I from the City of Wilsonville am so very grateful to have taken the Master Green Cleaning Certification test, I can't wait to use my newfound knowledge to help keep the city not only clean, but green. I loved learning about the different methods of green cleaning, I never knew that you could mix common household ingredients together to clean so many different things. Not to mention, the cost efficiency is undeniable and that it's cheaper to make your own products as opposed to buying chemicals.

I also learned that it's dangerous to mix certain ingredients together, not just bleach and ammonia, but mixing bleach and rubbing alcohol can create chloroform, which is highly toxic. Mixing things white vinegar with water or baking soda on the other hand is perfectly safe. Don't be afraid to experiment with different things but definitely use discretion and do plenty of research before mixing if you aren't certain. 

The last thing I'll say is the one of the greatest benefits is the safety and lack of dangerous chemicals so pets and children along with people with allergies or asthma need not be concerned. Whatever your industry may be, it's always worth it to go for the green option, it will not only save you money but it will protect you and your colleagues. After all, we all live on this planet and we it to her and our fellow man to try our best to do our jobs not only as efficiently as possible, but as eco-friendly as possible.
