In reality, it isn’t any more difficult than using harsh chemicals, and it can even prove to be simpler, faster, and more cost-effective. If you’re worried about cost, you can transition to natural cleaning in incremental steps. Continue to use your standard cleaners until you run out so you don’t waste money you’ve already spent. Then you can slowly replace those old cleaners with the supplies discussed in this book. And remember, these all-natural options can improve your family’s health and quality of life.
