I reduced my cleaning products last year to a bottle of bleach, bi-carb soda and vinegar and have been very happy with the results.It has now occured to me that I still have other chemicals in the house - most obviously shampoo, conditioner, washing up liquid, deodorant and laundry powder - so I have decided that they too must go.
I am starting with the shampoo and conditioner (as soon as I use up what I already have - about two more days). I have done my research (long live Google) and have a few recipes to try. When I find one that I think is the best, I will certainly post it.
Deodorant is next on my list to research and replace - I think I have about a week's supply left.
I still have a few months laundry powder on hand and I have just opened my last bottle of washing-up liquid so I will get to them in due course.
No, this has nothing to do with food miles, this is just me trying to minimize the amount of chemicals I put on myself, and my immediate environment.

Doesn't hair naturally improve if you don't wash it for 6 months?
I have heard that if you can put up with the transition, after 6 weeks, the scalp and hair returns to a natural state and you never have to wash your hair again - will check it out WW :-)
