About this title

Synopsis

Clean & Green is filled with new and traditional ideas for living free of hazardous household products. You'll learn how to create a fantastic cleaner and a soft scrubber, clean produce effectively, and eliminate mold without disinfectants. Discover the cleaning power of lemon, rhubarb and other plants, use little-known cleaning agents like pumice and zeolite, and rediscover gentle disinfectants like pine oil and borax. You can even make your own car wax, rust inhibitor and engine degreaser.
You'll also be able to create a healthier environment with air-filtering house plants, preserve bulk cleaning formulas, naturally wash floors with a flea-fighting soap, and personalize homemade cleaners with your favorite natural fragrance. Resources for nontoxic commercial products are also included.
