Accidentally Green

Making Healthy Decisions That Honor God and Happen to Help the Environment

Greening Your Cleaning

Within a couple of weeks, the holiday season will be in full swing. If you’re planning on hosting parties and dinners, you’ll be cleaning your home beforehand.

This year, instead of reaching for a toxic spray for a quick clean, use products that won’t hurt you, your family, and your guests. Throughout the next two weeks I’ll highlight dangerous products that are typically used, along with homemade alternatives – and I’ll share what I use in my own home.

Creating your cleaning concoctions

If you’re looking for frugal and safe ways to clean, you’ll want to try to make your own cleaning products. Stock up on:

  • Baking soda
  • Castile soap
  • Essential oils
  • Hydrogen peroxide
  • Lemons
  • Salt
  • Washing soda
  • White vinegar

I’ve gathered and attempted recipes over the past six years, and I’ll share my most effective ones, starting tomorrow.

However, it’s worth noting that over the past half year I’ve stopped making my own cleaning concoctions and use Norwex products to quickly clean my entire home. No muss, no fuss. (Or, as my young daughter loves to say, “Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.”) I love the simplicity and speed – I’ll gladly let you know what I use.

What are some of your favorite safe cleaning methods?
