You will learn how to make your own earth-friendly household cleansers. Safe for pets, kids, and the environment, you can make a difference and save money! Students participate in hands-on demonstrations and will take home two cleaners and recipes for many more. Fee includes non-refundable $11 supply fee and must be paid at time of registration.
