Is it possible to clean green? Is it necessary to give up Mr. Clean to be green?
If you’re not sure, that may explain the surge in books, magazine articles and websites explaining how you can clean and “detox” your home without chemicals found in familiar cleaning products such as Mr. Clean.But the bald-headed guy with the big biceps and the white T-shirt is not giving up his market share so easily. He’s, well, cleaning himself up, or at least trying to smell nicer, as more sweeter-fragranced “green” cleaners challenge industry leaders — Big Soap — for space on store shelves.
Meanwhile, the retro cleaning movement is urging more consumers away from cleaners altogether, touting the cleaning (and cost-effective) properties of such familiar household items as vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda.
