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.

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
If elbow grease and making your own green cleaners is not enough, 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
  • 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.
