| I checked this book out from the library, and I didn't really like it a whole lot. It had good stuff in it, but I really like Annie Berthold Bond's book "Better Basics for the Home" more. It not only has really good cleaning recipes in it, it also has bath/body recipes, and some others. It's the only book of it's kind I'll ever need. |

I'm with you all. I started making my own laundry detergent (liquid) last year and my dh just sort of humoured me, but now he brags aboout me at the office. It's really no big deal, but I wish more folks would do these things. I almost killed myself with an industrial strength chemical cleaner for my nasty fiberglass tub and he told me to stop using that stuff. Now I make my own tub and tile cleaner and it works better and is non-toxic and smells good. Cleaner is much more fun (if that is possible) and things smell good when I'm done.

I have been thinking of going to all natural cleaning products lately. I think I will use up what I have and replace one product at a time with a natural cleaner. I really like the idea of not using all the chemical stuff. My house is also comfortably clean and not spotless. I couldnt and wouldnt want to live that way! Too much pressure and too much time.

I, too, am starting to change over to homemade and/or natural cleaners. I recently made the powdered laundry soap using Dr. Bronner's lavender soap. Smells heavenly. I love anything lavender. In fact, I have decided to make some of these cleaners for gifts for my friends in the Cast Iron Butt Club. My gift philosopy is pick out one thing and get the same thing for everyone in their specific color. So for my sister-in-law, I made the lavender soap and put it in a turquoise container.
I haven't tried anything but the laudry soap yet. I'm kind of afraid that stuff will be too expensive and won't really do the job. I quess the media has really brainwashed me.
