Wait! Before you reach for that plastic jug 'o bleach, take a moment to acquaint yourself. Did you know that bleach is the world's number one pesticide? In addition to keeping your unmentionables shiny bright, and your counters sparkling, a glug of bleach also spells genocide for any microorganism it encounters. It's harmful to inhale, and even worse to ingest. A splash in the eye can even lead to blindness. Not so innocuous, that bleach.

Take your first step towards eco green cleaning, and nix the bleach! A simple paste of baking soda and vinegar, combined with a smidge of elbow grease, will do the job just as well. In the laundry, try lemon juice or hydrogen peroxide to gets your whites whiter. Your body, family, and environment will thank you!
