The current trend of going green influenced the Mammoth Cave Area Homemakers to request a lesson on how to make homemade green cleaning products. The lesson covered how to make effective household cleaning products with common items that are already in the home. Nontoxic, easy-to-use recipes were demonstrated and given to the audience. Emphasis was placed on buying products made of recycled products with little or no packaging. Greening Your Home Cleaning Products was taught directly to 74 homemakers, with a total of 378 homemakers receiving the lesson. 98% stated they learned how to safely mix ingredients; 100% said they would practice at least one of the safety measures learned.
