Indoor air pollution can result from cigarette smoke, pollen, mold, stoves, fireplaces, household products with toxic ingredients, and more. I liked this article because it contains both simple, commonsense suggestions as well as some creative ways to naturally purify home air.

For example, one helpful idea is to use a Himalayan pink salt lamp to purify the air in your home. This salt serves as a natural air purifier that pulls toxins from the air and neutralizes them. You can find these salt lamps at sites like Amazon and they’re very reasonably priced. Neat idea!

This is a recipe by Kathy of Back to Family for a liquid castile laundry soap.

In addition to other ingredients, it uses two different Castile soaps.  One of them is Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap with Lavender, which is a personal favorite of mine.  The recipe itself is really easy and makes 5 gallons of laundry detergent.  Nice, simple recipe.
