The last time you cleaned your kitchen floors, what were you thinking about?  Chances are, it didn’t have anything to do with saving the environment.  You were probably focused on simply getting that dirty job done and over with, like anyone else.

But today, just about every household product you can imagine comes in “green” — environmentally-friendly, that is.  It’s great to switch from that old aerosol can to a bio-degradable spray bottle…but it’s important to find out first what products are really eco-friendly, and what products are faking it.

Check out sites like GreenSeal.org for a heads up on what to look for in different products if you decide you want to clean the green way.
