For many people it is a great relief to disinfect and deodorize without chemicals! Quite a few advantages come with using herbs & essential oils to clean because they have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal properties, insects and rodents dislike their smells yet they smell wonderful to people and they also promote health and well-being by supporting your immune and respiratory system. Learn how to make products for all household cleaning, furniture polishing, upkeep of pet areas, pest control and even washing your car! Taught by Cheryl Hoard.

Many of us are thinking more about what we flush down our drains into the environment and the indoor chemicals we breath on a regular basis from our household cleaning products, air fresheners, new carpeting, refinishing products, pest control products and the list goes on. Just because companies are constantly marketing new items to maintain your household doesn't automatically mean they are a good addition to your routine. Now there are spray on, no-scrub tub and tile cleaners, things to spray on clothes and carpets in place of cleaning them and new and different chemical treated, disposable cleaning and dusting cloths. If all of us visited a landfill once a year, smelled and looked at it, we probably would think more before using all the new disposal cleaning items available today.

Next to the chemically laden skin and hair care products we put on our bodies, the second most heavily applied chemical areas are our homes! We buy more detergent at supermarkets than any other item! More than any food item! Old-fashioned soap was not so harmful to our bodies and the environment. Today soap and detergent are chemical products. They not only contain cleaning agents but synthetic perfumes, booster, enzymes, fillers, brighteners, bubble size adjusters and the list goes on. Do we really need all these different kinds of cleaning products if we have natural cleaning agents that are better and safer?
