Cleaning Recipe for a Green Home
Even if you do not have bamboo floors and solar panels on your roof, you can still make your home more ecologically sound. One of the simplest ways to go green involves swapping chemical-laden cleaning products for simple household cleaners. In addition to eliminating unnecessary chemicals, fragrances and irritants from your home, you will also save money, as most green cleaning substances require a few cheap, often natural, ingredients. As with all cleaning supplies, keep materials out of the reach of children and pets.
Green Ideas for the Home
You do not need to live in a home built of re-purposed materials and lined with solar panels to go green. Small changes in your daily habits, home decor and landscaping have a dramatic impact on energy and water consumption, as well as the reduction of chemical use in your household. If going green feels overwhelming, begin with implementing one green idea for the home per week, such as switching from paper napkins to cloth napkins, and proceed from there.
