Eco-Friendly Spring Cleaning Tips

Some may have harmful chemicals that can hurt the earth and your family more than it does good. So, why not ditch the pricy cleaning products for something a little eco-friendly? Lucky for you, Kingston has a list of ways you can make the eco-friendly swap and be as environmentally kind as you are clean.

Lemon

Hailed as nature’s cleaning powerhouse, lemon is a powerful antiseptic and antibacterial cleaner that is perfect for anyone who wants to clean with a green finger. Along with all of their amazing cleaning properties, lemons are also a wonderful deodorizer due to their high acidic content.
