Think Twice Before Reaching For These Common Cleaning Products
By RHIANNON FAITH IRELAND
Glass Cleaner
Glass cleaners are an unnecessary cost that can harm your health. You're better off making an eco-friendly glass cleaner that will be cheaper and less toxic.
Oven Cleaner
Most ovens also have a built-in self-clean feature that will clean your oven without any unnecessary and potentially toxic chemicals.
Dusting Spray
Not only are dusting sprays unnecessary for a good clean, but they can also cause waxy build-up that will leave a film over your furniture and a greasy feel.
Drain Cleaner
Proceed with caution when using drain cleaner – pouring multiple types down the drain at once can create a dangerous reaction. Instead, use baking soda and vinegar.
Floor Cleaner
Your floor cleaner is likely just as effective as soap and water. Unless your floor is made of a material that needs a specific cleaner, you may be better without it.
