Nothing like the scent of nose-burning bleach to tell you something's clean…right? Weird, we know. So get down and dirty with cleaner, um, cleaners - and otherwise eco-fy your springtime scouring. No need to plug your nose…
If Nothing Else, Try This...
Make a pledge to switch out your, well, Pledge...and other conventional cleaners - most are packed with nasty chems that worsen indoor air quality and can make their way into rivers and lakes by way of the drain. Next time you run out of a standard cleaner, opt for an eco-friendlier replacement (see “Come Clean” for our fave alternatives). And if you've got products you'll never use or want to get rid of pronto, just make sure you dispose of 'em safely. It's the way to go - we swear.
STAT: In 2004, traditional cleaning products were responsible for about 9% of calls to poison control centers.
