Green Spring Cleaning

Clean

Every spring, the same urge to clean surges through households across the country. This year, though, as you open the windows and whip out the cleaning supplies, take time to stop and think of ways to go green.

Making environmentally conscious decisions is not relegated to any one area of life: it affects the types of products we purchase and the types of activities we enjoy. This time of year, it’s especially important to apply a green perspective to our cleaning routine. Here’s how:

1) Evaluate your chemicals.
In many cleaning products, harmful chemicals release pollutants that can damage the air you breathe. Look for natural ingredients like grain alcohol and coconut/plant oils in cleansers, or, alternatively, do a little research to learn how to make your own!

2) Look for reusable supplies.
Rather than going through rolls of paper towels while cleaning, opt for reusable rags and towels in order to minimize needless waste.

3) Conserve water.
Ideally, you’re looking to cut water use whenever possible, and this includes when cleaning. Turn the spout off unless you’re getting water; don’t just let it run.

All of the principles that apply to green living in everyday life apply to green cleaning.
