 The first piece of advice is to take stock of all gadgets, clothing, and other “stuff” around the home, and see what you actually need and what you can donate to a charitable organization.  This is a perfect way to recycle your unwanted belongings and keep your home clutter-free.  Secondly, use clothes, old socks, or raggedy tee-shirts instead of paper towels when cleaning your home as Americans throw away over 80,000 tons of paper towels in a year!  For home cleaning in Phoenix, The Maids also suggests actually making your own cleaning solution to avoid purchasing unknown toxic chemicals and spraying them around your family. Use one-half cup of vinegar, one-forth cup of baking soda, and one-half gallon of water.  In addition to house cleaning, make your home smell fresh using baking soda or simply letting in the fresh outdoor air.  Cutting out aerosol air fresheners is the fourth tip to environmentally friendly home cleaning in Arizona.
