Why Green Cleaning is the Way to Go
M
ost of us don’t take much enjoy- ment in cleaning house. (Lucky you if you do – and can you head
over to our places?!) It’s a chore that needs done and we usually try to get through it as fast as possible. That’s why many of us find ourselves in the cleaning products aisle, looking for that miracle product that will clean for us while we take a nap or drink a nice glass of organic wine on the porch.
Unfortunately, there’s no such miracle
product. And some of those products that make your place sparkle are doing a num-
ber on your body! It’s frightening how little regulation exists for cleaning products and how much research exists on the toxicity of many cleaning products out there. This is not intended to be a scary so we won’t dwell on this too much. But don’t take our word for it. Check out resources like Metro Portland, Environmental Working Group. Oh, and not only are manufactur- ers not required to list these nasty ingredi- ents on the label, they usually don’t. So label reading will not necessarilyy help you here! Bah humbug! But don’t panic! You don’t need to be
a chemist to clean green. Just a bit of bak- ing soda, castile soap, vinegar, and some essential oils, along with a little elbow grease, is all it takes! So read on and enjoy your cleaning this spring, knowing not only are you protecting your health, you’re saving money, the planet, and you’re get- ting an aromatherapy treatment at the same time! How’s that for multi-tasking?
