Klippel to speak on natural cleaning products Florence Herb Enthusiasts will host popular local speaker Frances Klippel during their Thursday, May 21 meeting. Klippel will share how to easily make healthy cleaning products using ingredients you probably already have avail- able around the house. Common household clean- ers contain items such as: ammonia, bleach, butyl cello- solve, cresol, dye, ethanol, formaldehyde, glycol, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluo- ric acid, napthalene, paradichlorobenzenes, per- chloroethylene, petroleum dis- tillates, phenol, phosphoric acid, propellants, sulfuric acid, and trichloroethylene. Each of these chemicals is dangerous and most are con- sidered hazardous waste. “It’s really easy to make your own natural cleaners with vinegars, essential oils and other basic items,” said Klippek. “We are commonly exposed to toxins on a daily basis from many commercial cleaners. The cleaners we make at home are ever so much more safe for humans and our animals to use on a regular basis.” Florence Herb Enthusiasts will meet at 11 a.m., at New Life Lutheran Church, 2100 Spruce Street (next to Food Share.) Guests are welcome to attend their first meeting free; annual dues are $10. For more information, call Robert McGlauflin at 541- 513-1745 or Jacquie Beveridge at 541-997-8311.
