Before gathering at Mom's old kitchen cleaner, yourself and the environment a favor and look at the ingredients. Many conventional cleaning products A Once your list, and that's bad. I mean, you put a stranger to all of your kitchen or bathroom? It is not difficult to make green cleaning, and I can say how.

Search the list of ingredients you can tell if the product is green. Look for cleaning products with no chlorine or ammonia in them. You may think that chlorine and strong ammonia smell that is good for cleaning, but you know that the smell of air pollution more than they need to really smell. Full lungs with a healthy mix, organochlorine compounds have been shown in studies that include cancer, reproductive disorders, hormonal changes, problems neurological and immune system disorders can cause.

Ya smell bad for a reason that is bad for you! Another disadvantage is clean of old times is found in containers that do not respect the environment. So what is a green cleaning person to do?

Seventh Generation makes cleaning products that are environmentally friendly and recyclable containers. You can find Seventh Generation products stocked in many stores Grocery and Whole Foods. A more environmentally friendly cleaning method of the brand. Method cleaning products contain no chemicals, reduce waste, but the use of natural surfactants absorb dirt. Another brand, which respects the global environment.

Not all brands of ingredients in the package. This is not an attempt to hide something from you, but it is more a matter retention packaging is very minimalist in design. Be sure to find a list all ingredients on their websites.

Some people swear by white vinegar. Ok … It does a good job of cleaning glass and window sashes without stripes but the smell is a bit repulsive. I really do not recommend cleaning your kitchen or bathroom, if you use anything else, and you and your family plan, not in your home for a hours, while the smell dissipates.

Now comes the unorthodox idea. Vodka. So, I said the vodka. The vodka is almost pure alcohol, which kills germs and has no smell. I suggest you not go ahead and buy a bottle of Grey Goose to clean your bathroom, just buy the cheapest stuff out there and use it to clean all non-porous surface in the bathroom and kitchen. It works, is cheap and green, and the container may be green glass for easy cleaning.

You can your kitchen the bathroom clean and healthy with green cleaning without much money.

Composting for Beginners – the Science in Perfecting the Art of Composting

Contrary to popular belief, it takes patience and science in perfecting the art of composting. Read on to find out how finding the perfect balance between carbon and nitrogen will give you many successful batches of compost.

Behind every scientific equation in composting lies an art form that’s different for everyone. Composting isn’t necessarily a hard thing to do; other than the materials, equipment, waste and space, all it truly needs on your end is patience and commitment. We’re not exactly painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, but we’re going to make a healthy, sustainable garden fit for one with just composting alone! Remember, it’s a trial and error method until you find the perfect scientific solution to make your ideal batch of compost.

Let’s begin with an explanation of the carbon/nitrogen ratio, or the C/N ratio. In order for you to have a successful, usable batch of compost you have to have the right balance between the brown stuff and the green stuff. Get your mind out of the gutter! It’s not what you really think it is! The brown stuff, like dried leaves, tree bark, straw and hay have a lot of carbon, and the green stuff like fresh grass clippings, fresh leaves, chicken manure, fruit wastes and food scraps have a lot of nitrogen. This is where the simple scientific equations come in; actually it might be better if you think of it more as a cooking recipe because it really is!

According to Home Composting Made Easy, it’s best if you try to achieve the ideal 30:1 C/N ratio for your compost. This average ratio basically describes the chemical composition of your materials, NOT 30 times the amount of brown stuff to one of the green. With this ratio you’re bound to reach a hot temperature of about 140 degrees Fahrenheit, which is ideal for the microbes in your compost to eat up all the carbon and nitrogen rich goodies.

Another recipe that you can follow is the "2 parts green, 1 part brown" recipe also found in Home Composting Made Easy. This basically means that you can achieve the 30:1 to 50:1 ratio, the latter being ideal for low temperature compost batches, by including two parts of green stuff to one part brown stuff. For example, if you mix grass clippings (17:1), non-diseased and seedy weeds (20:1) with dried leaves (60:1) and divide that up by three, you have a product of 32:1, which is close to the 30:1 average. Of course, you should play around with your recipe to find the perfect fit for your batches. As long as you don’t have too much green or too much brown, you should have a successful batch of ready to use compost!

Remember, composting is a science and an art form. Keep working at it and use these basics to find the perfect C/N ratio.
