Make Your Own soft Creamy Household Cleaner
Can you look in your laundry and bathroom cupboards and find umpteen
tins and bottles of pungent, toxic cleaners?
|
One whiff of any of them will probably leave you short of breath.
These cleaners are wiped around toilet seats, baths and
kitchen surfaces, not to mention the fact that our clothes are
drenched in them each time we do the washing. A lot of
cleaning products are absorbed by our skin. Many are
carcinogenic and many can affect our central nervous system.
So far
we have only mentioned the affect on our bodies but what about the
affect on our environment. That's another story we don't need
to go into here as you are well aware of how fragile it is.
Lets get down to something constructive and make some healthy
cleaners. Most of ingredients are in your pantry right now, so
let's get started: |

Make your own equivalent of Jif |

Thick
creamy cleaner,
similar to Jif:
Mix 1 and 3/4
cups of
bicarbonate of
soda with about
2/3 cup of liquid detergent to make a cream. If you like,
you can add a few drops of essential oil such as lavender.
All detergents vary so you may need to adjust the quantities slightly.
But don't make the solution too thick or you won't be able
to squeeze it out of your storage bottle.
This mixture is good for
cleaning baths and ceramic sinks.
