From the Green Team:

Non-toxic Spring-cleaning tips:

-Air vents: Use a bristle brush on your vacuum to clean air vents.

-Windows and glass: Use a microfiber cloth and water to easily clean windows and leave a streak-free shine.

-Sticky residue: Use lemon essential oil instead of goo-gone on sticky surfaces.

Faucets: Half a lemon will remove water spots and shine your faucets.

From the Green Team:

Non-toxic spring-cleaning tips:

·  Microwave: Heat a cup each of vinegar and water in the microwave on high for 2 minutes to easily wipe it down and clean it.

·  Range hood vents: Boil nasty range hood vents in water with a cup of baking soda to remove grease and dust.

·  Floors: A microfiber mop will clean your floors with just water, rather than toxic floor cleaner.
