Synopsis

Protect your health, reduce waste, and be a better steward of the Earth by making the switch to natural cleaning products with these 43 easy recipes!A clean house should not come at the expense of your health. Common household cleaners are not kid-friendly or pet-friendly—or lung-friendly, or skin-friendly. Store-bought cleaners that contain bleach and ammonia, drain cleaners, toilet cleaners, and more are the cause of thousands of household emergencies each year. These harsh cleaners and artificial fragrances can irritate your eyes and lungs, and exacerbate allergies and asthma. Not to mention how all these chemicals and packaging materials are affecting the environment.

Bottom line, your home—and the planet—are simply safer without them.

Most people think natural cleaners either:

1. don’t work
2. are difficult / annoying to make
3. involve a lot of exotic, expensive ingredients that are too hard to find
4. all of the above!

The truth is, you can clean every room in your house—curtains, carpet, toilet, tile grout, whatever—without ever touching another bottle of Clorox. In this book, you’ll learn why these cleaners work, how to stock your home with a few basic ingredients you can grab as needed—and why you shouldn’t use some of the DIY cleaning recipes you see online.

You’ll also learn:

• How to safely and naturally clean every surface in your home, from stainless steel appliances to moldy showers
• Which natural cleaning ingredients should never be mixed (and why)
• How to customize your cleaners with essential oils
• Why you should use distilled water instead of tap water
• There’s even a recipe for cleaning dog toys!

Make the switch to non-toxic DIY cleaning solutions now!

Welcome to Natural Cleaning! This is an introduction to homemade, natural cleaners for everyone who cares about the health of their body and the planet.

My name is Pam Farley, and I’ve been cleaning my house with a few basic, natural ingredients for more than twenty-five years. I’ve learned a lot about what works and even more about what doesn’t work.

In Natural Cleaning, I’ll explain why these cleaners work, and discuss why you shouldn’t use some DIY cleaning recipes you see online. Things like:

• Why you shouldn’t mix vinegar and castile soap
• Why you should use purified water instead of tap water
• How to customize your cleaners with essential oils

You can read this book straight through from beginning to end or use the table of contents to skip from one section to another as needed.

Happy cleaning!
