INTRODUCTION
My Natural
CSAlSeMtaonrying PLE In 2008, Dustin and I made a decision to
change our eating habits.
Our goal was to eat less processed food and enjoy more "real food," a word that I learned from reading Michael Pollan's books. This goal took us down many different roads: veganism, vegetarianism, and finally the discovery of something called pastured bacon (hallelujah!!). To be fully honest, at the time I thought our decision was one that would simply change our meals, nothing more. I never thought for one single second that our decision to eat real food (the stuff that actually comes from the ground or an animal, not altered substances) would change the

way we clean, what we use on our skin, and even the way we do laundry.
Oh how I was wrong!
That one decision resulted in a total lifestyle change for our young family.
After a couple of years of eating real food, I began to question not only
the products we called "food," but also the products being used on our skin and in our home. This questioning led to a quest to "green" our products. Soon I found myself making friends with castile soap and spray bottles,
S learning how to use vinegar for more than just salad dressing, and loving A the simplicity and cleaning power of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. M Today, our lifestyle
is radically different than it was back in 2008. Our family is larger and noisier (hey kiddos!), our food is made with real ingredients,
PLE
and we are more
informed about the
products we buy
and/or make.
This book has been created to offer you a resource that I wish I had back in 2008, a simple guide to teach you how to make cleaners at home with simple ingredients you can actually pronounce and even feel safe using around your family.

No matter where you're at on your natural living journey, I'm confident the recipes, tips, and tricks shared within in this book will change the way you approach cleaning.
How to Use this Book
Can real people actually make effective cleaning products at home? Don't you need a special lab with special tools to create cleaning products?
Not only do I believe real people, you and me, can make effective cleaning products
S at home, I also believe making homemade products can be fun and easy. This book A is designed to confidently add the phrase "homemade cleaning products" to your Meveryday vocabulary. Not only do I want to help you grow into a confident DIYer, I also want to help you foster a love for this way of life.
P I believe the best way to learn a new skill is to arm yourself with knowledge L and then practically apply this knowledge to real life. This book is divided E into three major sections to help you do just that: DIY Cleaning Basics, Create
a Natural Cleaning Action Plan, and Do-It-Yourself Cleaning Recipes.
In the DIY Cleaning Basics section, we'll discuss why you should consider making homemade cleaning products, what you should make at home, and how you'll get the job of making homemade cleaning products accomplished (AKA: the materials and tools you'll need). Once we've covered the basics, I know you'll be eager to get started with making your own products. Trust

me, the DIY spirit is contagious, but I want this lifestyle change to be a lasting one, not one that leads to burnout. Before getting started with the recipe section of the book, I want to help you create an action plan for making and/or buying natural products. I'll teach you how to strategically take a look at what you're currently purchasing and using to clean your home and then, based on this knowledge, help you create an action plan for which homemade products you should tackle first.
S This plan will help you tackle DIY cleaning in a very practical, hands-on A way without feeling overwhelmed. M The first two chapters of this book are designed to help you understand the PLE basics of homemade cleaning ingredients and tools, as well as offer strategic
help for determining how to get started with natural cleaning, without feeling overwhelmed. While these chapters are designed to support you in the transition from toxic cleaners to natural cleaners, they are not essential reading if you already have experience with natural ingredients. This is one of the few books where it's okay to jump around, skip over pages if desired, and pick and choose what you read. You have my permission.
The final section of this book is designed to equip you with basic recipes to help you clean your home. Some of these recipes can also be found on the blog, so they've been tested by countless readers over time and perfected due to their valuable feedback.
