About Healthy House (& Me)
My name is Allegra Clarkson. I have always been interested in the most efficient, healthy and fun ways to shop, garden, eat and live.
A few years ago, I started cleaning rooms at a hotel in Port Townsend, and was appalled by how harsh cleaning products really are. At the end of each shift, having been exposed to cleaning products all day, I would feel light-headed, short of breath and sometimes even disoriented. My coworkers said they had these effects too, plus some developed long-term skin, eye and lung problems. I knew there had to be products out there that were just as effective without being so toxic and harsh.
I started researching, and came across a book by Karen Logan called Clean House, Clean Planet. Karen had developed some great recipes for cleaning products using simple, time-tested ingredients. Using her recipes, I started making my own cleaning products and was amazed to find that they actually worked better than the awful chemical cleaners I had been using before! Plus, by adding different essential oils, my cleaning products now have disinfecting and aromatherapeutic properties.
Cleaning is actually pleasurable now. I like knowing that I'm using safe, effective and healthy methods to get a sparkling, good-smelling home. Now that I'm cleaning professionally, I can do the same great things for your home!
