Trying to choose a safe water bottle that doesn’t leach harmful chemicals into our drinking water sometimes seems about as impossible as getting a two year old to eat a bowl of eggplant with a side of brussel sprouts for dinner.

Laundry soap can definitely be hazardous to not only your skin but your health. A major concern with laundry soap is that the chemicals that are used in the washing machine are then going down the drain and ending up polluting our oceans, lakes, streams, etc. and are killing off fish and causing all sorts of problems.

To avoid any sort of contamination it is best to rinse out, or preferably wash, your water bottles everyday. The key is to then let them thoroughly dry. Because hand washing isn’t my favorite item on my to-do list I usually buy stainless steel water bottles that have no coating or coloring so that they can go in the dishwasher.

When you’re inspired to do a little spring cleaning take off the “pretty” outer cover at the bottom of your refrigerator and vacuum the wire coils and grill. This will give your fridge a longer and healthier life meaning it won’t cost you as much to run and you won’t have to replace it as soon! Pat yourself on the back, you’re earning green karma!

What is the single most disgusting, germ infested household item that most of us own?
A: Toilet bowl brush
B: Kitchen sponge
C: The floor behind the kids toilet

If you picked B you are correct! Surprised? You can kill the nastiness that is multiplying on that wet sponge you’ve left lying in the bottom of the sink right now! Squeeze it out and zap it in the microwave for 1 minute. Do this at least once a day and you’ll actually be cleaning your kitchen instead of spreading germs around with each swipe!
