Apartment Earth: Three Sparkling Kitchen Cleaners


Having trouble choosing between environmentally-conscious kitchen cleaners? Here are three that will make your kitchen sparkle from top to bottom. You might even discover you enjoy cleaning after all.

FLOORS


Try Earth Friendly Products Floor Kleener. It's appropriate for wood or laminate floors. Floor Kleener comes as a spray so you don't have to fool with a mop and bucket. In addition, it doesn't require a wasteful water rinse.


DISHWASHER

Non-toxic Ecover Automatic Dishwashing Powder pulls double duty. Use it first to wash your dishes because it works well, is biodegradable, and gentle on aquatic life. You can also use it to scrub clean everything else from stovetops to toliets, too!


ALL-PURPOSE

Seventh Generation's All Purpose Cleaner is exactly that: all purpose. Use it on kitchen counters, stove, microwave, and practically anything other surface. This cleaner is non-toxic, biodegradable, and even kosher!

Finally, remember that you can make an inexpensive, powerful cleaner with a mixture of distilled white vinegar and non-toxic soap.
