CONFESSIONS from the Lodge

They say confession is good for the soul. So, today, I'm coming clean.
Deep breath, now: We haven't bought laundry detergent in over 2 years.
Wait, wait, it's not that we've given up doing laundry, it's the fact that we've been making our own detergent. There, I've confessed, I feel better already!
Now, why would anyone want to do that, you ask? For us, we do it for several reasons.
1. IT WORKS GREAT! I don't care how cheap, green, or politically correct something is, if it doesn't work, why bother?
2. CHEAPER! I can make 3 batches of my own detergent for less than 1 box of store brand detergent.
3. NO MYSTERY INGREDIENTS. I know exactly what's in there, because I put it in, myself. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, as I do, this is a HUGE Plus!
4. No toxic, polluting ingredients! Nothing to harm our septic system or the ground water supply.
5. It's safe to use with High Efficiency Washers!

Wow, this confessing feels great! Here's another:
We make our own cleaning products as well!
Uh-huh, that's right! We make our own soft scrub, all-purpose cleaner, furniture polish, fabric softener, etc!

Call us "GREEN", it would be an honor!  I call us "SMART". 
If you'd like to be "GREEN AND SMART" as well, visit our store, today.  You can download the "recipes" for all our cleaning products and try them for yourself!
