Designing a Greener Cleaner

Summary

Some companies have developed “green” cleaners. Green brands promise to work just as well as the cleaners described above. They also promise to be nontoxic, biodegradable, and made from renewable (non-petroleum-based) resources. Other people have looked to their food cupboards for ingredients that can be mixed into safe, effective cleaners.

You have just landed your dream job at a “green” cleaning company. Your first project is to modify the recipe of a green cleaner made with inexpensive household ingredients to make a cleaner that is effective on dried mud.
