Eco Friendly House Cleaning the Do's and Don'ts

There are so many options to the trend of "Going Green" but how do you know that you are REALLY going green. I mean it can't be that hard to slap a little label on a bottle, and say, hey there were eco-friendly. The only real way to know is to do your research and understand what to look for.

First, is to stop buying products with the words FLAMMABLE, TOXIC, HARMFUL or anything like that. this means the ingredients are lethal to you and probably the earth also.

Next, stop trying to "buy" a fresh scent. The only way to get that clean, fresh scent is to actually clean, or get your house cleaned.  Products with artificial scents usually contain earth damaging chemicals.

Stop with the antibacterial gels. The best way to kill germs and bacteria is old fashioned soap and water. of course, if that's not an option, antibacterial gels are a great back up plan.

Now that we got all the DON'T's out of the way lets focus on all the ways you CAN go green!

Do check the ingredients in your cleaning products. Anything artificial, chemical, or harmful should be avoided.

Also, watch for products carrying the certified "green" label authorized by the Environmental Protection Agency's Design. These are tested and have passed an eco-friendly test.

Another easy way is to buy products requiring the use of cold water vs hot water. The energy it takes to heat up water is already a huge waste. Cold water is just as effective as hot when used properly.

Concentrated formulas are also better since they reduce production and waste from packaging and usually save you money.

Well, that's a quick start to getting you and your house "GREEN". There are always way to clean without using damaging chemicals or producing mass waste. Visist http://www.keepinitclean.biz/ for more info!
