For eco-conscious moms who fear chemical overloads in their homes, mixing up your own cleaning products using natural alternatives is one easy and inexpensive option, says Kim McKay, co-author of True Green Life. Wipe down counters with a vinegar and water combo (one-cup of each in a spray bottle). Swap in natural germ fighters such as lemon juice or hydrogen peroxide for bleach and chlorine–they’re much healthier and don’t contribute to indoor pollution. Scrub away stains with a bit of baking soda and a damp sponge.
