Green your spring cleaning (NC)--While the house is still caught in the winter mood, many Canadians are getting ready for spring cleaning and wondering how they can replace their old cleaning habits with new greener ones. "Simple everyday ingredients have their own strengths, say Gillian Deacon, bestselling author and Cascades Tissue Group spokesperson. "Baking soda cleans and deodorizes all bathroom and kitchen surfaces .The citric acid in lemon juice is a deodorant and is ideal to clean glass. It also makes dirty brass and copper shine. As for vinegar, it is a great disinfecting product that deodorizes, removes stains, and fights grease." Cleaning with 100% recycled fibre paper towels can also save trees and limit the spread of bacteria. Finally, there are dozens of easy ways to become greener at home. "Going green doesn't mean purchasing expensive products or sacrificing comfort, tells Deacon. Conserving the earth's resources usually saves you money. There are so many ways to make smart, informed eco-conscious choices."
