"New and improved"
household products
By Paula Hohner
EXETER -When people think of hazardous wastes, often whit! comes to
mind is harmful chemicals discarded by businesses or industries. Many of
us never stop to think that products we use in our homes contain some of
the same harmful chemicals. A good thing to remember when considering
what products to purchase is that anything unsafe for us, is most likely un-
safe for the environment.
In compiling this article, many telephone calls were -made trying to find
places that will accept hazardous wastes from households in this area. The
only option found was a hazardous waste pick-up by Bluewater Recycling
scheduled for the fall. The best solution to get rid of hazardous waste is
through prevention. There are less toxic alternatives to most of these prod-
ucts. Here is a short list of a few suggestions from "The Canadian Green
Consumer Guide", prepared by the Pollution Probe. The Pollution Probe is
a non-profit organization fighting to make this country a little greener. This
book has an entire chapter relating to hazardous waste and alternatives.
* All purpose cleaner
50 ml. borax,
125 mi. pure soap
1 drop eucalyptus oil
4 litres hot water
Mix thoroughly. Cleans bathrooms, countertops, floors, tiles, and painted
walls. After washing, rinse with clean water.
For regular weekly floor washings, use a mix of mild soap and warm wa-
ter. Remember, a splash of vinegar in the rinse water helps remove the
soapy film.
* Descalcrs - use a solution of one part white vinegar, two parts water.
Pour into your kettle, let it boil; rinse thoroughly. For your iron, pour in the
solution and let it stand for 30 minutes; rinse several times, Remove the fil-
ter from your humidifier, soak it in a pan of pure vinegar, then wash it in
detergent and water.
* Non -caustic drain opener,' 125 ml. baking soda
50 m1, white vinegar
1 kettle boiling water
First pour the baking soda, followed byth8_uincgar, down the drain and
leave for 15 minutes. When the fizzing staptiii*i 'the boiling water.
Special Cleaning jobs - a diluted mix of 25 ml chlorine bleach in 1 litre
water can sanitize,:. kill mould nd remove stains.
* Furniturt h - melt lisp >icarnauba wax into 2 cups mineral oil. The
tackiness of vegetable and animal oils will disappear with rubbing.
* Oven cleaner;
25 mi ml..dishireiitting soap
15 m1 400x.
1 litre warm water
Mix together in a plastic spray bottle. Spray on dirty surfaces and leave`
for 20 minutes You will likely need steel wool or a plastic serol
move some stubborn spots. *** Line bottom of oven with foil to c1 1%
spills.
Thislist shows that there are alternatives to the very toxic and expensiVeT
chemicals regularly used for household cleaning jl of these "new and im-
proved" household prodpcts make life sounc444441Ple and straightforward.
However, we should kc p>in mind that the ada mrd there.a0 sell the, products
- to make it look 'llk that product is the only opu ble. Itis up tO
the consumer to see past the glitz and glamour of igdvertisements and to
make a responsible choice.
