River-Friendly Cleaners Make & Take Workshop

The St. Johns Riverkeeper is making it easy to clean up your act!

Making your own cleaners saves money and keeps phosphates and other stinky chemicals out of our river. Join the Riverkeeper from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Willowbranch Library, and make your own floor cleaner, soft scrub, all-purpose cleaner for counters, and a window cleaner.  Bring your own clean spray bottles and wide-mouth containers with screw tops.

Sign up to make all four cleaners for just $10, or just two cleaners for $5. Pre-registration is required, so contact Kelly Savage at 256-7613, or at kelly@stjohnsriverkeeper.org.
