Green Tip #3 - It’s not necessary to be always clean and spotless

We feel that it’s not necessary to be clean and spotless at all times. It’s ok to be slightly dirty, and help save water and energy or reduce the use of chemicals. You may not agree with us but we think cleanliness can be overlooked at times. It’s ok to:
- Wear the same clothes for a few days and not wash them if there’s no stain or smell; just hang them out under the sun and wear them the next day
- Sweep your floor using a broom instead of using the vacuum cleaner; there’s no need to suck up every little bit of dust
- Mop your floor once a week and not daily; just remember to wash your feet immediately when you reached home
- Clean the kitchen and toilet once a week or fortnightly and use less chemicals; there’s no need to see the kitchen and toilet spotless and sparkling like in commercials
- Collect rainwater and use it for flushing the toilet, watering the plants, and washing the car; there’s no need to use clean potable water
- Wash your car using only water; there’s no need to use chemicals and polish it to look brand new
- Take a quick shower
