I LOVE Lemon, On Guard, and Lavender for cleaning. If you have Modern
Essentials there is a small section that has a few recipes for
cleaning. I made some hand wipes with on guard and LOVE them. Used
them at a family reunion and didn't get any of the nasty colds that
were going around.
I have heard of others using Citrus Bliss also. The Lemon in my
opinion works far better then some of the chemical cleaning products I
have used in the past.
I have loved using the Seventh Generation products, but they were
super expensive (at the time- which was about 3 years ago) and so we
weren't able to replenish our stock. Now that Wal mart is selling them
I wonder if the cost has gone down? I don't remember the ingredients,
but with my allergies I found I could use the Seventh Generation
products without a problem. Learning what I have about EOs recently it
makes me want to re-evalute the SG products and see if they are just
as good/safe. You may even be able to add a couple drops to them?
Hubby and I are pretty anal about keeping a germ free home. We don't
like it when people come over sick and we don't like shaking peoples
hands, especially at church. I have severe allergies to chemicals and
have to be extremely careful with what we use. Up until a few months
ago I either cleaned dressed from head to toe in protective gear or
hubby did the cleaning. I HATED cleaning because if I wasn't careful I
would have an asthma attack or break out in hives and all that fun
stuff.
As soon as I got lemon and lavender I began to use them for cleaning
and noticed a difference immediately! Our home smelled better. I could
breath and I had no negative reactions to the oils or smell. I now
make excuses for cleaning, even deep cleaning :) After using the
lavender for several weeks in a row as a carpet cleaner I noticed our
carpet looks cleaner, feels softer, and my asthma is back under
control. I love when we come home from being gone all day and it
smells sooo nice.
If you do a search on cleaning I think you will find some different
tips and tricks and I think there are a few links to blogs with some
tips too. I got my on guard hand wipe recipe from a blog (can't
remember it at the moment.) Trial and Error is a fun way to go too :)
Good Luck!
