Natural Solutions - Spring Cleaning

	Spring Equinox means one thing...Spring cleaning!
	Maybe "spring cleaning" wasn't the first thing that came to mind when you heard Spring Equinox but it certainly had to be somewhere in the there. We know that when the weather turns nice and winter has faded into the dark abyss of our minds we like to open up the windows and air out the house. We like to get fresh air - let's face it, we like the "wash off the winter." Natural Solutions is here to help with tips and tricks on how to be green and clean.
	Green Cleaning Products That Work
	Green cleaning products, taken as a whole, may not be as pure and simple as the DIY varieties you can mix yourself, but more and more companies are stepping up to the challenge and offering products that are easier on both you and the Earth. Modern homes are a plentiful source of chemical exposure in our lives. Current construction practices trade adequate air movement for energy efficiency, resulting in homes that retain stale air, laden with chemical residues from building materials and irritants created or released in the course of every day life. Reduce your chemical exposure when cleaning your home.
	DIY Green Cleaners
	You don't have to be a mad scientist to make your own household cleaning products. Starre Vartan, author of The Eco Chick Guide to Life (St. Martin's Griffin, 2008), and Kimberly Delaney, author of Clean Home, Green Home (Knack, 2009), share their simple cleaner recipes made from common ingredients. From a "universal cleaner" to mold killer - find several helpful recipes for homemade cleaners here!

A wave of bliss washes over me as I sink into the couch and survey the fruits of my labor-a spotless house but recently, my mom (who else?) tipped me off to some startling information about what's in my go-to, all-purpose cleaner: carcinogens and glycol ethers, among other things. Here's the dirt behind your favorite cleaning products-and alternatives that are better for your health.
