Women are coming together to create homemade cleaning products that are easy on the Earth and easy on the wallet.

The Green Cleaning Party is the brain child of the non-profit group Women Voices for the Earth.

The group uses natural ingredients like baking soda and castile soap to make the eco-friendly cleaners.

It's fun, it's easy and cheap.

The parties are more than just having fun and saving money on homemade cleaning supplies.

"I'm not driving all over town chugging out more CO2 into the environment to get to the store at the big box to buy the big brand name toxic bottle of goo to clean my bathroom," said party guest Karen Madison.

You can find the recipes for these cleaners online.
