This was inspired by Rising Sun
and her Blog on natural shampoos.

I Hi RisingSun,
I was reading an article on the web by Bill Mollison,
the founder of Permaculture, design with nature.
He was saying that one of his students went off
into the bush in Australia, so to speak, and came
back with the revelation that there were four basic
cleaning agents that were essential for cleaning.
He said that if you take away the photos of
Dolphins and the coloring that just goes down
the toilet, You are left with these four basics.

"For example, one of the people I had trained in 1983, Janet McKinsey, disappeared with a friend into the bush - two women with children. They decided they could cut down their needs a lot, and they made a very scientific study of how to do that in their own houses. They've now started something called "Home Options for Preservation of the Environment" - HOPE.
They point out, for example, that there are only four things in all cleaners - whether it's shampoo, laundry detergent, whatever.You buy them in bulk and you mix them up properly, and they all work. It doesn't matter if they call the stuff ecologically friendly or have dolphins diving around on the label - it still has these damn four things in it. Anything else is just unnecessary additions to make it smell good or color it blue when it goes down the toilet."
I was wondering if Rising Sun or anyone knows what these
basic ingredients are?
I once met a woman named Karen Logan, I believe
who gave me a copy of her book called
Healthy Planet, Healthy Cleaners, so something like that.
I would like to know more about this subject.
your enchanted gardener
