Green Spring Cleaning

I’m a big fan of going green. In fact, I have been consciously been working toward having a green home for quite some time. It’s not something I’ve been able to do overnight – it has taken some serious thought, planning and juggling of the budget. For example, I couldn’t just dump out my traditional laundry detergent and replace it with something more eco-friendly. That is neither earth conscious nor budget conscious. As I finish up something I have, I replace it with a ‘green’ product when I can.

A fellow MomMastermind member, Tiffany, is one of my resources for green, earth-friendly living. Her blog at Nature Moms is one I frequent. Like everyone else, Tiffany is blogging about Spring Cleaning (a very hot topic). I’ve joined her and you should too. I think you could pick-up some tips and tricks from her on how to incorporate a more earth conscious way of cleaning. Between me and Tiffany, your Spring Cleaning will be easy and green.

Just today, I was cleaning in the kitchen – specifically, the microwave and fridge. Instead of cleaning with a traditional, toxin-full cleaner, I used plain old hot water and vinegar to wipe down and clean the schmootz. Then, because both of these items can produce nasty bacteria from the foods they hold, I wiped them down with hydrogen peroxide. Now that’s being both environmentally and budget conscious!
