 As we begin to tightly air seal our Rio Grande Valley homes for the anticipation of winter it is important to remember we must clean and air out our homes before sealing them off. Using household cleaners with a tightly sealed home means that the toxic particles will remain in your home for a longer period of time. So open up the windows and get a good "Green Clean" in before winter hits. Start with the windows; cleaning the windows on a nice sunny day will make it easier to remove all streaks and dirt. Wash your exterior doors and your ceiling fans. Opening up your windows while dusting all surfaces will help carry out any dust particles that may emerge. Launder your curtains and clean those carpets! Empty all of your cupboards, clean the shelves, and even pull out appliances in order to remove grim that may have formed within the past year. Remembering to use green cleaners without any toxic chemical solvents while help ensure that you are not adding any pollutants to the atmosphere or rinsing toxic chemicals down the drain or into water supplies. Help do your part for the environment while also creating a clean, healthy living space.
