Green House

               Breathing a little deeper and easier!

Recently I returned home from a week long trip and things didn't smell so fresh. I was greeted at the door by stale air and something in the fridge that must have soured. Rather than taking out the traditional chemicals for household cleaning I remembered a few natural remedies that do the job just fine. To stop unpleasant odors from permeating throughout the entire house, boil a cup or two of vinegar in a pot in the stove. The vinegar will absorb the odors.

• Deodorizer: To create our own earth friendly deodorizer, sprinkle non-scented or scented baking soda on the bottom of garbage cans to absorb odors and spills. You can scent the baking soda by placing 3-5 drops of essential oils in 2 cups of baking soda. Mix well and let air dry before storing for future use.
• Air Filters: Use fabric softener sheets in your air vents, to catch air borne pollutants and freshen the air.

Now your house is cleaned green, you saved money by using products already in your home and you can have people over knowing your house has a nice, clean fresh scent that is all natural, environmentally friendly.
