CLEANING

CLEANING IN AND AROUND YOUR HOME

In our homes, all of us use different types of cleaners and cleaning techniques.

The purpose of this TOPIC is to allow you to share ideas about how we can become more sustainable in our efforts to clean our homes -- ideas about how we can save electricity, or reduce or dependence on non-renewable resources (e.g. petroleum products), or use just a few inexpensive cleaners instead of succumbing to commercial seductions.

Please share your thoughts on one or more of the following topics.

•                How can we reduce the number of cleaning products used in our homes?

•                How might we can switch from petroleum-based materials to those made exclusively from plant materials?

•                Can we reduce the amount of energy we use while cleaning our homes?

•                What has been your experience in reducing the variety of cleaners in your home ?

Other possibilities?
