Organic Housekeeping
September 5th, 2007
I have been reading many books in the organizational genre lately. This has been my favorite. It gives good practical advise on how to detox your home from too many chemicals. I have noticed lately that I have been getting migraines more frequently than normal so I thought I should reconsider some of my cleaning tools. I am also teaching the children how to help me clean and I realized I don’t want them working with all of these cleaners ether.
Organic Housekeeping gives really good tips on overall organization and thoughts on cleaning in general. If you can maintain “normal” cleaning in your home, than you can go out and enjoy the really good things in life. Definitely not a book on how to be a neat nick, just how to have a plan and work the plan efficiently and safely and then go out and play type book.

I’ve been using Casabella’s cleaning supplies, most of which do an excellent job cleaning with water alone. They have been a great resource and have vastly reduced the amount of household cleaners we use.
Check them out: http://www.casabella.com/

I’ve trusted Shaklee with all our household cleaning for many years (long before husband and having kids).
I don’t even think twice about spraying fruits and veggies with the same stuff I use in the kitchen.
Are you also thinking/talking about your laundry and dishwasher stuff?

Thanks for all the great tips and comments.
Tonia - It is a great read and worth your time.
Steven - tell Chaundra Hi. How are you all doing? It is nice to see you comment:-)
Amanda - I have never heard of casabella. I will check them out - thanks
Flo - I looked into Shaklee but the budget doesn’t allow it yet. Although I hear amazing things about it.
The book recommends a simple 2 part solution of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide for both your counters and your food. Easy and cheap. You don’t even wipe it off - it just evaporates.
I am thinking about all of it. Laundry/dishwasher etc. I am being very moderate and taking things one step at a time so as to really keep the habit consistent:-)
Peace to all!
