Frugal and Green Housekeeping Tips
According to some experts, the air in your home is filthier then the air outside. I guess I can see where they are getting at. Our homes are air tight and don’t let the fresh air to run through and let out some of the possible toxins. The products that we choose to use while cleaning the house may contribute to this. Think about what you use to shake, spray and sprinkle around your dishes, on appliances, laundry and furniture.
Why should we be concerned about being green? Will, being frugal is kind of being green. The things that our Great Grandparents used in the past to clean their homes was safer and then the items we use now. Being frugal green can save our wallet, protects the health of our family and others who breathe the indoor air and long term health of the planet.
