Agnes Anderson will guide you in taking a closer look at some
simple, inexpensive ingredients you may already have on hand—like vinegar (distilled
white and apple cider), salt, lemons, baking soda, olive oil and hydrogen peroxide—to
see how they can replace many of your current cleaning products. Favorites include
an all-purpose vinegar spray, an oven cleaning paste and a wood floor cleaner.
You’ll find out how to get information on decoding the names
of some undesirable petroleum products that may be lurking in the ingredients list
of products you currently use. And you’ll learn about recent research by the EnvironmentalWorking Group regarding green
products. Known ingredients are rated based on their potential health hazards, such
as asthma/respiratory, skin allergies, developmental and reproductive toxicity,
and cancer and environment.
In a hands-on workshop, Michele de la Rosa teaches you to
make a homemade olive oil moisturizer. As Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen write in
Making It: Radical Home Ec for a Post-Consumer World, "All-natural moisturizers, ones that don't contain any objectionable chemicals
(like artificial scents and preservatives), are expensive and hard to find. Making
your own is surprisingly easy and costs only pennies. You'll quickly get addicted
to the luxury of slathering yourself from head to toe in rich, gentle, nourishing
cream." It's all true and it's also fun to make! It's even more fun when we
make it together.
