Clean it Green

I’m an organic gardner and the best thing for killing weeds in driveways and side walks is good old fashion vinegar. Becareful not to get it on surrounding plants or grass. It works very fast. Salt works too but has a tendance to discolour some cements.

’Green cleaning’ has been coined to describe a trend away from chemically reactive and toxic cleaning products, which contain various toxic chemicals some of which emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) causing respiratory and dermatological problems among other adverse effects. Green cleaning can also describe the way residential and industrial cleaning products are manufactured, packaged and distributed. If the manufacturing process is environmentally friendly and the products are biodegradable, then the term ’green’ or eco-friendly may apply.
