We never tire of collecting homemade green cleanser recipes and green cleaning tips. So, when we saw Natural Home magazine promising we could detox our whole home with 8 household ingredients, we figured there'd be some good advice to glean. We were right ...
Detox Your Home with 8 Ingredients
Natural Home magazine July 2009
Natural Home's article lists some of the usual suspects (baking soda, lemons, etc.) but also includes a few things we've never cleaned with before (borax and washing soda).
What we really like are their recipes for a variety of cleaners:
- Surface cleaner
- Lemongrass dustcloths
- Creamy nonabrasive cleaner
- Pre-vacuum carpet freshener
Get all the recipes here.
