3 Environmentally Friendly Ways to Clean

March 11, 2008 · 2 Comments

As a mom to 3 young children, I have become sensitive to what I use as cleaners in my home.  I have eliminated MOST not all (yet) toxic chemical cleaners and have replaced them with more environmental/green products. 

Here are 3 things I use to green clean my home: 

** Use Vinegar — as I have found out, vinegar is an all-natural solution to clean and deodorize your home.  Now you don’t have to use irritating and smelly chemicals to clean your home.  I use vinegar when I wash my children’s clothing, I use vinegar to clean calcium build up in my bathroom.  There are also many more uses of vinegar I haven’t tried.

**  Baking Soda — use it to eliminate odor (I use it on my carpets) and may be used as a gentle scouring powder

**  Borax — great for eliminating odor, removing dirt.  Do keep out of reach of children as it is toxic if swallowed.

 How do you green clean?
