Household Cleaning

Household CleaningBaking Soda – cleans and deodorizes.

Soap – unscented natural soap in liquid form, flakes, powders or bars is biodegradable and will clean just about anything.

Lemon – a natural acid that is effective against most household bacteria.

Borax – Cleans, deodorizes, disinfects, softens water, cleans wallpaper, and is good for cleaning painted walls and floors.

Washing Soda – also known as “SAL Soda” - cuts grease, removes stains, softens water, cleans wall, tiles, sinks and tubs.

White Vinegar – cuts grease, removes mildew, odors, some stains and removes wax build-up.

Plastics

Limit use of plastic bottles.

Be aware of other common sources of BPA (e.g. stay away from children’s toys marked with a “3” or “PVC.”)

Replace your plastic shower curtains.

Use cast iron cookware - avoid non stick pans, pots, bakeware and utensils.

Rather than dry cleaning, use wet. Tell your dry cleaner not to use the plastic wrap or remove it as soon as possible. Let your dry cleaning air out (preferably outside) before you put it away.
