Safer alternatives to some home cleaner products Have you ever taken the time to carefully read the ingredient lists on all your favourite household clean- ing products and pesticides? If so, are you familiar with the proper- ties of the chemicals they contain? Do you know . what paradichlorobenzene or diethylene are? Most of today's conve- nience cleaners are popular because they work quickly requiring little if any, elbow grease. But often, the ingredients of these polishes, disinfec- tants, drain cleaners and cleansers can be quite tox- ic, and can get into the en- vironment through their manufacture, use or disposal. The next time you're shopping for cleaners or pesticides, check the label first. Products containing toxic ingredients are tagg- ed with small symbols, rating the type of hazard they pose. A skeletal hand, for instance, indicates a product is corrosive and can seriously damage tissue, while a skull and crossbones indicates it is toxic or poisonous. Many "green" con- sumers are making a con- scious effort to switch to safer, less toxic alter- natives. These alternatives are cheaper, safer and get the job done just as well. Some may require a little more muscle and take longer to work, but the payoff -- a healthier, cleaner environment both in and outside of your home -- is well worth it. Here are a few tips on how to become a more '"'en- vironmentally friendly" consumer. Cleaners and Cleansers Concoct your own all- purpose cleaners. Just mix a half-cup of ammonia with half a cup of white vinegar, then add a quarter-cup of baking soda and half a gallon of water. (Never mix ammonia or vinegar with chlorine bleach, because both mix- tures produce harmful tox- ic fumes). If you want an alter- native disinfectant, try mixing a half-cup of borax with a gallon of water. To clean surfaces, you may want to try a mixture of vinegar, salt and water. A paste made up of baking soda .and water is par- ticularly effective on hard- to-clean areas. Simply scrub the paste in the sur- face being cleaned. Let it sit for half an hour and then sponge it off.
