Keep Your House Clean – The Organic Way!
The another step towards making necessary changes to your green home would be the maintenance of your home with organic cleaning products . For the average consumer, this means that they need to first evaluate what products are in their home. Take the time to pull out all of your cleaning products and read the label. Take all the products that say danger, poison or contain bleach and ammonia need to be place in a plastic garbage bag. Call your local sanitation department and ask them how to dispose of these products safely.
Let’s talk about how what kind of organic cleaners you really want to use. Many companies market their products to be green but aren’t organic. Those products that are marked with the USDA Organic seal guarantees it is at least 95% organic and made with organic ingredients means it is a least 70% organic.
There is no need to go out and buy a bunch of organic cleaners when you can get one organic all-purpose cleaner that you can use to clean many areas of the house. You need to be aware that most true green cleansers are superconcentrated and last a lot longer then traditional cleaning products.Think about buying a largest size of your chosen organic cleaner so you save the envirorment with one less plastic bottle.
If you’re not willing to spend the extra dough on organic household cleaners, there’s no need to worry – your kitchen cupboard is absolutely stuffed with natural cleaners that can be used on everything from metal surfaces to mold in the bathroom! For example, white vinegar is an all-natural super-cleaner, as you can use it to remove stains in your carpeting (simply soak it onto the stain, then wash with water – the stain should come out immediately) or to unclog your shower head (soak in a cup of vinegar for about an hour, then rinse with water). Another great cleaning product is baking soda, as you can use it to clean your refrigerator and microwave – simply make a paste of baking soda and water, then rub onto stains or dirty sports. Furniture polish can be subsituted for olive oil. Air fresher can be eliminated when you think that being clean smells a certain smell. Open your windows to get fresh air when you can and use essential oils when it is too cold outside. Once you discover all of the great cleaners in your kitchen, you’ll never want to buy another commercial cleaning product again!
Keeping your house clean the organic way is not only more environmentally-friendly; it’s the best way to keep your family safe from the toxins and chemicals that can often be found in more conventional cleaners. Make the switch to organic household cleaners you’ll protect your family from harmful exposure caused by more conventional cleaners!
