Natural cleaning suppliers

Hi, i am wishing to make my own cleaning products and wondering if anybody can recommend a company to get ingredients from. I have been using Almawin household cleaner which i can recommend and wish to add tea tree oil to it to make it more anti bacterial. Thanks in advance.

    If you try the old style board they will give you lots of ideas for cleaning just using stuff you would have around the home (e.g. vinegar) - cheap, effective, environmentally friendly!

    I don't make cleaning products, but I do use a lot of soda crystals. They're good for a huge range of things and biodegrade in to harmless substances that are already abundant in the environment.
  • Defo thumbs up to white vinegar. It can ve bought already in a spray dispenser in shops such as Poundland and the likes. It's uses are many, but if you have sensitive skin, you should wear latex gloves or similar.

    Hi,
    If you do a search for Dri-Pak they can supply you with all you need.
    They also sell on a certain global internet auction site ... just search for Borax and you're sure to find them there - they sell in 6 packs.
