Caruso's Green Tip of the Day ~ Cleaners

Make your own cleaners.


Household chemicals, including some cleaners, contain volatile organic chemicals, which contribute to indoor air pollution and may cause disease.

A cost-effective way to make your home greener is to make your own household cleaners.

Many homemade cleaners use non-toxic ingredients and clean just as well as commercial cleaners.



*Making your own cleaner costs about 10% of the price a bottle of commercial cleaner, according to Karen Logan, author of "Clean House, Clean Planet." She says a bottle of her all-purpose cleaner costs 23 cents to make, versus a price tag of $2.69 for the off-the-shelf equivalent. If making your own cleaners isn't an option, look for cleaners carrying the Green Seal. Green Seal is a nonprofit organization that certifies products based on their environmental impact, biodegradability and other factors.

And that's your green tip of the day!
