Keep it clean and green.

Use cleaning products without toxic chemicals. It recommends calling companies to ask for full ingredients lists and to check online at ewg.org and epa.gov

Avoid products with vague terms such as preservatives and surfactants and choose certified green products where possible (which can be found on greenseal.org and environmentalchoice.com)

Go through your cupboards and throw away anything that isn't green (this is presuming you can easily afford to replace everything!).

Try using homemade cleaning products instead.

I have done washing and dishes. No othet cleaning products have sullied my environment this week Grin Not entirely sure that's something to be proud of Confused

I've been on holiday so most of the healthy changes have gone out of the window this week! Need to get back on it.
I'm pretty good with eco cleaning products though. I use a lot of vinegar & bicarb, the bleach only comes out if someone has a stomach bug. I've also recently switched to using hair products that are free from silicones, parabens etc.

Joining you with the eco-friendly non cleaning of house. Dc are still off school, don't see the point of doing it properly when they will make a mess again in five minutes. Have another week of them bickering and fighting, and no cleaning, to look forward to.

That looks beautiful DrDiva, glad you're having a good time. Not jealous at all Hmm Grin

I have been thoroughly pants with everything lately. Hurt my back so I've been drinking lots of tea rather than water and eating painkillers which always knocks my appetite out. Probably need it after the amount of chocolate that has been scoffed anyway. Not sleeping great either. Ahh well, hopefully next week will be better.
