Uses of Soap in Daily Life — The Greenest Cleaner You Can Find
It can be all too easy to get bogged down in the complicated details of buying the “best” cleaning product, so we forget about the simple things we already have at hand.

We’ve already looked at what to avoid in chemical cleaners and what to look for in eco-cleaners.

Environmentally Safe Cleaning Products for the Home (Ultimate Guide)
If you are switching to eco-friendly cleaning products, chose wisely.
Manufacturers are marketing savvy experts in selling us what they think we want, whether or not it really is what we hope for.

Green Cleaning Products for Your Toilet (Best Practices, DIY, 7th Generation Review)
We’ve had a little look at the chemicals to avoid in conventional cleaners. If we want to make our cleaning eco-friendly, we need to do more than assume a simple green cleaner is a safe cleaning product.
Are we using a safe cleaner, or a toxic accident waiting to happen? We need to get label savvy and find out what are the non toxic chemicals to look out for to make sure our green cleaning products are environmentally friendly.
Toilet cleaner may probably be the most toxic, regularly used conventional cleaner in many homes. Oh sure, drain cleaner is worse, but we don’t usually clean our drains every day! Toilet cleaner and bleach are very regular additions to our toilet bowls, making their ingredients very regular additions to our waste water, and their fumes regular additions to our household air.
Ensuring you use safe household cleaners in the bathroom is the first place you should be thinking about switching to an eco-friendly alternative. How you clean your bathroom and toilet will have the biggest, most immediate impact on your health and the environmental damage done by your household.

The Value of a Multipurpose Cleaner (How to Make Your Own)
One of the most important elements of green cleaning is losing the idea of needing to use a specific cleaning product for every different cleaning job. Part of the whole frugal living and environmentally aware lifestyle should be the efficient use of products we consume. So why buy 10 different products when a larger quantity of one simple green cleaner will do?
Is the dirt really so different in the kitchen and bathroom? I don’t think so! Of course I wouldn’t use the same cloth to clean the toilet seat as I would to clean the counter tops, but the actual cleaning product? I want both places to end up clean, so why do I need two cleaners? Continue reading “The Value of a Multipurpose Cleaner (How to Make Your Own)”
The List of 18 Toxic Cleaning Chemicals in Everyday Products
I’m sure many people with good intentions buy green cleaning products to help the environment or reduce the risk of exposure to toxins for their families at home. But, before we start replacing a specific chemical cleaner with a green cleaning product, we need to see if it is worth making the switch.
Some of the chemical cleaners in our homes may not be so dangerous anyway, so it makes sense to look at the worst offenders first.
Start with the most toxic, dangerous or polluting chemical cleaners, and swap those for a green cleaning product first. That way your change has the biggest and quickest impact on the health of your family and the planet.
