Spring Cleaning Tips from Keeping it Green N Clean!

​The warm weather has arrived and its time to throw open the windows and get started on what you have been dreading!  But wait, you have already started, just by opening your windows!

Inside air is far more polluted than outside air!
On a nice sunny day open your windows and let that fresh air in.  Sunshine through windows can kill bacteria that live in dust! 
Stop dirt at the front door mat, how bad is it?
Clean it up, or pick out a new fun one!  It has been outside all winter along with who knows what.  Its the first way to reduce the amount of dirt, pesticides and other pollutants from getting in your home.
What you clean your home with is as important as how you clean your home. 
Be picky about your cleaning products!  Avoid harmful products, and be an ingredient detective!  Make your own or find a good non toxic brand that you like.  Mr Green products are my personal favorite. They are non toxic, they smell wonderful, (essential oils) and best of all they work!
Clean your fans, all of them! 
All ceiling fans and exhaust fans(bathroom, stove) spread dirt and germs.  Take down and scrub or put in the dishwasher.
Here's one many of you may miss.  De-gunking faucet aerators and shower heads.  If you look closely, there's all that black stuff.  Not a pretty thing, mildew isn't what you want while taking a shower or washing your face and hands.  Here's how to remove it; Unscrew the aerators, sink sprayer and shower heads and give them a bath in a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water.  Soak for 1-2 hours and scrub free and rinse.  
Last but not least! Toilet bowl scrubbers. 
After 1 year, throw them away.  They are not that expensive but they sure hold horrible germs and bacteria.  Need I say more?  Happy Spring Everyone!
