GREENER CLEANING
When cleaning, the last thing you want to do is fill the air with toxins that
are hazardous to the environment and even to your family's health. But
that's what you might be doing if you use certain cleaners, many of which
contain synthetic chemicals that haven't been safety-tested. Experts are
divided as to whether these cleaners can harm you, but if you're
concerned, here's how to limit exposure.
Air it out. Leave windows open during and after cleaning so that
chemicals don't linger in the air.
Buy "green" alternatives like Charlie's Soaps. or look for products with
these terms: biodegradable; plant-based; hypo-allergenic, formulated
without dye or synthetic fragrance; non-flammable; does not contain
chlorine, phosphate, petroleum, ammonia, acids, alkalized solvents,
nitrates, or borates.
Make your own.
- A mix of baking soda and distilled white vinegar to scrub the toilet
- Distilled white vinegar mixed with warm water to clean hardwood
floors.
- Vegetable based soap with a few drops of lavender essential oil to
make an antiseptic cleaning spray.
Do what you can. Using green cleaners even some of the time is better
than never.
