Eco-friendly spring cleaning
It’s
finally time for spring cleaning. So put on a warm sweater, open
all the windows and enjoy the fresh air… not the smell of
chemical products.
We know that organic cleaning products are much less toxic to our
health and to the environment. And now that the demand is so much
stronger, our biodegradable cleaning products are not more
expensive than regular brands.
At Metro, you will find biodegradable cleaning products for windows and bathrooms, dishes and laundry, as well as all-purpose cleaners.

Tips and
advice
Clean with a cream cleanser made of 1/4 cup of baking soda, 2 tbsp
of borax and 2 tbsp of washing soda to which you add liquid soap
until desired consistency is reached.
Bring to a boil ½ cup of vinegar, a little water, 1 tsp of
baking soda and 1 tsp of salt.
Pour ¼ cup of sodium bicarbonate and then ¼ cup of vinegar into the
sink. Let rest 15 minutes and then pour in boiling water. This
eliminates the presence of dangerous products (for example, liquids
to unblock toilet) in your house.
Dilute 3 tbsp of vinegar in 2 cups of hot water.
Heat some water in a cup. The vapour will dislodge any
residue.
Select whitening agents with a liquid hydrogen peroxide base.
Before you start your spring cleaning, take a good look at the
cleaning products you have. The adverse effects on your health
– cancer and asthma – are very real. Why not avoid
using them if you can replace them with something safer for you and
the environment?
