Sunflower Naturals Non-Toxic Cleaning Guide Open your world to a life of natural cleaning solutions based on 15 years of research through the National Library of Medicine and Environmental Protection Agency. Discover how inexpensive and easy it is to clean your home naturally to reduce risks associated with common chemicals in conventional cleaning products such as asthma, allergies and contact dermatitis. "Cleaning compounds are generally just tested to make sure that they don't kill people or cause cancer," noted Dr. David Rosenstreich, director of the division of allergy and immunology in the department of medicine at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. "But, these products may not be safe for asthmatics to breathe in. And, if it's not safe for asthmatics, it's probably not safe for anyone else." Home Spray Cleaners Could Raise Asthma Risk: Spritzing just once a week boosted odds by 50%, study found Click to view list of recipes... Basic Ingredients From those who want just the basics to the more adventurous, the basic ingredients and their purpose are explained in this section. Included are each of the most common basic ingredients and their purpose, as well as information regarding the most popular essential oils so you can reduce the toxins. I had to learn to clean with natural cleaning solutions to control my son's asthma, and personally hated that aweful vinegar smell - so I learned to jazz it up with other cheap ingredients. This book helps you keep that clean smell, without the risks to your health or the health of your children. The information is progressive for each type of cleaning solution, so it's easy for everyone to follow. Put the Basics Together Combine items from the basic ingredients to create a variety of solutions. Each solution has information to create your favorite blend. There are over 50 different detailed natural cleaning solutions, as well as a section to jot down your own combinations. The included 'Quick Cleaning Tips' will help cut your housework time in half with just a few changes in how you probably do things. Either use the included recipes, or combine information from the basics to create your own: ~ Disinfectant counter sprays ~ Glass and shiney surface cleaners ~ Dishwasher powders ~ Laundry powders ~ Carpet powders ~ Abrasive cleansers ~ Grout cleaners ~ Furniture polishes ~ Floor rinses are all neatly organized so you can find the recipe you want by what you want it for. Your Own Concoctions It won't be long until you are mixing your own concoctions. Each of us has our own personal tastes, and everyone changes the recipes at some point or another when they learn how. When starting this business I found that the most important thing to do was to write down what I did to change the original recipe. This way, when there was something that turned out really great, I could do it again. Here's your space to jot down changes or completely new concoctions and have them available for future use.

Emly Patterson Editor Review: "Emily Patterson's Non-Toxic Body Care and Non-Toxic Cleaning Guide are well-written, informative guides that will change your life and put some money back into your pocket. Emily's conversational tone is more like chatting with an old friend over coffee than reading a "how-to" guide, and her directions are so simple to follow that anyone can start making their own natural products immediately. She includes her own personal experiences along with thoroughly researched information, so you can rest assured that every recipe is safe as Emily has tested and used every one of them in her own life. She practices what she preaches, and makes it easy for readers to do the same. If you are looking to reduce your dependence on chemicals and feel better, save some money, or both, you can't go wrong with Emily's guides." Jen Shoemaker, Editor |
