and water for cleaning.

yeah, me, too! That's why I was wondering about the expensive additions...other than making it more "elite-y". Is that a word...I think not. Oh well, I just have a serious problem with Oprah's "frugal" or "green" hints/products. They always entail buying something expensive--or too expensive for my tastes.

no kidding, grapefruit seed extract? Where would you even find that. I don't think they had that back on Little House on the Prairie.
