Slow Home: Green Cleaning Tips

Honestly, Brooke and Ben thought they might be testing the friendship by having a series of shows about cleaning, but it turns out many of you are keen on learning more about how they’ve shifted to sustainable products over the past few years. 

Today they go a little further than last week (where they extolled the significant virtues of white vinegar) by looking at a handful of additional products that when combined with vinegar and a little elbow grease, will help you clean virtually every surface in your house.

As mentioned last week, making these really simple changes helps you to:

• save money
• keep it simple, as most products have many uses
• minimise harmful chemicals or harsh commercial cleaners used in your home
• protect yourself and the environment

And by using bicarb soda, citric acid and a couple of different essential oils you can greatly increase the range of your green cleaning products. They also talk about the commercial products they do still use, and why, as well as offering another simple action to try this week. Head over to http://www.slowyourhome.com/144 for all the details.

In the meantime, enjoy your week!
