Tea Tree Oil is becoming an alternate means to treat Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a type of infection that does not respond to methicillin (Staphcillin™), the type of antibiotic used to treat most staph infections.

Research has shown that tea-tree oil is four to five times stronger than the usual household disinfectants, and of course, is completely natural. Tea tree oil has passed the Kelsey-Sykes test, which is the most rigorous antiseptic test in the world today.
When used as a germicide , a 4-5% concentration is recommended. Hanging Tree Lodge's " 5% Tea Tree Oil " glycerin soap and our NEW Moisturizing Hand Cleaner both contain a full 5% concentration of essential tea tree oil.

Q: What's up with those "Green Cleaning" products you offer?
A: We thought you'd never ask!
Even though I've been making and using most of these cleaners for years for use in our own home, I got really serious about it when our grown daughter somehow got a staph infection on her arm! (She's in and out of the ER for work every day). She went to urgent care where they put her on some powerful antibiotics and did a culture to see if it was MRSA, (you know, those bacteria that are resistant to most antibiotics and are becoming rampant in our hospitals and environment?) So, I started researching this and found that the many of the cleaning and personal products offered to consumers can actually do more harm than good! Not only were the antibacterial products creating resistant cooties, but they are also bad for our bodies and immune systems, as well as the environment! I set out to create some natural household cleaners that contained ingredients that research has shown to be effective in killing off many of these nasty "superbugs" and are not harmful to our bodies, or the environment. My daughter is doing much better, now. And she's now started using these products in her own home. Thankfully, it wasn't MRSA... this time. Scary, though.
Now, I'm offering the fruits of my research to you!
These products are:
Budget Friendly: Ingredients are inexpensive and readily available! "Recipes" are provided to make your own refills! Buy the starter kit, or save even more by dowloading just the "recipes", themselves!
Eco-friendly: Natural Ingredients, safer for septic systems!
