If you’re a pet owner, chances are one of your biggest problems is dealing with pet hair all over your hardwood floors. If you aren’t fortunate enough to have a house cleaning service to take care of it for you, this task can be very time consuming. Ultimately, you might even just push the task to ever other week because cleaning isn’t one of your top priorities.

A great solution to this problem is the Swiffer Sweeper. It’s light weight, inexpensive, and it does an excellent job of picking up pet hair off of hardwood floors, baseboards, and walls. The initial Swiffer Sweeper kit comes with disposable cloths, but if you would like to make this an Earth friendly cleaning method, simply use a microfiber cloth or even an old terry cloth towel instead. This makes for a quick fix to keep pet hair from piling up, and if you add a wet mop with some Pine-Sol once a week, it will keep your floors shining and smelling fresh.

When your box of baking soda isn’t busy absorbing odors in your refrigerator, it can be used to make another great Earth friendly cleaner when dissolved in a spray bottle with water. Baking soda can also be used to combat a foul smelling drain. Simply sprinkle a box of baking soda down the drain and kiss those odors good bye.

Seeking a new Earth friendly cleaner? Look no further than the bottle of vinegar in your kitchen. It can be used in concentrate form or diluted with cold water to create an effective cleaning agent. For stubborn areas, apply generously and let the vinegar sit for five minutes before wiping.
