Eco-clean

I am not the most house proud of people - if my house is not gleaming - it doesn't really bother me, I still welcome people while moving the newspapers off the couch for them to sit down... So, reading an article about not using chemicals in your house made me go and look at what I DO use [when I get round to do the cleaning...]. A mixed bag was the result. I do already use eco washing up, laundry and kitchen surface cleaners - but there was still floor wax, bleach, window cleaner, floor cleaner and I am ashamed to say oven cleaner. I also use throw away cloths in the main - although I do wash my yellow dusters every now and again - which is obviously not the done thing! Luckily, I don't have to worry about the carpets, as I don't have any - but the sheer thought of brushing carpets clean made me feel quite panicky, as with two hairy muck magnets aka Ferret and Silk, it would be an impossible task. So, I have thrown away all the 'bad' chemicals and will try to be more environmentally friendly when buying products in future - but I can't see the house being a total product free place, as I don't enjoy cleaning enough to be mixing my own pastes or spending even more time on it!
