Spring is the traditional time to deep clean the home. Unfortunately, most people equate clean with dangerous chemicals. If the house doesn’t smell like bleach or ammonia, it must be harboring dirt and germs. At least that is what advertisers would have us to believe.

This spring — don’t wage war on your home! Don’t clean with chemicals that are essentially poisoning both family members and the outside environment. If you need ventilation and heavy gloves to clean your house, isn’t that reason for concern?

It is entirely possible to effectively clean and even to disinfect your home with safer cleaning products. There are environmentally-friendly cleaning products on the market that don’t require child safety caps. There are environmentally-friendly cleaning products on the market that can be used together with absolutely no worries about producing dangerous gas.

So as the weather improves, insist on spring greening your home! Your family will thank you.
