Can You Keep A Clean Home And Care For The
Environment?
2

• Two of the best ways of ensuring that keeping
  your home clean doesnt harm the environment, is
  by correctly storing any toxic products such as
  those used for cleaning or for killing bugs and
  wherever possible, making your own non-toxic
  cleaning products, or buying them from a store.

3

• Begin by placing all toxic products that you
  need, into safe storage
• Whether we realise it or not, most of us have
  many potentially poisonous products lurking under
  our sinks or in cupboards, and over time, small
  amounts of the poisons can be omitted from the
  bottles and aerosol cans. This can obviously
  present a health hazard for members of your
  household, and for the environment.

4

• Place every product that contains poisonous
  substances, into a clearly labelled cupboard or
  box that small children cannot reach.
• Safely dispose of unwanted hazardous goods
• No hazardous material should be poured down the
  sink or simply placed in the trash, as theyll
  quickly end up polluting the waste stream or
  leaching out into landfills, so if you do have
  toxic products that you want

5

• to get rid of, you should contact your local
  centre responsible for recycling, or your
  town/city hall.
• Make, or buy, your own natural products for use
  around the home
• Many store cupboard ingredients can in fact be
  used to make highly effective cleaning products,
  such as lemons, bicarbonate of soda and vinegar.
  Try to avoid products containing chlorine bleach,
  as this can be

6

• especially harmful for the environment. If you
  need to buy a stronger product for tackling bugs
  or simply dont have the time or inclination to
  make your own products, then simply buy them from
  a store, being sure to carefully check that the
  ingredients are not harmful in any way.
• Try to conserve water
• Clean water is a precious commodity and dwindling
  resources mean that its in ever short supply.
  Conserving it wherever possible, such as taking

7

• shorter showers and swapping baths for showers,
  or not running the faucet while we brush our
  teeth, all contribute towards saving water, and
  will cost you less money, too.
• Keep the air inside your home clean, with plant
  power
• Not only do houseplants look attractive, but they
  have been proven to reduce indoor air pollution,
  a problem that can have very real negative

8

• consequences for our health. Polluted air in the
  home can cause dizziness, asthma or allergies,
  and while the most common solution is to have
  ventilation systems installed, a cheaper way of
  tackling the problem is by growing an array of
  houseplants inside the home.
• These are just a few of the myriad ways in which
  you can keep a clean home while still taking care
  of the environment, and as you have read, all are
  perfectly doable and in most cases, cheap. So,
  whats your excuse?
