Maintenance
Once you’ve created a green home, why not keep it that way? Green practices keep your home clean without introducing toxic compounds that can create poison hazards for children and impact indoor air quality for all.
See the Seattle Public Utilities website for green cleaning tips and recipes for low-cost, low-toxic cleaners or download a green cleaning kit.
The Washington Toxics Coalition has information on why we should be concerned about cleaning products and includes resources that outline safer cleaning products.
