(NC)-Once a year, most Canadians turn their homes upside down scrubbing, sweeping and dusting up a storm. This spring and summer, thanks to The Home Depot, Canadians have the opportunity to clean green with a wide selection of environmentally responsible products. Here are some ways to reduce toxicity levels in your home, cut down on cleaning time and save money:
Getting Started:
Keep your supplies where you'll use them. Instead of keeping all your cleaning supplies in one place, store them in the room where they will be used. Cleaning is quicker when you don't have to carry supplies from room to room!
The 15-minute clean:
If your kitchen is a disaster zone grab the Eco Mist Kitchen Plus Cleaner. For under $6 Eco Mist Kitchen Plus is great for everyday cleaning on ceramic and glass stovetops, countertops, sinks, faucets, cabinets, appliances and walls. Fifteen minutes is all it takes to make your kitchen look good as new!
The 30-minute clean:
Pack a one-two green punch by tackling the bathroom next. After the kitchen is done, grab the Eco Mist Tub and Tile Cleaner (under $6), and give a good spritz and scrub to the toilet. Since Eco Mist products are 100% non-toxic there's no need to worry if a family pet decides to take a drink from the bowl.
The 45-minute clean:
With the kitchen and bathroom taken care of why not tackle some of your home's surfaces with Eco Mist All Purpose Cleaner (under $20). Just pour some into a bucket with warm water, and in no time your counters, coffee tables and dining room surfaces will be spotless.
Start small with a few simple steps and, before you know it, you'll be living a greener lifestyle in no time. For more information on green products you can incorporate into your everyday routine, visit www.homedepot.ca.
