  1. Thank you for the review! This is one that I could really use! I decided yesterday that I just finished using the last of the non-natural toilet cleaner. I'm trying the homemade stuff from here on out!

  2. I would love to get this book! I only use 'green' cleaners in my home! My skin is sensitive and they don't irritate! ♥
