Tip of the week
Now that spring is here, the ants are trying to find a way into your home. Sprinkle some Cayenne Pepper (orange in color), or baby powder (if white is less noticeable around your foundation) around the perimeter of your foundation. The ants do not like to cross the line.

3. Make your own green cleansers, Glisten dishwasher cleaner is great for this.
4. Buy the least toxic product and use it correctly all of the products we sell at She Hasit are non-toxic.
5. Make a green clean kit
6. Safely dispose of hazardous cleaning products

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:

• Food preparation surfaces
• Utensils
• Cleaning rags, old cotton shirts, towels, Pacific Dry Goods Super Sponges or Chef Towl which are easy to clean afterwards.
• Sponges

Buy the Least Toxic Product and Use it Correctly
If elbow grease and making your own green cleaners is not enough, take these steps when buying household cleaners:

• Avoid products marked Poison or Danger; These words indicate the highest level of hazard, under federal law.
• Buy product at the She Hasit site where you will be sure to purchase safe cleaners.
• Be careful with products marked ;Caution; or Warning, which carry moderate hazard.
• Always read labels and follow the directions.
• Never mix cleaning products, such as those containing chlorine with those containing ammonia.

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 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.
