Environmentally Sound Cleaning



Hunter says cleaners that you make yourself or buy in a natural food store are not as concentrated, and make take a little more product, time, and effort. But you'll be leaving out a number of synthetic chemicals.


Your senses are a good guide to know whether chemicals are harmful for your health, according to Hunter: If your eyes water, your nose stings, or your skin becomes irritated, that's a sign that the product is probably harmful to your health to some degree.
