Spring Cleaning

Spring is the magical time when people sweep away the winter blues and throw open their windows – to keep from gagging on the noxious odors caused by their spring cleaning products. Many conventional cleaning products include chemicals that come with hefty warning labels: “Keep away from children” or “Harmful if swallowed” and “Use only with proper ventilation”. If these products are supposed to make our homes safer, why are they so dangerous? It doesn’t have to be this way! Vermont Soap’s Liquid Sunshine is an incredibly versatile product that contains ZERO Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or other detergents, alcohols, artificial colors and fragrances, or preservatives. You can use Liquid Sunshine for:

• Floors: Add 3oz of Liquid Sunshine to mop water. Clean as usual, and allow to dry.
• Laundry: Use about 1/3 cup per load – a little more for hard water. Liquid Sunshine may be neutralized by detergent residues in the machine so use enough to get the barest start of foam on top. You may have to use a little extra the first time. Always mix into warm water before adding the clothes. Softens clothes with natural aloe! Also has a mild whitening effect. Great for silks and fine fabrics, wool and suede (may darken).
• Stain Removal: Safe and effective. Wet surface and apply full strength. Work into the material from several directions and let sit a moment. Rinse and dry.
• Woodwork, Floors and Walls: Dilute 1/4 cup per 1 gallon of hot water. Clean, rinse and let dry.
• Bathrooms: Use full strength on sponge and rinse. For all porcelain and tile surfaces.
• Vehicles: Saturate sponge with Liquid Sunshine. Work over vehicle in sections, wetting first, applying Liquid Sunshine and then rinsing. Always wash vehicles out of direct sunlight.
• Carpets: Replaces detergent concentrates. Works well in carpet cleaning machines and on stains.
• General Cleaning: Stovetop, refrigerator, etc. Wet surface. Scrub with sponge saturated in Liquid Sunshine. Rinse and dry. For ALL water safe surfaces.

This year, throw your windows open for joy!
