apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

why don't you allow to select several brands? Don't know about others, but I don't stick to just one.

I love the book Clean House, Clean Planet, by Karen Logan. I don't buy any cleaning products anymore- everything you need is in this book! My favorite "recipes" are the All-Purpose Household Cleaner and the Earth Scrub tile cleaner. Also, Dr. Bronner's is the most amazing stuff!

Baking soda vinegar hot water lemon juice salt = clean and happy house. I'm super chemically sensitive and completely allergic to chlorine based chemicals, so various combinations of above ingredients are all I use.

Where can buy the orange/blue sponge type thingy pictured in the image??

Hmmmm right now? Shaklee!

is great.

I'm such a natural cleaning junkie I try everything.

Also Earth Friendly Products makes some great stuff.

I haven't gotten around to reviewing Shaklee yet in the new blog.

Dr. Bronners - Vinegar, Lemon, Baking Soda - & Hydrogen Peroxide for disinfecting.

I haven't ventured too deeply into the commercially available eco-friendly cleaning products, yet. I use Bon Ami for scrubbing things (mainly the tub), a mixture of vinegar and water as an "all purpose spray cleanser", and various permutations of vinegar/baking soda/sea salt for deep cleaning counters. My current dish soap, which I like just fine but am not in lurve with, is, um *runs to check* Earth Friendly Products (truly "earth friendly", or shallow catchphrase marketing?).

On a recent business trip, the chemical smell of the cleansers used in my hotel room drove me up the wall. Which is funny, because at one time it was the smell of vinegar that did that... I guess I've come a long way.

I learned about Bon Ami from the AT book and love the way it works and smells. I use Simply Green to wash my cats' litter box.

We use Eco-products made locally:

In addition to vinegar and baking soda.

Ultra Ecos unscented for doing laundry. Takes less to do a load, one box lasts forever, recyclable box.

I use BabyGanics, and right now they are on sale! I was at Babies R Us this weekend and they have buy two get one free, so I stocked up on the all purpose and glass cleaner.

Method may smell good but beware the plastic packaging - very few facilities accept it! It's just contributing to the landfills.
