The next time you're shopping at the grocery store, consider picking up a bottle of castile soap, a liquid soap that's made entirely out of vegetable-based ingredients and is 100 percent biodegradable. The eco-friendly soap has myriad uses beyond hand-washing; because it cuts through grease and dirt (without chemical sudsing agents), you can do a lot with it to keep your house sparkling clean. A few drops in a bucket of water creates an ideal floor cleaner. It also works well to lift stubborn stains set in clothes before washing them in the washing machine; it's great for degreasing pots and pans; and it can even be used to effectively and gently wash fingerprints off almost any surface.
