MY ZERO WASTE CLEANING KIT || Kate Arnell

( I've designed some organic cotton and closed loop t-shirts: http://ecoboost.teemill.com ) Hey guys, here are my zero waste cleaning essentials. It's pretty basic, but it has worked for us for the last few years. It's mostly made up of distilled white vinegar, bicarbonate of soda (aka baking soda) and some zero waste refills where available. Let me know any of your favourite non-toxic cleaning methods! --------------------------------------- FEATURED ITEMS Zero Waste Home Book* http://tidd.ly/120270f6 The Organically Clean Home* http://tidd.ly/7f7b9399 Sainsbury's Distilled White Vinegar http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/vinegar-208344-44/sainsburys-distilled-vinegar-568ml Tea Tree Oil Essential Oil* http://tidd.ly/bfd80a2a Peppermint Essential Oil* http://tidd.ly/bca9da1e Rosemary Essential Oil* http://tidd.ly/158de757 Geranium Essential Oil* http://tidd.ly/8a0dbeea Cedarwood Essential Oil* http://tidd.ly/b65bc6b2 Eucalyptus Essential Oil* http://tidd.ly/258f2aaa Perigot Spray Bottle http://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/perigot-stainless-steel-spray-bottle-650ml_307-2000929-MESP003/ Ecoegg cloths* - despite ecoegg saying they would replace the plastic packaging of their cloths with a plastic-free alternative I have just found out them are still sending them out in plastic.

I emailed the company to ask them to send without plastic so they used an old cardboard box but the bags still had some plastic braces wrapped around them. http://www.caddylinersdirect.co.uk/shop/EcoSack-Paper-Caddy-Liners Green Dry Cleaners mentioned: https://www.johnsoncleaners.com http://blancclean.com --------------------------------------- How To Turn Bicarb into Washing Soda https://wellnessmama.com/76866/how-to-make-washing-soda/ 21 Uses For Borax http://moralfibres.co.uk/uses-for-borax-around-the-house/ Difference between Borax and Borax substitute http://moralfibres.co.uk/is-borax-safe/ DIY Scrap Vinegar Recipe https://zerowastechef.com/2014/10/30/apple-scrap-vinegar/ --------------------------------------- WATCH MORE My Zero Waste Kitchen Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLgKaHKOGB8 Interview With Bea Johnson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eNSDAj8hvg Non-Toxic & Zero Waste Personal Care Faves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY41rlJIXpk Non-Toxic Make Up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emAEQSrDm3c Plastic Free July - The Results https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJZWs_2SsOc&t=25s --------------------------------------- FOLLOW Blog: http://eco-boost.co Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/kate_arnell Twitter http://www.twitter.com/Kate_Arnell --------------------------------------- This is NOT a sponsored video.
