Green Cleaning Supplies Don’t have to Cost a Fortune

Using green cleaning supplies for your home or office is not only good for the environment, but good for your family and co workers as well. Cleaning chemicals can hinder asthma and other respiratory problems and cause skin irritations. Getting the chemicals out of the home or office will keep detergents and chemicals out of the water supply and aerosols out of the air we breathe.

Purchasing green home cleaning supplies is relatively easy with almost every type of store carrying some type of eco friendly cleaning supplies, and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Look for sales and coupons on name brand cleaning supplies. Discount stores carry lines of green cleaning supplies, as well as the big warehouse clubs. Warehouse clubs sell larger quantities, which are great to buy to keep at the office. The big hardware stores also sell large quantities and often have discounted prices. Many brands are offered online at a discount at big drugstore and discount store sites with many offering free shipping.

Another option is to make your own green cleaning supplies. It’s relatively easy with the purchase of a few simple, inexpensive ingredients. A great way to get perfectly clear glass is to mix white vinegar with water, spray and wipe clean. Baking soda is an excellent scrubber that works great on bath tubs and kitchen sinks. Lemon essential oil can be found at craft supply stores or online. Lemon oil is an excellent furniture polish, or can be mixed with water and use to clean wood floors. Another oil, Tea Tree, is an excellent disinfectant that can be used to wipe down baby furniture when added to witch hazel.
