The Joy of Green Cleaning

Posted on December 2, 2012

I have a dream…that one day my home will be completely free of harsh chemicals! I was raised to use these toxic chemicals. My mother says “If you’re not using Clorox, it’s not clean!”. My mother even uses it in her dish water especially when someone gets sick in the home. I thought this was how it was done! (Sorry Mom!) Now I cringe when I smell bleach. Lysol All Purpose Cleaner gives me a raging headache.

What is my “why” when it comes to green cleaning? I didn’t actually start to make green, non-toxic changes until I became pregnant and started thinking about my daughter’s health. I thought about how she would be crawling on the floors absorbing toxic chemicals through her skin and mouth. They would be present on her clothes and inhaling these chemicals that kill brain cells, cause cancer, and irritate your skin. If you have kids you know that their skin is very sensitive and their guts are very permeable and these chemicals would quickly get in to her blood stream and wreck havoc. Not only did I think about the cleaners but also the baby products like shampoos and lotions. Another reason

why, is that we over do it when it comes to anti-bacterial products. We have been raised to think that killing all bacteria is good for us…WRONG. Most people don’t realize that there are good bacteria and bad bacteria. Antibacterial cleaners kill everything leaving the strongest bacterias to survive and get stronger. This results in the creation of super bacteria that become resistant to the antibacterial agents you use to kill them. You may actually be doing more harm to yourself by using these harsh chemicals to kill them then what the bad bacteria you are trying to kill may do to you.

So all this non-toxic talk brings me to my latest blog post which is really a book review of The Joy of Green Cleaning.  I absolutely love this recipe book! It’s a great handy resource book for green cleaning.  It was written by Leslie Reichert aka Green Cleaning Coach whose mission is to teach and encourage others in the art of home-keeping and green cleaning. In her book, Leslie explains what is the big deal about greening your cleaning. She says that most regular cleaning can be done without any toxic chemicals. It is true that you can clean with non-toxic items already in your pantry such as baking soda, vinegar, sea salt, lemon juice, and hydrogen peroxide.

Bucket-less Mopping

Using a traditional mop and bucket can leave you feeling a little bit like a scurvy pirate mopping the deck of a ship with some dirty sea water. The water in the bucket gets dirty, you have to lug the water wherever you want to clean, and sometimes the floor doesn't even look cleaner after mopping. However, all of the hassle and grind of using a bucket is unnecessary. To learn about a faster, easier way to mop your floors, follow the link below to the third part in my ten video series that will help you achieve a safer, greener, and cleaner home.

Fox TV -Living Well With Leslie Reichert, The Cleaning Coach

Leslie Cleans Up On FOX News

Here are some of the things we talked about while cleaning up at the FOX News studio. I showed Danielle some of the great new products you can use for greening your cleaning. Some of my favorites are Whatever by BetterLife and Modern Mermaids all purpose cleaner. I also brought my favorite "blue" cloth to clean all the stainless steel and glass. And instead of paper towels, try a Skoy cloth. See cleaning can be fun if you have the right tools!

What is a "Skoy"?

I just uploaded a video about my favorite item for my kitchen. No it's now a sauce pan or even a cool new appliance - it's a Skoy Cloth! If you haven't tried one yet, you need to contact me and I'll find a way to get you one!

A Skoy Cloth is imported from Europe and it's so funny that when I talk about the Skoy with anyone from overseas, they all know exactly what I'm talking about. A Skoy is a cross between a paper towel and a sponge. It's biodegradable and very economical. I ran the numbers and one Skoy is the equivalent to 15 rolls of paper towels. Since most paper towels are running about two bucks a roll, we are talking about $30.00. One Skoy costs around 2 bucks.

A Skoy Cloth really lasts a long time. On the back of the package, it says 6 weeks but I think I'm going on 6 months or more on some of mine! Watch the video and you can learn some other ways to disinfect a Skoy and how to make it last much longer!

If you want to buy a pack of 4 Skoy Cloths, you can go here and place an order. If you use the word "skoy" in the checkout, you will get free shipping!

Happy Cleaning!

Green cleaning in a pinch

Sometimes you have to hear if from someone else. This is from Liz R. Thought you might like to hear how simple things do really work!

"I have a funny story for you. Last weekend we ran out of dishwasher detergent and Hubby wanted me to pick some up when I was at the store. Because I'm cheap, I told him we could make our own from the recipe in your book. He was skeptical, as usual. I made the batch as per the recipe in your book (The Joy of Cleaning). We ran it with the load of dishes in the dishwasher and voila! Sparkling clean dishes. The Green Cleaning Diva strikes again in converting a skeptic to use natural ingredients for cleaning! We'll never go back to Cascade dishwashing detergent again! Thanks ;)"

If you want to see how to make the dishwashing soap she's talking about you can watch this video for the directions. Give it a try- it really works!
