In this revised and updated version of her renowned book, "The Naturally Clean Home," Karyn Siegel-Maier has compiled a comprehensive collection of home cleaning formulas that have been cherished by readers for years. With a focus on sustainability and eco-friendliness, she has incorporated fresh information and ingredients that align with modern green standards. A new introduction delves into the antiseptic properties of essential oils, exploring their various grades and their effectiveness in combating bacteria and viruses. Additionally, updated safety guidelines and cost considerations have been included.

The revised recipes have eliminated the use of Borax, which has been banned as a food additive in the United States and from cosmetic and cleaning products in the European Union. In its place, safe substitutes such as citric acid powder, hydrogen peroxide, diatomaceous earth, cornstarch, washing soda, and baking soda have been introduced. These substitutes offer eco-friendly alternatives to traditional cleaning products, including molded laundry and dishwasher tablets.

Furthermore, packaging updates have emphasized the use of glass containers for homemade cleaning products, as a means to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste. By incorporating these changes, "The Naturally Clean Home" remains a trusted resource for individuals seeking to create a clean and healthy home environment while minimizing their ecological footprint.
