When I switched from conventional cleaning and body care products years ago, the only thing I missed was the fresh smell of conventional products. Vanilla, lemon and orange extract can be used as a natural fragrance and are available in grocery stores. Simple essential oils such as lavender, orange, lemon, lemongrass and pine are all inexpensive and concentrated and can be used to add a fresh clean smell without the use of chemically-created aromas that can increase allergy symptoms. A wide variety of essential oils are available online and in almost all local natural stores.

In addition to the environmental and health benefits of green cleaning and body care solution, saving money provides yet another reason for consumers to turn away from conventional products. With the cost of petroleum resources expected to continue to rise, inexpensive green solutions provide another way to cut household expenses to compensate for the higher cost of gas and consumer goods. In the coming year, saving money may be the incentive needed to change the 'green trend' to a way of life for most Americans.
