Green Up Your Spring Clean Up
Spring is here and the forsythia and tulips are starting to bloom. Being cooped up indoors this long winter has me itching to get outside. Before I do that I need to make sure I start this season off with a clean fresh home. I got thinking about the idea of spring cleaning and I nearly gagged.
Spring Cleaning Option #1. I decided to take a walk down the cleaning isle at my local grocery store. The first thing I noticed was that this was going to cost me a fortune. The second thing I noticed was that this spring cleaning thing just might kill me…literally. Have you ever read the labels on some of those chemicals? Talk about chemicals soup. I was afraid for my life. Warnings all over the bottles. That can’t be healthy at all. I was not going to expose myself or my family to those harsh, toxic, dangerous chemicals.
This process led me to Spring Cleaning Option #2. Researching Eco-Friendly cleaning solutions was not the easiest task. After my research I’m going to be forced to build a special cleaning cabinet just to house the number of products I must purchase in order to clean all the different surfaces in my home the Natural and Eco-Friendly way.
These products may be Eco-Friendly but what about all those plastic bottles ending up in the landfill. At this point I started wondering if I was going to have to revert to using my grandmother’s formula for cleaning… Vinegar. Love that smell. Um, not so much. There has got to be an alternative and I’m here to tell you I have found it. STEAM.
Spring Cleaning Option #3. As soon as I was introduced to cleaning with steam I knew I was never going back to the antiquated way our mothers and grandmothers used. I can clean and sanitize every surface in my home with just regular tap water. Now, plain old drinkable water is the only fluid I need, and I have total piece of mind knowing I’m cleaning with no toxic chemicals.
Cleaning with steam eliminates all those harsh chemicals. It’s compact, easily stored, efficient, effective and very simple to use. I clean everything from my delicate plants, hardwood floors, tile, grout, sinks, appliances, toys, electronics, upholstery, windows and even detail my car. The possibilities with my steam cleaner are endless.
Now there is no need for me to wait for a big spring clean. All I have to do is clean something once and it stays cleaner longer because there are no chemicals left over to attract more dirt.
Got to run. My spring cleaning is taken care of so I’m going to get outside and scratch that itch. Make sure you look into steam cleaning as one of your spring cleaning choices. I highly recommend cleaning with steam as an alternative to all other cleaning methods.
