Household Tips….Natural Cleaners…. By Rhea Cammenga

Did you know solvents found in household cleaning products contribute to indoor air pollutants?  Replace Synthetic Detergents with Natural Cleaners and potentially increase your indoor air quality.

Castile Soap – the multipurpose cleaner

Glass Cleaner 1 cup water 1 drop Castile Soap

Gentle Surface Scrub 1 cup water 2 tablespoons Castile Soap

Vinegar can be used as a rinse after Castile Soap, but don’t mix the two. It inactivates the natural oil cleansing power of the soap!

Rubbing alcohol makes a great countertop cleaner, degreaser and sanitizer. Spray on, wipe off. Less expensive & I know exactly what is in it. You can add essential oils If you’d like scent to remain after it is dry.

DIY Laundry Detergent 1 bar of soap, finely grated (I use the unscented Zote) 1 box borax 1 box washing soda 1 large box baking soda 1 5 lb container oxy-clean (optional) Mix together and store in airtight container. Use 1-2 tablespoons per load. I use this in my HE washer, because it is low in suds.
