PART TWO: GETTING WELL AGAIN
case, leave the cars and lawnmower outside. Remove cans of
gasoline, solvents, etc. Put up a separate shed for these items.Clean House
To clean the house, start with the bedroom. Remove every-
thing that has any smell to it whatever: candles, potpourri,
soaps, mending glue, cleaners, repair chemicals, felt markers,
colognes, perfumes, and especially plug-in air “fresheners”.
Store them in the garage, not the basement. Since all vapor
rises, they would come back up if you put them in a downstairs
garage or basement.
Next clean the kitchen. Take all cans and bottles of chemi-
cals out from under the sink or in a closet. Remove them to the
garage. Keep only the borax, white distilled vinegar and bottles
of concentrated borax and 50% vinegar you have made. You
may also use homemade soap. Use these for all purposes. For
exact amounts to use for dishwasher, dishes, windows, dusting,
see Recipes. Remove all cans, bottles, roach and ant killer,
mothballs, and chemicals that kill insects or mice. These should
not be used anywhere in your house. They should be thrown
out. Remember to check the crawl space, attic and closets for
hidden poisons also. To wax the floor, get the wax from the ga-
rage and put it back there. A cancer patient should not be in the
house while house cleaning or floor waxing is being done.
To keep out mice, walk all around your house, stuffing
holes and cracks with steel wool. Use old-fashioned mouse
traps.
