With a need to save money and also for environmental reasons, more and more people are making their own cleaning products.

This is your chance to share your knowledge if you have a great tip or use for this product, or get some tips of your own to make sure you get the best results possible.
Here are the uses and recipes utilizing this common ingredient that have been submitted so far. Please note that if you're looking for the greenest ways to clean all of these recipes can use natural soap, such as liquid castile soap, instead of soaps derived from petroleum based products.
