Nontoxic cleaning actually requires very few specialized ingredients. I do all of my cleaning with a squirt bottle of fifty-fifty distilled white vinegar and water, liquid soap, and baking soda. For laundry I use a natural soap powder and chlorine-free oxygen bleach. Other substances I have on hand for occasional cleaning needs are salt, lemon juice, borax, and chlorine-free Bon Ami scouring powder.

SIMPLIFY YOUR CLEANING

While scrubbing away at your spring cleaning, there are two things you can resolve to do in coming year that will make cleaning easier. These will also reduce amount of cleaning products you use, saving resources and money. But most important thing to me is that they save time and reduce amount of cleaning needed.

First, I incorporate preventive maintenance. I put a cookie sheet on rack under a casserole that is likely to spill over, for example, which pre-empts need to scour baked on food from oven. If casserole spills, cookie sheet can be effortlessly soaked clean in a few inches of water in kitchen sink.

I also keep in mind adage "A stitch in time saves nine," which means if you take that first stitch to fix tear before it gets bigger, you’ll save having to make nine stitches later. In cleaning, this translates to wiping up spill when it happens, cleaning surfaces before they are caked with dust and grease, just cleaning as you go while there’s not much to clean. It’s only when we don’t clean that we may need harsh chemicals to tackle what would have been an easy job earlier.

"Clean your room well," say Shakers, "for good spirits will not live where there is dirt."
