Best online site for natural products  

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
OK, I'm new to this so go easy on me if I don't do this right. I live in the southwestern part of Georgia and "green" household products are not plentiful here. I have recently decided to revamp our lives on several levels and have started using natural products for house cleaning. So far I love it but find that the few products (laundry detergent, etc.) I find in the store here are too expensive. I have some recipes for laundry detergents and general household cleaners but can anyone tell me a good website for buying things like Charlies or Dr. Bronners soaps? Also, are they cheaper to use than the leading commercial brands.

Also, we have very hard water here and I'm using equal parts of Borax and Washing Soda for laundry detergent with white vinegar in the rinse cycle. Can anyone tell me about how much of this mixture to use in my machine (top loader, energy effecient Fisher Paykel) or if there is anything else I might try. THANKS!!

I haven't had to buy cleaning products online in a while since so many Pittsburgh stores are carrying them now but here's an index of sites that sell them. Also, I've often bought diapers and toys from Julie's Stuff which carries many natural cleaning products.

Dr. Bronner's soap is a very good value! It's so concentrated that a pint bottle can give you at least six months of showers. A lot of the environmental cleansers are very concentrated too: laundry detergents have more loads' worth than the same size bottle of mainstream brands, dish soaps clean a whole sinkful with just a little squirt instead of a tablespoon, etc.

Thanks! That site is great! I did find out that we should be able to get Fels Naptha at the local publix and I also learned that I don't need nearly the entire amount of cleaner in the dishwasher. I can get Dr. Bronners at a local health store so I'm set! Appreciate the help!
