Cleaning Without Harming The Environment

• Did you know that indoor pollutants can be far
  higher than those found outside, sometimes up to
  100 times higher! Much of the pollutants come
  from home decorating and cleaning products, so
  finding a way to make your home clean and green,
  really is the best way to achieve a healthy life,
  healthy home and happy environment.
• How to make your home clean while being green
• One way of getting rid of harmful pollutants
  within your home is to fling the windows open and
  watch them disappear, but if the season doesnt
  permit this, why not take some other simple steps
  to eliminate the pollutants instead?

• Look at air fresheners, for example. In seasons
  when it isnt possible to open windows and let
  the outdoor fresh scents come inside, and let
  pollutants out, many people opt for synthetic air
  fresheners that are chock full of toxic
  chemicals. These can even cause skin, eye and
  respiratory reactions, and when a simple vase of
  freshly cut flowers will make your home smell
  fresh, why would choose a fake product that can
  harm your health?
• What we always need to look at when cleaning
  without harming the environment and our own
  health is to choose genuine green alternatives.
  Take note that not all products which claim to be
  natural, are non-toxic the word natural is
  undefined and unregulated by the government and
  can be applied to almost anything.

• So, how can you tell if a product is truly green
  and safe for the environment?
• The only way to really know if a product wont be
  harmful to you or the environment, is to read the
  label very carefully. Look for such things as
  grain alcohol instead of toxic butyl cellosolve
  when shopping for solvents, or natural plant oils
  like coconut or eucalyptus when searching for
  detergents or disinfectants.
• Bear in mind that many household items such as
  baking soda, lemons, vinegar and bicarbonate of
  soda can clean things just as effectively and are
  not at all

• harmful to humans or the environment. Not only
  are they easy to find if you dont already have
  them at home, but they are cost effective, too.
• Remember that keeping your home clean and free
  from germs and bacteria, need not be costly or
  harmful to the environment, and there is no need
  to be obsessive over germs either. Your home is
  not a hospital, and ironically, some toxic
  cleaning products can land you with a visit to
  the hospital, and they can be particularly
  harmful to infants and vulnerable adults.
• If you are using the services of a cleaning
  company and they dont already use green cleaning
  products, why not suggest that they use them in
  your home, at least?
