Tips on Living 'Green' : "Green" Cleaning
Poziom:
Temat: Środowisko
Hi, Nili Nathan with a word or two on cleaning
green. I want to tell you, avoid these products
that have chemicals in it. A very dangerous
one is chlorine. You want to read the labels
and make sure your products are chlorine free.
Chlorine has a byproduct called dioxin which
is a known carcinogen so this is a call to
action folks. Let's just rid the planet once
and for all of all these dangerous household
cleaners, including your paper goods. I want
you to check your coffee filters. Make sure
you buy brown ones with no chlorine and your
paper goods as well. Oh my, styrofoam, this
will be on the planet forever. When you go
to take out, bring your own containers, you
know you're going to take it out so bring
your own containers. This way we don't have
to keep producing these styrofoam containers
that are not biodegradable. Another thing
you can do is pick some natural cleaners.
Let me give you a few ideas here. Liquid castile
soap is wonderful. You can use this to clean
many things. Baking soda, this is a good scrub
for your kitchen sinks and your tiles in the
bathroom. Vinegar, this has been used for
decades as a natural cleaner. Now when it
dries, the odor goes away so you don't have
to worry about that. And when you're picking
your laundry detergent, make sure you are
a label detective, oh, this is great, they
recycle the container, it's got that little
recycle squiggly, that's great, it's a hundred
percent biodegradable. I love this stuff,
plant based, great, it's got lavender oil,
the essential oil. This is good for our bodies,
good for the environment. Let me show you
how easy it is to make a natural household
cleaner which is eco friendly, it's good for
the environment and it's good for our body
and our health, it's so simple to make. The
first choice you can use is just plain old
vinegar. Use one part vinegar to one part
water, put it in a spray bottle and you're
good to go. You can use this on almost anything,
your tiles, your counter tops, almost anything
except your wood and your furniture. Now that's
a real simple one using vinegar. You want
to get more advanced, what I do is I add to
this formula a couple of things. One hundred
percent pure essential oil of cinnamon. It
has antibacterial property, cleans really
well and disinfects and it smells so wonderful.
I will put about twenty drops, there we go.
And that works really fine if you want to
find even more and disinfect against germs,
I recommend tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is
excellent against a lot of bacteria and germs
so you can go ahead and add anywhere from
ten to twenty drops of tea tree oil in there.
And there you have it. Now be sure that you
label this with a marker so you know exactly
what you put in here. We'll just label it
just like that, cinnamon, and there you have
it. Hey, did you know that lemon oil can remove
stains from your carpet and it's also a great
oil to clean hardwood floors? What I do is
I put some water in a bottle and about twenty
drops of one hundred percent pure lemon oil,
shake it up, spray it on my floors or on a
carpet stain and it works amazing and it smells
so good. As an option, you can add a little
vinegar in there too and that's how you can
make a really easy, eco friendly carpet and
floor cleaner. Instead of using those fabric
softeners and fresheners that have artificial
perfumes and dyes, I recommend a natural formula
of lavender flowers. This is wonderful, you're
going to love it. Just get some dry lavender
flowers, put it in a muslin bag just like
I'm doing, that's about all you need, tie
it tight and then what you want to do is throw
this in the dryer with your clothing and that's
going to smell delicious and wonderful and
it's good for your skin. It's good for people
who have skin sensitivity and allergies. You
won't have any of those problems when you
use natural eco friendly herbs an flowers.
