I've never been one of those people who is super worried about toxins in cleaning supplies and body-care supplies. It's not that I don't care; it's more that I've grown up without worrying about it and am simply used to what I can buy at the store. After getting married, I remember reading books and looking through blogs filled with ideas to keep house and self clean with natural and organic products a person could make at home. I started compiling a list of what I would need and realized it would be incredibly expensive to start up the process, so I put it aside and essentially forgot about it.
This idea re surged when I was looking
up a better way to clean my oven top. I could mix a tablespoon each
of salt, baking soda, water, and elbow grease, and it was as clean as
I could ever get it with 409. I was so pleased, I spent a day looking
for various cleaners and body-care products. I wanted to be able to
buy limited ingredients for a variety of products.
