		<title>A little bit OT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just found the coolest thing ever. You have got to check out this website if you are into shrinking your footprint upon this earth.

I&#8217;d love to live in one of these &#8211; the larger ones of course. I don&#8217;t think I could fit my ample rear into the 65 sq ft one. However, the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=housedetox.wordpress.com&blog=3641780&post=39&subd=housedetox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I took a chance.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I splurged and bought an H2O mop on sale.  I was very wary, but the only other steam mops at the stores in town were beyond my price range. I figured I&#8217;d keep the receipt and if it sucked, I&#8217;d return it. However, I&#8217;ve been very pleasantly surprised!
When we were picking out lino/vinyl flooring for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=housedetox.wordpress.com&blog=3641780&post=35&subd=housedetox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Floor steam cleaners?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been drooling after those floor steamers that seem to work like magic on tv. The first one I saw was the H2O mop and I thought, wow, how cool! But after I read the reviews, I was less enthousiastic. I&#8217;ve seen a few others since, some on infomercials, and our local trade show had [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=housedetox.wordpress.com&blog=3641780&post=30&subd=housedetox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Least toxic stain remover ever.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I was reading in our local recycling flyer, about a certain non-toxic stain remover. It&#8217;s shockingly simple.
Boiling water.
Why I didn&#8217;t think of this before is beyond me. In our laundry sink, we have a tap that can do a strong spray and sometimes I can spray most of a stain out. Well, apparently the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=housedetox.wordpress.com&blog=3641780&post=25&subd=housedetox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>My house is a disaster.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Much like my life at the moment.
I haven&#8217;t done much &#8216;natural&#8217; cleaning, lately. Although I&#8217;m still using my own recipes for wet jetting my floors. For my wood floor, I&#8217;ve been using water, lemon oil, and a small squirt of Dawn. For my kitchen, I usually have a mix of vinegar, water, squirt of Dawn, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=housedetox.wordpress.com&blog=3641780&post=21&subd=housedetox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;ve been slacking off.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been super busy lately &#8211; too busy to update or test new recipes or anything. One thing I can tell you is that don&#8217;t use the scrubbing powder recipe with grated lemon zest in it. It plugs the drains. Ask me how I know. I thought I had grated it into a fine almost-powder.

		<title>Well, I can tell you what doesn&#8217;t work.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m talking about the homemade scrubbing bubbles. I tried a recipe that included vinegar, ammonia, rubbing alcohol and dish soap. It didn&#8217;t work at all for me. Almost the next day I started seeing soap scum and build-up. Yuck! So at the moment I&#8217;m nearing the end of a bottle that contained bleach, vinegar, &#38; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=housedetox.wordpress.com&blog=3641780&post=14&subd=housedetox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Testing takes time.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been able to write about much lately. I&#8217;m still testing a few things &#8211; like a scrubbing bubbles substitute and swiffer wet jet refill recipes.
Yesterday I decided to make some more homemade laundry soap/detergent, but instead of gelling it I&#8217;m going to leave it as a powder. When I grate the soap, it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=housedetox.wordpress.com&blog=3641780&post=13&subd=housedetox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Natura reusable dryer cloths/sheets work!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, since the last post, I decided to go out to Home Hardware and purchase the &#8220;Natura&#8221; cloth dryer sheets that are supposed to eliminate static to see if they would be a good alternative to regular dryer sheets. As I said in my last post, I tried the &#8216;natural&#8217; type with not very good [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=housedetox.wordpress.com&blog=3641780&post=12&subd=housedetox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I made my own laundry detergent!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was at the end of my big pail of Kirkland laundry detergent and decided to use that pail to make some of the gel-style laundry detergent. It seems to be a pretty popular recipe:

1 bar soap (grated)
1 cup washing soda
1/2 cup borax (I used 1 cup because we have HARD water)
hot water

Place grated soap [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=housedetox.wordpress.com&blog=3641780&post=11&subd=housedetox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
