At our June Association meeting we discussed using phosphate free and other environmentally friends products for cleaning as we are so close to our beloved lake. Here are some helpful links:

• Baking soda is a good starting point and most of us already have some right in the house! See these tips from Arm & Hammer.
• Vinegar works great for many cleaning issues. http://www.rd.com/home/150-household-uses-for-vinegar/
• Simple Green is also a great product: http://www.simplegreen.com/solutions_cleaning_tips.php
• There are more and more “green” products on the market. Google environmentally friendly cleaning and/or personal care products and you can see a wide range of products that might fit your needs.
