The Naturally Clean Home by Karyn Siegel-Maier
Description
In this updated edition of her best-selling book, The Naturally Clean Home, Karyn Siegel-Maier brings together the formulas for home cleaning solutions that readers have trusted for years with new information and ingredients updated to today’s green standards. A new introduction shines a light on the antiseptic properties of essential oils, addressing different grades of oil and their effectiveness against bacteria and viruses, as well as updated safety precautions and cost. Updated recipes eliminate Borax (banned as a food additive in the U.S. and from cosmetic and cleaning products in the E.U.) from ingredient lists, replacing it with safe substitutes that include citric acid powder, hydrogen peroxide, diatomaceous earth, cornstarch, washing soda, and baking soda. New recipes show readers how to make easy, nontoxic, environmentally friendly substitutes for popular cleaning products, including molded laundry and dishwasher tablets. Packaging updates emphasize the use of glass containers for homemade cleaning products, to diminish environmental impact of plastic waste.
My Review
There’s no need to head to the store for cleaning products anymore! All you’ll need from here on out is some essential oils and a few common household ingredients and you’ll have a sparkling clean house in no time!
Books like this are a great resource to have on hand for the duration and can often be shared with friends and family too!
Thank you Netgalley, Karyn Siegel-Maier, and Storey Publishing for the ARC!
