The Do-It-Yourself green cleaning party was developed by Women's Voices for the Earth, an inspiring women's environmental health organization working to educate consumers about chemicals in cleaning products. As a participant, you'll go home with your very own set of easy-to-make cleaning products (plus recipes) that have been tested for effectiveness and are good for your health and the environment! Bring empty spritzer and squeeze bottles for yourself and to share.
Additional resources, materials and factsheets on toxic chemicals and cleaning products from WVE’s Beyond the Label report.

Thank you Tracey, I am looking forward to using the products. I really enjoyed the small class and your wealth of knowledge. I certainly came away with some new thoughts on my shopping practices! Just polished my dining room oak table that is over 130 years old and the polish made it look so lovely... We use this table daily so it will be nice to have something that will help recover the wood. I also used the soft scrub in the bathroom sink and it worked like a dream. perhaps I will be excited to clean again..... anything is possible :-) See you again!

One of Anarres' clients held a DIY Natural Cleaning Party for her friends and received this text the next day:
Oh my gosh! Beka I LOVE LOVE LOVE the soft scrub!!! I just tried it on the bathroom sink and it was so easy to get the residue off! And the smell = :) cleaning. Thanks for showing me this awesome homemade cleaning product :D
I'm totally going to have fun cleaning the tub tonight when I take my shower! Can't wait to have my mom try it! She dilutes bleach and pretty much kills herself to clean the tub :( But we now have a great natural alternative :D
