The third edition of this best-selling book features greener formulas for homemade cleaning products, expanded information on using essential oils for cleaning and sanitizing, and updated packaging recommendations and preparation guidelines for a zero-waste approach.
You don't need to pay a fortune for expensive "green" commercial cleaning products. It's easy and inexpensive to mix up effective, nontoxic alternatives using basic kitchen staples — baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, herbs, and borax — plus a handful of easy-to-find essential oils. Karyn Siegel-Maier offers 150 all-natural recipes for cleaning everything in your home from bathrooms to bedding, carpets to cabinetry.
Try making your own rosemary-geranium floor wipes for electrostatic floor mops, weekend warrior wicker wash, telephone dirty talk tamer, clear the air room spritzer, or lavender lift automatic dishwasher soap.
