1000 Flowers for the Planet - #42 Clean Without Chemicals

1000 Flowers for the Planet - #42 Clean Without Chemicals

Again, those clever marketing people have got everyone buying products we don’t need. I can’t even walk down the cleaning aisle at the supermarket any more – the smell is just too overpowering and gives me a headache. If you do an Internet search for ‘cleaning without chemicals’ you’ll get over 28 million hits. There’s a lot of help out there!
It’s so nice to clean the house with water and an Enjo glove. No nasty smell and a beautiful result. Shannon Lush is an Aussie lady with plenty of ideas for cleaning without chemicals. She’s written several books and even had her own TV show. I’m sure there are plenty of like-minded people doing this in other countries around the world too. They use simple things like vinegar and bicarb soda, which are easy to find, inexpensive and kind to your family.
And the bigger picture – by cleaning without chemicals you will not be putting nasty concoctions into the water systems, poisoning sea life or giving dolphins cancer or skin conditions.
Think the big picture.
