Among all the things going green, cleaning is definitely one of the best for you and the environment. You don't even have to sacrifice a thorough clean just because you're cleaning with gentler products. If you're looking to make a change, here are some tips to get you on the road to going green. Use green cleaning products. It's easy to find cleaners that are non-toxic, made from plant-based substances and are biodegradable. Plant-based green cleaners usually have pleasant, natural oils like coconut or palm kernel. You can find products that are pH-neutral as well as scented or fragrance free. These safe, natural substances allow you to clean without being preoccupied with safety and worry. Second, make your air quality better. The chemicals from cleaning products can linger in the air and irritate your senses. This does not even take into account the natural pollutants that travel freely through the air. Typical air fresheners like sprays and candles can sometimes make problems worse. As an alternative you could choose natural air sprays or even boil a pot of some of your favorite spices or herbs. Besides using it in your fridge, you could sprinkle a bit of baking soda on your carpet before vacuuming to create a fresh scent. If you want to filter your air, you can buy a machine or consider growing a broad green leaf plant inside. Leave the toxins at the door and don't track them in. It's a real chore to keep floors clean and spotless. For all the dirt you see on your floors there are also many unseen toxins brought inside on your shoes. A quality doormat can help get rid of some of the unwanted substances. Having a no-shoe indoor policy is a good way to help the situation. Environmentally-friendly cleaning at home can begin with some of these ideas, but they certainly aren't the only ones. Substituting soap and water for antibacterial cleaners and disposing of harsh cleaners properly can be a good start for more green cleaning. There are many places where you can find environmentally-friendly ideas to implement in your daily life. By taking a few simple steps you can begin to live a greener lifestyle. It's up to you how green to make it. If you want to be a green cleaner, remember to be mindful of the ingredients going into the products you buy and of the substances that come into your home. It's easy to start being better to yourself, your home and the environment.
