Don’t forget about Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps. Organic free-trade ingredients in 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. Nothing like a pepermint shower to wake you up in the morning. They also produce an organic surface cleaner now. I haven’t tried the cleaner yet, but I’ve been using the soap since my original DFH days.

Organic Housekeeping, by Ellen Sandbeck, is a useful start. It's amazing what can be cleaned with white vinegar and baking soda. Also, check out Mrs. Meyer's Cleanday line of products, if you want something a little snazzier than good old Simple Green.

My wife had to go to incredible lengths to find baby bottles that don’t contain that plastic. Half the time, “manufacturers” are so far removed from the actual chain of manufacture that they don’t even know what’s in their products. Another side effect of outsourcing everything to China.

Well, as my chemistry professor said, wrapping up lectures on detergents and how they work- “So you see, it’s all about ions- and water is highly ionic- thats why water is one of the best detergents.”

I’m doing a lot of the same, but specifically to eliminate plastic. Just about anything can be cleaned with vinegar or baking soda (or both). As for hair products, I like Avalon Organics a lot & they’re one of the cheaper brands. Though I’m also looking into making my own so I don’t have to buy the plastic bottles.

white vinegar is great for cleaning copper.
Trader Joe’s does a clone of Tom’s of Maine toothpaste, for about half the price.

Giant’s has an organic aisle with a selection of organic shampoos. I like the Jason brand (the one with biotin). I have a sensitive scalp and this is one of the few shampoos that doesn’t seem to irritate me.
