Inexpensive Ways to Go Green!!!

Most people assume going Green is expensive. Truth is going Green can actually save you money!! Here are some tips to try:

1) Instead of expensive sprays to dust furniture use Olive oil mixed with lemon, use a cloth to put the oil on the furniture use another cloth to polish it and bring it to a shine.

2) Don’t use bleach to disinfect children’s things, soak them in warm water and vinegar, usually only twice as much time as the bleach = cheaper, healthier & better for the environment. When you have finished disinfecting use the same vinegar/water mix for cleaning the cupboard doors, or clean the windows. Store extra vinegar & water in an old spray bottle. Or disinfect the bathroom. Save lots, and lots of money.

3) Use a steamer to clean windows, walls, cupboards, bathrooms, sinks, non-wood floors. Spray and wipe dry.

4) Save leftovers of all kinds, try to group them in similar food groups and make a “Mystery Meatloaf,” or “Variety Vegetable Soup” or “Imaginative Deserts”

5) Worn out clothes can be used to make crafty things, such as an old pair of jeans turned into shorts, or sew the cut-offs to make a storage bag... Unique!!

6) T-shirts can be used as dusters, or as fill for home made cushions, or stuffing for teddy bears.
