Watch What You Throw Into the Landfill
Mom was right. Wash out your rags and reuse them. It saves money, landfill area, and is green!
- Disposable pads on the bottom of your mop just add to the landfill. A good micro fiber mop such as Leifheit
brand can be used with or without chemicals. The mop head can be reused up to 300 times before it needs to
be replaced with a new head.
- Instead of using throwaway towels to clean your home, try micro fiber again. Not all micro fibers are equal.
Some are for dusting, some are for mirrors and glass, and some are for furniture. To prevent crosscontamination,
cleaning cloths should be changed for each chore, and for each room.
- Buy a decent vacuum – one that can be serviced. Buy break and throw into the landfill is even worse than #1
and #2 above.
Now, wasn’t that easy? And just think of all the room you just saved in the landfill!
- That new television screen, and those new glass-topped tables? They should never be vacuumed. Evan a
natural hair dust brush could scratch, and then it’s ruined. I went to the expert, David Bond at Bond’s
Television and Electronics, and he explained a few things to me. Most televisions now have LCD screens or
similar, and anything with ammonia will cause grief. He agrees they should never be vacuumed. A good LCD
screen cleaning kit is the best, but if you don’t have one then a fine micro fiber cloth only could be used. Of
course, if you are still not sure what to do, just contact him at www.bondstv.com.
- Our best trick – Use a vacuum with a bag installed. It’s cleaner, healthier, has a longer life span, holds more
dirt, and easy. After all, you line your kitchen trash can to keep the germs and mess away, and that’s not as
nasty as what’s coming off your floors!
