Go Clean But Go Green and WIN Scott Naturals Products

As a mom have you ever thought about how many times you scrub a tub, shower, toilet, sink or mop your kitchen floors, how many loads of laundry you do each day or even the number of times each day you wipe down your kitchen counters.

To accomplish those many chores and tasks we need cleaning products. However,  many of our products are filled with toxins and unsafe chemicals for our families.  Could our families actually switch to using more Eco friendly or natural products to both help the environment and provide a safer chemical free environment for our families.
 
I began to search around to find out if there were ways to make Eco cleaning changes in our families. Here are the best three Go Green tips I found when it comes to our household chores to help us Go Clean but Go Green.

1. Eco Cleaning Kit:  Care2 shows us how to create a NON-toxic cleaning kit.  Click here for full how to instructions.

2. Cleaning uses with Vinegar:
Vinegar is a natural deodorizier and disinfectant that makes a great all purpose cleaner.

-mix 1 part water to 1 part vinegar for an all purpose cleaner that you can use on your counter tops, stove, appliances and stone and brick surfaces ( Do not use on marble)

-To get rid of toilet bowl rings pour vinegar around the inside rim of the toilet bowl and scrub till clean
-Use vinegar diluted with water to mop your bathroom and kitchen floors.



3. Cleaning uses with Baking Soda:
Baking soda is great at dissolving dirt, mildew and grease.  It also works as a natural deodorizer

-Makes a great all purpose cleaner by mixing 4 tablespoons baking mix with 1 quart warm water poured in to a spray bottle shake up and you have the easy to make great all purpose cleaner that you can use on anything from the bathtub to the fridge

-The best know Baking soda use is to place a box in the refrigerator and freezer to absorb odor

-A safe way to deoderize your carpets is to sprinkle baking soda onto your carpet before vacuuming to eliminate food and pet odors.

-A great cleaning polish for metals and plastics.
