First and foremost this information is useful for anyone who is wanting to get away from the toxic cleaners that we have grown attached to. Generally this person is concerned with the health of kids, pets, and/or themselves. Still others are concerned about the impact the cleaners have on the environment and finally there are those who are interested in sustainable living.Secondly there may be students out there who are interested in the impact of toxic cleaners on the Earth for class work.
I have organized my recipes in a way that they are primarily grouped by rooms used, but also one category for all-purpose cleaners and another for miscellaneous cleaners. There are 30 recipes in all as of right now and I foresee adding more as I find them. The current sheets will be laminated and housed in my laundry room with the cleaning supplies. For those interested in seeing my current list it can be found here. I'd like to see more and more people move towards natural cleaners, but I'm not going to force it on them. I may consider making cleaning goodie baskets for family and friends who are interested. My library system puts out a monthly Wellness Newsletter, the information that I have discovered would be of great benefit to those in the company who are interested in natural cleaners.
I chose to create a power point presentation for those interested in gaining a brief overview of cleaning with natural products. This can be found here.
This topic could provide a great amount of informative fun for a science class. It may not even have to be completely green, but I feel like it is important for people to understand what the active ingredients of cleaning products are. Rather than go out and buy a brand name because that is all you know, think about what the main ingredient you need is! For example, what cleaning elements do baking soda and vinegar have?
