Boost your physical and mental well-being in five easy steps:
[ CHOOSE ALTERNATIVES TO PESTICIDES ] There are someone who lived on 4,000 acres and spray absolutely nothing. Prevent mice and bug infestations by closing up every crevice with steel mesh or copper-wire mesh. Repel ants and mice with grade-A peppermint oil or coffee grinds.
[ GREEN YOUR CLEANERS ] Look for the safest cleaning products; avoid those with chlorine bleach and ammonia. White vinegar can replace chlorine bleach. We are developing our own line, which will be out in a few months, but right now, I think Bio-Kleen products are the healthiest.
[ FREE UP FLOOR SPACE ] Opt for area or throw rugs rather than wall-to-wall carpeting, which traps mold and mildew.
[ USE WATER-BASED PAINTS ] Look for those that have the lowest volatile organic compounds.
[ KEEP STRESS OUT OF THE HOUSE ] That’s paramount, above everything else. When you’re paralyzed. You can make yourself sick. Then it’s impossible to make any changes.
