"Green" Cleaning Tip #1

Most of us have no idea the horrible, harsh chemicals, that we not only clean with, but also inhale and put into our bodies. There are quite a few less expensive, and "eco-friendly" ways to clean, not only our homes, but our clothes, bodies, etc. Think that "Green" cleaning is expensive? It can be, if you go to Whole Foods, or other natural grocery stores, and buy the products on their shelves. However, one of the best, inexpensive, disinfectants is Vinegar!! Not to mention it's a great fabric softener! And you can drink it!!! I know most people don't like the smell of vinegar, but I would much rather smell vinegar for an hour than fill my home, and family, full of harsh chemicals and carrcenogens, wouldn't you?? We have been brain washed to think that unless it's full of chemicals, it doesn't disinfect, or completely clean. So wrong!


Top 10 Worst Cleaners!

-Drain Cleaner
-Oven Cleaner
-Toilet Cleaners
-Spot removers
-Silver/metal polishes
-Furniture Cleaners
-Cleansers/Powdered Cleaners
-Window Cleaners
-Bleach
-Liquid Cleaners

Not to mention all of these go back into our water!!!! There are a lot of great companies out there that you can get highly concentrated products from, in the mail, that are environmentally friendly and much less expensive than your common household cleaners. The one that I use, and really like is MellaLuca. They use little, to no, water in their products, because, why should they charge you for the water, and dilute their product, when you are going to use water in the bucket, toilet, or washing machine anyway??

The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth.
