My Green Home ::Recipes Included::



I have been thinking about this post for sometime and I'm very happy that I have finally gotten it together! You can expect that these recipes have been tested and proved by yours truly! I have included some do-it-yourself recipes along with product recommendations. I often get asked, how I green clean my house or how I keep my house green clean and within this post I will be giving you my favorites for a full house clean! 

First up, the goods! I'm sure you're asking yourself why ridding your home of toxic chemicals is a good idea. Well--for starters we spend 80% of our time at home and considering that most common toxins in household cleaners have been linked to sever liver and kidney damage, narcosis, and pulmonary edema--I think I'll stay away. 

My DIY Faves 



 ::Laundry Detergent:: 
1 cup Super Washing Soda 
1 cup baking soda 
1 cup Epsom Salt 
6 drops Purification 
Directions: Combine all ingredients into and air tight container. 
**you can add 1 cup of Borax if you'd like** 

 ::Laundry Softener:: 
1 cup White Vinegar 
1/4 cup Organic Hair Conditioner 
6 drops Purification 
 Directions: Combine all ingredients into a jug or large mason jar. Add 1 capful (or 3 tbsp) to basin while filling. 
**for added softness use wool balls and dryer sheets** 

::Reusable Dryer Sheets:: 
1 package multi-purpose reusable wipes 
1 cup of laundry softener (see above recipe) 
 Directions: Cut reusable wipes into squares, place them in mason jar, pour laundry softener over wipes. The mixture will soak into the dryer sheets. To use them, simply throw one into your dryer! Once you use a dryer sheet a couple of times, you will want to set it aside until you have used them all. Once all of your dryer sheets have been used, you simply place them back in your airtight container and repeat! 

::Citrus Soft Scrub:: 
3/4 cup Baking Soda 
1/4 Castile Soap (Dr. Bronners) 
1 tbsp Distilled Water 
5-6 drops of Lemon or Purification 
Directions: Combine ingredient into a squeeze bottle. 
 **this makes an amazing stovetop, bathtub, and toilet scrub**
