Free book on natural cleaning

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

The site for PlanetGreen says that today (June 5) is World Environment Day. Who knew?

If you click on over there, you can take a pledge to wash your clothes in cold water and get a free copy of Naturally Clean: The Seventh Generation Guide to Safe and Healthy, Non-Toxic Cleaning. It sounds like it doesn’t just tout Seventh Generation products, but includes DIY info, too. The site also has a calculator to figure (very roughly) your savings, in energy, money and pounds of carbon, from washing in cold water and/or using an EnergyStar washing machine.

Well, I missed out on World Environment Day. Who can keep up? Thanks for the tip on the free book. My favorite cleaning recipe is:
1/2 cup vinegar
3 1/2 cups water
3-4 drops Dr. Bronner’s liquid castile soap
Happy Friday! ~ Daryl
