Spring is Near, Don't Ruin It With Chemicals at Home

Here's a scary thought: The average family home contains between 500 and 1000 chemicals. If that isn't toxic to the health and safety of you and your kids, I don't know what is. Don't panic though. In this post I'm going to give you some ideas about how to easily start detoxing your house just in time for spring cleaning.

Yikes! All those toxins in our home...  MommyBlogExpert.com

What an eye-opening experience this was for me. Thanks to Zerorez, a floor to furniture chemical-free cleaning company serving a huge swath of Southern California, we just had our very challenging dirty carpets cleaned -- the before and after pictures will knock your socks off.

Not only did Zerorez restore our rugs to cleanliness, their 10 Ways to Detox Your House tips also got me thinking about all the other ways you can get the house sparkling clean without unnecessarily exposing your family to anything hazardous.

My own ideas for a cleaner greener home

• Use at-home solutions like vinegar and water instead of store-bought bottled chemical cleaners for washing windows, counters and tile walls in your bathroom
• Avoid exposing your pets to any of the same unhealthful cleaning chemicals that you don't want your family to breath in or make contact with
• Edit your cleaning supplies regularly by gradually using more green products to replace the nasty toxic ones
• Read labels carefully when purchasing "green" cleaning products because there are many of these that still contain toxic ingredients
• Get rid of clutter in your house, attic and garage that is providing even more surfaces where dust can land
• Clean your dust covered electric fans at the beginning of spring with a simple solution of soap and water, making sure it is not plugged in when you work on it
• Make sure to vacuum carpets regularly as well as have them deep cleaned professionally without chemicals at least once every 6 months to year
