Resources: Clean Your House Without Dangerous Chemicals
..
“Homemade cleaning recipes, or “green” products, are easily found online, and will do as good a job as any chemical product you have in the pantry now.”
.
“…to make your own cleaning products, you’ll need vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, washing soda (Borax), olive oil and hydrogen peroxide. The latter is especially good to use on mold and mildew in bathrooms. Olive oil (or soy bean oil) makes good furniture polish.”
.
If you are thinking of switching to more natural products, the Environmental Protection Agency says to look on product labels for these factors:
» Minimizes exposure to concentrates
» No ozone depleting substances
» Recyclable packaging
» Recycled-content in packaging
» Reduced bioconcentration factor
» Reduced flammability
» Reduced or no added dyes, except when added for safety purposes
» Reduced or no added fragrances
» Reduced or no skin irritants
» Reduced or no volatile organic compounds
» Reduced packaging
