One of the easiest ways to switch to “green cleaning” is to make
your own cleaning supplies. It sounds kind of intimidating but it’s actually
very easy and cost effective. Reflect on your grandmothers and your great
grandmothers – they were cleaning green and didn’t even know it! They
didn’t have all these fancy, chemical laden cleaners to choose from. They
had simple, non-toxic recipes that they used. Their homes were clean and
non-toxic – “green” before it was the trend. (Just think about how long that
generation lived – could there be a connection to their longevity and their
lack of exposure to harmful chemicals in cleaning supplies and food?
Something to think about!)
