Total expenditures on Green Cleaning products went down (since last report, 2013-2014) because M&O is now purchasing Green Cleaning Paper Products (TP and PT) from a less expensive company. The rest of the more "general" cleaning product prices continues to increase. This was reported by Anthony Rael to Molly Blumheofer (07/2016).
