Formulating Natural Household Cleaning Products
Use your formulation skills in a brand new way by creating your own natural household cleaning products!
In this class, you’ll learn professional cleaning product formulation (different from DIY recipes based on lemon juice or vinegar, for example)
Learn to formulate-professional quality cleaning sprays, dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, cleaning powder and furniture polish for your home!
Here’s what we’ll cover:
The theory and science
You will learn:
- How household cleaning products work.
- Key ingredients in natural household cleaning products: surfactants, wetting agents, abrasive agents and limescale removers.
- The purpose and function of surfactants in household cleaning products.
- Types of surfactants and natural options.
- How to calculate surfactant active matter.
Ready-to-use formulations and guidelines for formulating your own products
This class provides formulations for a range of household cleaning products suitable for many uses around the home, reducing the amount of products required for general cleaning.
You’ll receive five ready-to-use product formulations containing natural and organic ingredients, for example COSMOS-approved surfactants.
- Lemon and Rosemary All-purpose Cleaning Spray.
- Eucalyptus Dishwashing Liquid.
- Green Mandarin and Petitgrain Laundry Detergent.
- Bathroom Cleaning Powder.
- Furniture Polish.
With each formulation we share the benchmark, product development questions, formula, instructions, product specifications and directions for use.
For each type of product we also provide formulation templates and guidelines so that you can create your own unique formulations following our guidelines.
If you formulate your own skincare or haircare then you can definitely create your own cleaning products too, and you probably already have many of the ingredients needed.
