Clean and Green Challenge Poll Results

The results of the "Clean and Green" January challenge poll were as follows:

Will you accept the challenge to try a green cleaning product or make your own?

  • I've gone green! I have tried a green cleaning product! 15.63% (5 votes)
  • I've gone green! I made my own cleaning product! 18.75% (6 votes)
  • I was already green! I only use green or home-made cleaning products! 50% (16 votes)
  • I don't accept your argument! I have shares in Cillit Bang! 3.13% (1 vote)
  • I'm greener than thou! My house is a finely-balanced ecosystem, I don't clean it! 12.5% (4 votes)

It was an interesting challenge and as usual I learned a lot from doing it. For example:

  • Eco laundry balls don't seem to work any better than plain water (for my laundry - the results might be different if you have more stains or dirt than I typically do)
  • Neither does laundry detergent
  • Dryer balls can significantly cut the electricity needed to dry your clothes (but line drying cuts it to zero)
  • They don't seem to make your clothes any softer though
  • Cola doesn't clean your toilet pan, but white vinegar does

There will be a new February challenge coming soon.

although this site isn't a "green" site as such, it does have some "green" people hanging out on it and i think there is a green board as part of it.. but more to the point, it does have a lot of people who are attempting to live what they call "old style", basically living frugally. part of that is cleaning with things like vinegar and so on - quite a few people have done experiments with things like the cola down the toilet (and also say it doesn't work), so it might be worth checking out. there are threads on the uses of vinegar, for example. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.html?f=33

We use vinegar and sodium bicarbonate to clean the bathroom bits and bobs, and it works a treat! haven't tried coke, but then i only ever get it given to me free with my Chinese takeaway - the things london restaurants do to compete!

Righto, I'll try vinegar this week. Dorset has the hardest water of anywhere I've ever lived, and scale on everything is a big problem.
