Choose Safe cleaning products, Please!
Why use all natural cleaning products? Natural products work because the broad range of plant seeds contain surfactants, particular substances -- including fats, oils, waxes and alcohols-- that act as natural solvents and detergents. Product chemistries can rely on these basic construction materials to do a good job of cleaning. The primary benefit of plant-based cleaners is the facts that they are not only environmentally safe but are also safe to the skin. Bearing in mind that the skin is the body's largest organ and that whatever we use to clean with is actually being absorbed by the body, the beauty of natural cleaners is their lack of agents harmful to the body. They are also safe to breathe, since they have no fragrance . Although smell can be important, we have been trained to believe that something has to smell in order to be clean (when actually a clean smell has no smell at all!). In fact, the pith of oranges, a current favorite fragrance in cleaners, produces both citracine and delimining, both toxic agents that should be avoided. Even mosquitoes avoid these substances. Plant cleaners are naturally and readily biodegrade into the soil and environment, leaving no remaining residue. They don't react with other chemistries to polymerize or create off-gassing that we could smell, nor do they harm or react with surfaces, including our skin, fabrics, carpeting and textiles.

Take the "Green" Approach to Cleaning
Everybody wants a clean and healthy home. Taking the green approach avoids use of hazardous products, which protects your health and the environment.

Dont over clean
Most areas of your home--even bathroom surfaces--do not need to be disinfected to prevent illness.

The kitchen is the exception. Use very hot water and soap (or a very mild bleach solution) after every use to clean:
Buy the Least Toxic Product and Use it Correctly
Take these steps when buying household cleaners:

Make a Green Clean Kit
You can make a green cleaning kit to use around your house. All you need is the following ingredients and our recipes to make your own green cleansers.
  • A bucket, or recycle a old ice cream, cool whip type container
  • Spray bottle, put a tape label on the bottle to remind yourself and others what is in it.
  • Rag, scrubber, super sponge and a toothbrush
  • Vinegar and Baking soda OR Glisten dishwasher cleaner can be diluted in warm water as a safe cleaner.
  • Vinegar can be used to wash hardwood floors or tile when dilute in water. Baking soda is a safe scrubbing agent to remove grease buildup. Glisten dishwasher cleaner can be diluted in warm water as a safe cleaner for tubs, showers and toilets.


Safely Dispose of Hazardous Products
If you have leftover toxic cleaning products, offer them to others who can use them.
Otherwise, take them to a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Site.
