Ingredients for Green Cleaning ~ Protect the Environment!
Protecting and Preserving the environment starts right in your own home. Here are some items that will not only save you money, but are also safer for you, those you care about, and for the environment.
PURE SOAP: Soap biodegrades safely and completely, and is non-toxic. Make sure that you use
soap without synthetic scents, colors or other additives. Even phosphate-free biodegradable laundry detergent contributes to water pollution.
VINEGAR (FIVE PERCENT ACETIC ACID): Vinegar is a mild disinfectant which cuts grease, cleans glass, deodorizes and removes calcium deposits, stains and wax build -up.
EUCALYPTUS OIL: Eucalyptus oil is a good disinfectant and deodorizer. It gets rid of some stairs like ink and grease. It even kills and repels some insects and even attacks rust.
WASHING SODA (SODIUM CARBONATE): A key ingredient for washing clothes, washing soda cuts grease, removes stains, disinfects and softens water. Washing soda should not be used on aluminum.
BAKING SODA (BICARBONATE OF SODA): Baking soda works well as an abrasive in alternative recipes. Baking soda also deodorizes, removes stains, polishes, and softens fabrics.
