About Green Cleaning
I
do all my cleaning with four basic items: bicarb soda, vinegar, bar of
soap and eucalyptus oil - and for a little extra cleaning strength I'll
make a spray using cloudy ammonia (see recipe on Green Cleaning chart download at Green Cleaning) - which discourages me from buying commercial cleaning
products as an expensive back-up. Here's a run-down on what each of
these items will do:
Bicarb Soda: Abrasive cleaning, scouring, stain removal, deodorising, whitening, water softener.
Vinegar: General cleaning, deodorising and disinfecting. (Lemons may be substituted if available)
Eucalyptus Oil:
Deodorising, disinfecting (when added to other ingredients), stain
removal (hard-to-remove stains), odour enhancer, rejuvenating leather
and vinyl
Pure Soap: Soap
(bar of soap) can be used as a replacement for the entire range of
detergent based products you are currently purchasing - it's definitely
much cheaper and less chemically orientated. Turning soap into soap
jelly (see recipe below)
|
| | Recipe: Economical Soap Jelly Mix (detergent alternative)
(One bar of soap will make 20 litres of washing mixture!).
Grate one bar of soap. Put one half in one 10 litre bucket. Put the
other half of grated soap in another 10 litre of water. Add ½ cup
washing soda and 2 litres of boiling water to each bucket. Stir both
buckets until mixture has dissolved. Top each bucket up to full with
water. Leave to cool to form a thick jelly. Approximately one cup of
this mixture per wash (in the washing machine) will be sufficient for a
full load of washing. It can also be used for other washing tasks in
place of ‘detergents’, i.e. dish-washing, hand washing, hair shampoos,
pet shampoo, shower gels, body wahses, etc.
This mixture will make enough soap jelly to last some months – all from one simple bar of soap – how cheap is that?!

| | About Natural Skin Care
In my e-booklets and workshops I encourage a completely natural skin
care regime - using ingredients from home and garden. Just how Mother
Nature meant us to appreciate beautiful skin - using uncomplicated,
chemical-free and environmentally friendly ingredients - which is, of
course, better for you and for the planet. A complete 'skin care regime'
should include: cleanser, toner/astringent and moisturiser using:
Oatmeal - a gentle cleanser and healer that is chemical free and suites all skin types
Cider Vinegar - natural anti-bacterial agent, astringent and skin toner.
Almond Oil - moisturiser and skin softener
Fresh Herbs - healing agents from the garden.
Honey/Beeswax
- honey is a natural skin healing agent used since ancient times.
Beeswax is a chemical free emulsifying agent for skin creams and salves. |
