Green Spring Cleaning!!!
Natural Household Cleaners Make It Safe and Cheap
After a long winter, a round or two of spring cleaning is a great way to bring a sense of renewal, in addition to fresh cleanliness, to your household. It can clear away the cobwebs of the mind, as well as the rafters.
Unfortunately, over past decades the ever-expanding arsenal of home cleaning products has included a number of dangerous weapons, loaded with strong, artificial colors and fragrances and harsh cleansing agents like bleach, ammonia, alcohol and more. These chemicals are a major threat to indoor air quality, off-gassing toxic fumes that can irritate eyes and respiratory systems. Children and pets are most at risk, being smaller and closer to the floor. Many cleaners also contain unnecessary antibacterial compounds, which may lead to antibiotic resistance.
Instead, harken back to a simpler time, and rediscover the natural cleaners of your grandparents. Even the biggest messes and toughest stains can be attacked effectively with baking soda, borax, lemon juice and more. You’ll also spend less money and reduce packaging.
