Clean is the new green! Sustainable. Organic. Minimalist. Natural. Now more than ever, people are looking to create a nontoxic home by using products that are not only effective, but good for the planet. Salt, Lemons, Vinegar, and Baking Soda puts the home's hero ingredients front and centre, using these (and a few other) versatile items in hundreds of different combinations to clean the home and care for yourself, your family, and your pets. This handy book focuses on living simpler, stepping away from all those specific products for cleaning the oven, washing windows, polishing silver, removing stains and instead leveraging the power of a few humble but mighty ingredients in the common pantry. You can do a whole lot more with vinegar than make salad dressing! This practical book will guide you through hundreds of recipes, broken down by the area of the house, with easy instructions and explanations of the science and history behind the recipes and ingredients. Home cleaning (both indoors and outdoors), personal hygiene and grooming, pet care - this is an essential reference for all parts of your life that you will reach for again and again!
