Spring is here and it is time for some Spring Cleaning! Green your home inside and out with some fresh and healthy ideas! Your children can help to participate with these spring cleaning ideas too because they are all safe and natural!
This week, try the following:
First, open all of you windows as much as you can to air out your home. Let the sunshine in and the oxygen from the outdoors filter out any built up dust from the long cold winter.
Second, be sure you and your children take on the leave your shoes at the door challenge! Simple and prevents outside toxic elements stuck to the bottom of shoes from getting all over the carpet.
Third, clean countertops and most surfaces with a mix 1/2 cup of white vinegar with 1/4 cup baking soda and a 1/2 gallon of water. This is much more effective and healthier than any chemically-processed products from the store.
Fourth, find a cleaner in your town that uses carbon dioxide cleaning or Green Earth to clean clothes rather than dry cleaning. Dry cleaning has formaldehyde and other harmful chemicals in the process.
Fifth, place some broad leaf green plants around your house, such as Peace Lily, Spider Plant, English Ivy, or an Elephant Ear Philodendron to further promote filtering of the air in your home.
In no time, you and your family will be enjoying a much healthier and cleaner home!
