Green and clean!

Here at Gorilla Sacks we take special care to use only natural, safe and environmentally friendly cleaning solutions to clean our billboards. So we got to thinking, why are we treating our billboards better than ourselves? We deserve natural cleaning supplies just as much as our billboards do! So, we pulled our brains together and found recipes for all-natural, completely earth friendly cleaning products that we love. 

Who wants clothes that smell like chemicals? Not us! How about clothes that smell like lavender, or vanilla, or spices? Yes, please!

Laundry Detergent Recipe

½ bar Fels Naptha Soap, grated
1 cup Washing Soda
½ cup Borax
1 qt plus 1 gallon water
2 clean gallon jugs

Mix all ingredients in a pot and bring to a simmer so soap dissolves.  Cool slightly. Meanwhile, put ½ gallon water in each jug, add cooled soap mixture, finish with water if needed.

You can add essential oils to this if you like scented cleaners. Just a drop of lavender or rosemary oil goes a long way. (Try eucalyptus, it's our favorite!)
