Welcome to Penny Pinching Dad
Just before the birth of my son 3 years ago, my wife got on an all natural, chemical free kick. At the same time we needed to find more cost effective ways of cleaning our house. Wanting to limit our use of harsh chemicals, I began researching natural cleaning products we could purchase at local stores that would be cost effective too. Buying these more natural cleaning products is not always easy. Often the "All Natural" products are not all natural and still contain many chemicals we were looking to avoid. Also, buying these products can be rather expensive.
Thus, I began making our family's cleaning products at home using simple ingredients.
My foray into making natural cleaning products has turned into an amazing bonding experience for me with my toddler son. He enjoys helping me make the cleaning products and even more he likes using them to help clean the house.
I have also found that I am able to make these cleaning products easily and save a lot of money at the same time.
