Mr. Green

I know lots of mamas out there will be "degreasing" their homes over the next few weeks, franticly cleaning everything in sight and some things out of sight, to get ready for family visiting for the Holidays. An an article from The Green Guide gives us tips for getting squeaky clean with recipes for safe, non-toxic cleansers for your home.

"What should a clean house smell like? If you said "bleach," it's time to rethink your housekeeping routine. Many cleaning products contain chemicals that pose human health risks and pollute our waterways after they disappear down the drain. Fortunately, there are plenty of all-natural, highly effective products on the market that don't contain harsh ingredients like chlorine (toxic when inhaled), ammonia (which irritates lungs and airways), phosphates (which harm aquatic ecosystems), and alkyphenol ethoxylates (suspected hormone disruptors). But there's an even easier, more affordable solution: make your own gentle, nontoxic cleansers at home. These recipes from The Green Guide will get your home sparkling-clean without the harsh, unhealthy additives."
