Eco tip for April This month of the year is often a time for thorough cleaning of your home. Opting for homemade cleaning products or environmentally-friendly products is sustainable, safer and cleaner. White vinegar, baking soda, lemon, salt and essential oils are all household products that make great cleaning solutions. See what household commercial products and plastics you can eliminate! An extra benefit is you know what goes into your local environment, so you don’t have to worry about pollutant chemicals. Comments are closed.
