Heidi Wilcox did a wonderful job on Wednesday night teaching us about how "green" cleaning can reduce toxics in our homes. The Toxics Use Reduction Institute tests cleaning products for safety and effectiveness. There is a wealth of information at www.turi.org She showed us the lab results of using distilled white vinegar as a disinfectant. Some of our participants are planning to replace their bleach use with vinegar especially because bleach is corrosive, a respiratory hazard and an eye and skin irritant. We hope to offer another workshop in May to help us all make our spring cleaning a safer and healthier experience. More fun too!
