How can I safely clean my child’s toys and play area?
The Safe Shopper's Bible, by David Steinman and Samuel Epstein, is a great source for the wide range of cleaners available at both supermarkets and health food stores. A home made disinfectant cleaner can be made with:
I teaspoon of borax
2 tablespoons of white vinegar
1/4 cup liquid soap
2 cups hot water
This will work well in a refillable spray bottle. Just be sure to rinse well with water after cleaning. Plain baking soda will remove stains as well as deodorize. Browse our website for easy recipes for easy alternative household cleaning products.
