There is a plethera of products for your home that can be considered “green” and are eco friendly to the environment and your health at home.
Shopping online is one way to find all matter of big gun products for your kitchen, your floors, the walls as in a beautiful 100% cotton or wool woven tapestry wall hanging, etc. The great thing about the tapestries is everything about them is eco friendly, where a picture is beautiful and we all want a few pictures on our walls, but the framing is not always as perfectly “green” or eco friendly as we might like. That’s why tapestry wall hangings are so great… no frame needed and a wooden tapestry rod can be used to hang them up.
Be creative and keep in mind all the options for a healthy and happy home with gentle on the earth products.

You can actually Go Green by making your own cleaners for your home and find you’ll be less toxic to the environment. A couple things to have on had are soap, vinegar, lemon and baking soda. You can do a lot with just these four (4) ingredients. This can save money, time and the need to be recycling the containers that you might have purchased with store bought cleaners. The big bonus is we improve our air quality by using our own products.
Tips:
- Use baking soda (1/4 cup) poured down your clogged drain, following that with 1/2 cup vinegar. Watch the drain bubble and fizz and when it stops flush with boiling water. That’s it and you’re all set. Simple
- You can use 1/2 h2o (water) and 1/2 vinegar mixed together to clean any glass surface in your home. Works like magic and is less toxic than store bought cleaners.
- Carpet deodorizers - cornstarch & baking soda.
- Mold and mildew can be a big problem and you want to clean that up fast! Use salt mixed with vinegar or lemon juice.
- Want to clean your stove? Hot h2o (water), salt and baking soda. Does a great job.
These simple tips alone can save our environment from chemical waste from store bought products, time and money. Until next time… enjoy!

Some of the simplest pleasures are eco friendly and everything else, too. Bringing a beautiful bouquet of flowers home with you to put in a vase for the kitchen table is a wonderful way to bring a bit of mother nature’s own home with you. It’s good for your home to have plants and flowers inside. It also makes your spirit soar when you take sight of the bouquet on the table… as it brightens the room and makes people feel better… they even smile. It’s a crowd pleaser of one to many and a nice way to brighten up the day.

The Kitchen - yup, all matter of appliances are considered eco-friendly. And cabinets, and the flooring you choose. Counter tops too. All of these items are great when it comes to style and more than keen when it comes to being responsible to our earth.
The Flooring - oh yes indeed. Plenty of ideas of the fab way to handle the floors. Sheepskin rugs are terrific as it’s mother natures own, however when on a budget a more affordable choice might be cork or bamboo floor mats.
