The Organically Clean Home: 150 Everyday Organic Cleaning Products You Can Make Yourself–The Natural, Chemical-Free Way

I cannot put this book down! Best Collection of Organic Cleaning Recipes and Advice ANYWHERE–HANDS DOWN!
I cannot put this book down; in fact I should be cleaning right now- but I had to let the WORLD KNOW how great you will feel inside if you start using the valuable advice given inside this book. It’s not only valuable, it’s also CHEAP! The cleaning recipes are from things you most likely own or can buy for a few dollars, and will last for a long time. More importantly, they are SAFE, they WORK, they are ORGANIC, and I like the fact that most of them SMELL GOOD. That last one is a choice by the user, however. Becky has solutions for everything you can think of and some I wish I had known a long time ago. For those of us who are cleaning challenged, she not offers non-toxic cleaning recipes for everything imaginable, but also includes a variety of cleaning routine checklists. “The Organically Clean Home” is a must have, not on my bookshelf, but in my hands!

Need to read – beginners
Wonderful recipes that smell amazing. Love how the author breaks down the recipes and even gives helpful hints to improve the clean. A must read for beginners.

Easy and pretty effective recipes, reasonably priced upkeep
My husband and I have been using this book for a few months. Following the instructions, we are slowly starting to get down some sort of routine for regular cleaning, as we hope to get our act together before our baby arrives in May. It’s not to the letter, but if we can do half the cleaning the author prescribes in a week, we’re light years in the right direction!With three cats at home, we are very concerned with keeping things clean but also eco-friendly and non-toxic. I saw this book online and had to try it, and I am not disappointed! Almost every recipe we tried this far has been effective and pretty cheap to employ. It does take a bit of money to get started because if you want to do it properly you want to get most of the materials you know you will use a lot together ahead of time, but since we spent $100 or so getting our stuff together, we have barely spent a dime. No joke. I’m pretty sure the amount of laundry detergent I’m not buying has already paid for everything: we made a huge batch of powdered laundry detergent and have been using it for months!!We’ve tried laundry detergent, bathroom cleaning, kitchen and floor recipes. All of them have been very effective and cheap to make. The only one that hasn’t worked for us was the powdered dishwasher recipe. All my dishes got spotty & caked with white stuff, no matter how we tried to adjust the recipe and use vinegar as a rinse agent. We may try again later with the liquid version, but for now we’re sticking to good old Cascade tablets until we are comfortable with a new solution.I took away a star for this book for only a few small reasons. For one, the issue with the dishwasher recipe. Second, the fact that almost half the recipes are some sort of lemon and clove. You can obviously switch out the essential oils as you please, which the author points out, but I just thought it was a little strange that almost all of them were basically one scent. Lastly, the cleaning schedules / checklists were a little daunting. For someone trying to get a fresh start, I was rather overwhelmed with the amount of cleaning she suggested I do, and still am. To the authors credit, though, she has a variety of checklists/schedules that hopefully will work for a variety of people, and may one day work for me if I choose the right one. She has an accompanying website with really neat printable stuff to help keep you on track. I particularly like the monthly calendars that line up everything I need to do in a month, or as an alternative, simple weekly reminder slips for the fridge to do the 5 golden tasks per day with space to write in other reminders.Happy cleaning!

Recetas muy practicas para un hogar libre de químicos

J’ai essayé son produit “maison” pour nettoyer le four pour asticoter le dessous d’une poêle. Stupéfaction – ca nettoyait mieux qu’un produit du commerce en version aérosol. Ce livre permet de faire des grandes économies (essayer donc la bicarbonate de soude pour nettoyer vos lavabos, ou mélanger avec du vinaigre pour déboucher un évier). Personnellement, je trouve que les produits du commerce sont très irritants et l’un d’eux m’a donné des allergies pendant 48 heures. En plus, ils sont très chers. Vraiment bien fait (et à part le “borax”, on trouve tous les produits dans les supermarchés ou sur Amazon). Le savon de castille est, je crois, facilement remplacé par du savon d’alep ou savon du marseille/savon noir.Un bon achat, surtout avec son autre livre “Simply Clean” que j’adore – comment faire son ménage en 10 minutes par jour (ou par tranches de 10 minutes). J’ai essayé et c’est génial.A conseiller mesdames!
