Quick Green Spring Cleaning Ideas
It’s too early to do much outdoors here in Chicago, which leaves us working inside with the sun shining on us. Here’s a few ideas!
1. Open the windows. The best way to get dirty air moving out and fresh air moving in is to open the doors and windows. Feel the breeze.
2. Skip the air fresheners. Buy fresh flowers! An open box of baking soda, cedar blocks, or dried flowers also add natural fragrance to the room.
3. Use vegetable-based cleaning products like those made with coconut oil. Many detergents are made from petrochemicals, just like expensive gas.
4. Nature’s cleaning miracle, vinegar can be used to clean just about anything. Use it straight to clean kitchen floors or wash windows, mix it with baking soda and essential oils to clean sinks and more.
5. Recycle what you are not using. Donate first. Then take items that don’t belong in our Blue or Black Carts to the City of Chicago site at 1150 North Branch Street for disposal of these items --- use the link here http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/doe/supp_info/household_chemicalscomputerrecyclingfacilityoverview.html

Great spring cleaning ideas. This year I used some of them and I must say that they worked quite well. The cleaning with natural products seems to be a nice way to reduce the toxic influence at home.
