Fresh, clean and eco-friendly. There are numerous ways to create an environment with fewer harmful chemicals while also providing cleanliness and freshness.
Eco-friendly cleaning tips
Make your own cleanser. You can create a natural cleaning solution from baking soda, lemon juice and borax.
Clean windows and surfaces with lemon juice, vinegar and water.
Use reusable or washable rags for cleaning, as opposed to disposable paper towels.
Green scents
Consider herbs. From sage to lavender, these herbs can provide a fragrant and appealing scent throughout your space.
Incorporate oils. Pure essential oils are the most powerful.
Add greenery. Plants and trees are not only attractive but can also help to improve the air quality and oxygen in a home.
Purchase a diffuser. A diffuser can help spread fragrance throughout your home for an extended period of time.
Burn a soy candle. Candles made with natural elements help to provide a scent in a nontoxic way.
