As the weather heats up and those April showers bring May flowers, you know it's springtime. Oh happy days, spring has sprung, oh joy...spring cleaning? Nowadays most of us are concerned about our environment and rightfully so. "Going green" isn't just a fun fad, it's a responsibility that lies in all our hands. But how does one go green in their spring cleaning efforts? Being environmentally responsible has the added bonus of our spring cleaning becoming less expensive than if we were to use standard everyday commercial cleaners. This article will provide you with some ideas on how to conduct your spring cleaning the safe "environmentally friendly" way. Let's start with some easy things such as... Cleaning the air in your home that has had its windows shut during the winter time is as simple as opening them. Cleaning your homes air is especially vital if you've used any cleaners which contain chemicals or if you've done any redecorating and in the process used any paints, these chemical fumes are probably still lingering inside your home. Opening the windows in your home is the easiest and fastest method to get all that stale air out of your house. It is best to do this when the weather outside is sunny and warmer.Wanting to add an appealing aroma to your home without the need for those chemical air fresheners? How about bringing home some fresh-cut flowers or purchase an inexpensive bowl and place potpourri into it. If you're wanting to rid your home of cooking or pet odors, simply leave a box of good old-fashioned baking soda on a shelf in your kitchen or behind the family sofa. Doing this will allow the baking soda to absorb the odors instead of trying to cover them up with an artificial air freshener. When you're house cleaning use nature's cleaners such as water, baking soda, lemon juice, and white vinegar. These natural products are easy to find, very inexpensive and they'll work as good for you as they did for Grandma. Vinegar can be used as a stand-alone product or you can mix it with some H20. You can use vinegar to clean just about anything from bathroom counters to walls and floors as well as household plumbing fixtures. You can use baking soda to rid your carpets of odors as well as the air by sprinkling some on your carpet 10-15 minutes before vacuuming. You can also mix baking soda with some water to form a cleansing paste for scrubbing tubs, toilets and counters. To further aid our environment, make use of discarded t-shirts for your cleaning chores instead of making use of paper towels. This way you'll keep old clothing out of our landfills and by eliminating the use of paper towels, you'll provide some relief for our forests as well.To be green in your cleaning of metals, follow these tips: To polish brass, simply sprinkle some salt on half of a lemon, then rub the lemon on your brass items. Complete the cleaning process by buffing your brass with a dry clean cloth. To make a silver polish, place some aluminum foil into the bottom of a glass bowl followed by a sprinkling of baking soda as well as some salt. Then pour some warm water in the bowl and begin to soak your silver. All tarnish from your silver items will attract itself to the foil by means of natural electrolysis.
