Earth Day: Green Cleaning Your Home

Today is Earth Day! If you’re on a mission to tidy up your home over the weekend, now is the perfect time to be mindful of how we can do so in a way that not only keeps things clean, but also helps give back to the environment. Here are three green cleaning methods we recommend:


Eco-Friendly Products
Did you know that household poisonings are one of the greatest threats to our health? The biggest culprit of these poisonings is your household cleaners. So look under your sink, grab all the chemical cleaners you have, and read each label. You want to avoid bleach and other dangerous chemicals. A telltale sign that these products are full of chemicals is that they will display the words poison, danger, caution, or warning. Replace these products with non-toxic cleaners or natural ingredients such as white distilled vinegar, baking soda, and lemon.

Recycling
From morning newspapers to glass, take a moment to consider all the products in your home that can be recycled. Establish a bin for plastic items and dispose of them separately from other waste products. 

Donate
Once spring cleaning is complete, create a box for donations. There are many clothing, kitchen, and home decor items that could find a second life somewhere else, with someone who needs it. Drop off your donations at a local Salvation Army or Goodwill. You could also try Craigslist or drop your items off with an artist who can reuse them. Not only will your home look less cluttered, but you’ll be doing your community a favor.
