When my family began to transition into a cleaner and greener lifestyle, one of the first things that we purged from our cupboards were the hazardous and toxic cleaning supplies. We had cleaners that were specific in use – oven spray cleaners, we had products that were general usage – bathroom cleaners, and everything in between. We knew that our standards for maintaining a clean home, without the use of chemicals, would require creative thinking and utilizing non-toxic ingredients.
Our go-to cleaner started with using white vinegar and baking soda (sometimes together, sometimes separate!!) It was so useful!!
We found that dry baking soda was a great deodorizer! From keeping the smell out of our fridge, to our kids’ shoes, we even used it to remove odors and stains from our carpets and upholstery (Thanks to our dog Tyger) it quickly neutralized and offensive odors!
But, when we discovered Castile Soap, we realized that this soap could meet our household cleaning needs in one bottle! If you’ve never heard of Castile Soap, you’re not alone. But now that you’re here, read on as I’m proud to spread the word!
