- Bamboo toothbrush instead of plastic
- Soap pieces and shampoo instead of bottles.
- Safety razors instead of disposable razors
- Reusable cleaning pads instead of cotton pads.
- Bowl cleaner: Spray a bath brush with baking powder and rub in. Sometimes disinfect your toilet by cleaning it with borax (supermarkets). Clean the outside of the toilet with distilled vinegar.

- Let go of the towels ; Most are made of plastic. Use cloths and make your own cleaning spray. It is easy to put the fabric in the washing machine with his normal laundry.
- Countertops : Mix 2 parts distilled vinegar and 1 part baking soda with 4 parts water. Apply with a sponge, scrub and clean.
- Soil : Mix 4 cups of distilled vinegar with approximately one gallon of hot water. If desired, add a few drops of pure mint oil or lemon oil for a pleasant aroma. After wiping the soil, the vinegar disappears quickly, leaving only the aroma of the oil.
- Air Freshener: Sprinkle the essential oil into a cotton ball; Put it in a corner of the room. Keep out of the reach of children. Try to relax with lavender. Or cinnamon, cloves and citrus oils. Try the mint in the car to stay alert.
By making all the above changes, you are eliminating all those dangerous chemicals that pollute your home and planet.
It reduces the amount of plastic you throw away as some of these handy sprays are reused for your homemade cleaning fluids and you do not buy them, so you save a lot of money.
Good landing and change!
