We’re a small local family business, offering unique natural cleaning solutions.
Dr. Squee's Apothecary wood line offers a number of options for wood care.
Our Wood Wash is a fresh way to deep clean wood cabinets and sealed wood furniture. My favorite way to use this product is to spray it on the surface to be cleaned and wipe with a soft, lightly damp cloth.
Our Wood Polish moisturizes and polishes freshly cleaned wood. A little bit of our polish goes a very long way. My favorite way to use this product is to spray it directly into a soft, dry cloth, using the cloth to polish the wood.
Our Salt and Lemon Butcher Block Scrub was created to deep clean butcher block counters and wooden cutting boards.
- Cut the lemon in half
- Sprinkle the Sea Salt onto the surface to be cleaned, using the included wooden spoon
- Use 1/2 of the lemon to scrub the salt into the butcher block or cutting board, squeezing the lemon to use the juice and pulp as well, focusing on stains/rings.
- Let the lemon and salt mixture set for 5 - 10 minutes and rinse with a 1:2 ratio of vinegar and water (one part vinegar, two parts water). Let butcher block or cutting boards air dry.
Dr. Squee's Apothecary was created during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Many of my housekeeping clients asked me if I would be willing to use natural cleaning products when I was able to return to work and I realized that I really didn't care for any of the " natural" cleaning products on the market. I desperately wanted a truly clean, natural solution.
With more time on my hands than I knew what to do with, I began researching what natural truly was - what was safe, effective and appealing., I tested recipe after recipe in my kitchen, making adjustments to each recipe I found and adding my own personal twist. Lastly, I deferred to the experts, to ensure my products were truly safe for delicate surfaces such as granite, marble, and quartz.
I am very happy to announce that I am introducing a truly natural line of cleaning solutions unlike anything you've ever used. With a careful combination of simple, natural, clean ingredients and essential oils, I offer products that will leave your entire house fresh and sparkling, I am excited to share them with you and know you will love them as much as I do.
I absolutely LOVE these products!!! My kitchen shines soooo bright and smells so fresh
These products are very good - natural, effective and much better than the super market varieties!
I've bought two baskets - One was for me and one for my friend who has a daughter who just beat cancer. I absolutely love it and it makes me feel good, knowing I'm not poisoning my family with toxins!!
Marika Porter
Creator of Dr. Squee's Apothecary & Store Owner
People often ask me " Why Dr. Squee's? How did you come up with that name?" It's actually kind of a cute story.
Many, many years ago, my grandparents asked my uncles what they wanted to name the new baby, My uncles answered that they wanted to name my father " Squee", Needless to say, my grandparents vetoed Squee being my father's given name, but it did become his life long nic name,
My father became a minister, and then a psychologist, He often said that when he earned his PhD, his license plate would read "Dr. Squee"
My father became very ill while I was in the earliest stages of creating this line and we ultimately lost him. Continuing my research and creating new products became very therapeutic practices as I navigated the loss & grief. I knew this was a product line that he would have loved and been proud of, and decided to name it in his memory, with a bit of twist... a play on words. As his daughter & the creator of this line, I truly am Dr. Squee's Apothecary . We hope you enjoy our products.
