Title: Decreasing the use of chemicals
Post by: Balram on February 24, 2008, 01:04:06 PM
If we want to live sustainably, we ought to look after the ecosystem. The chemicals we use for cleaning our homes ultimately go to either the soil or water. Poor organisms, they have to suffer for our mistakes. There are plenty of home made cleaning solutions that don't have harsh chemicals. For eg. put some bicarb on the surface to be cleaned and pour some vinegar over it. Its a general cleaner. There are many more on the inetrnet.

You're right, there are other ways of cleaning that require no chemicals. For instance, polishing marble floors is a great way to improve your home or business without using any materials that would harm the environment.
