I know quite a few of you make your own cleaning products, laundry soap, deodorant, etc. I’d like to start trying this, but where should I begin? Of course, I’ve done some internet searches, but there’s so much out there. Do any of you have one particular site that lists the recipes you use or a book that you’d suggest? How about some tried and true recipes?
Thanks!

I make my own laundry detergent like this:
2 cups washing soda
2 cups Borax
1 finely grated bar of Fels Naptha
1 finely grated bar Dr. Bronner’s soap (any scent)
(I combine the Fels Naptha and Dr. Bronner’s because I like the scent of Dr. Bronner’s, but the Fels Naptha really works great with stains and such.)

In a nutshell:
Deodorant from the above Passionate Homemaking site….works awesome…much better than store-bought natural.
Trader Joes toothpaste, dishwasher detergent, laundry soap. I use their natural dish soap mixed 50/50 w/water in all my soap dispensers…very economical.
Vinegar and water for windows and kitchen counters.
Dr. Bonner’s soap w/water for cleaning.
Vitacost.com for natural shampoos and personal care products (good prices). That’s mainly it:) Blessings, Gina
