Natural Cleaning Products

Natural cleaning products are the cleansers that your Grandmother grew up with, in a time when commercial cleaning products we’re not available.  Now they are back, to help us clean up our house, and our planet.

Filtered or Distilled Water – the minerals in tap water can build up over time depositing lime and calcium to surfaces, so I recommend using filtered or distilled water in all you cleaning solutions!

Baking Soda – Non abrasive Cleanser, Odor Remover, Laundry Booster, Drain Cleaner, and Water softener.

Borax – Laundry Booster, Grease Remover, Hand Cleaner, Carpet Cleaner, Disinfectant, Cleans painted or papered walls.

Castile Soap – Cleans without leaving a soapy buildup.  Use anywhere you would use soap.  Makes great shampoo’s and body washes. Gentle enough for baby.  Can be used to clean baby’s cloths too.
