At MaidPro Kansas City we are committed to staying green and we’d like to encourage those we serve to do the same. Here are a few easy ways you can stay green around the house.
2. Meatless Monday
One meatless day a week has the same impact as
driving a hybrid car! Raising livestock produces large
amounts of green house gas.
3. Microwave Glass, Never Plastic
If you use plastic make sure it is microwave safe.
However, microwaving many plastics can cause
leaching into foods. It’s safest to use glass.
5. Buy Local Produce
Buy locally raised, humane and organic products.
Purchasing from local farmers keeps money in the
local economy.
6. Don’t Drink Plastic Bottled Water
There are great re-usable water bottle products with
water filters.
And there are filters you hook up right to your water
faucet.
Regular plastic water bottles create large amounts
of container waste.
7. Recycle Properly
Recycling materials saves energy. Materials like
aluminum or glass can be re-used without being
down cycled into products of lesser material.
8. Bring Your Own Bags
Re-usable grocery bags are more eco-friendly than
disposable plastic bags. To keep your bags germ free
make sure they are machine washable.
9. Turn Off Electronics
Before bed or when you leave the house make sure
all electronics are off. Try using a UL certified power
strip.
10. Leave Shoes By The Door
This prevents germs, chemicals, exhaust and pesticides
from being tracked all over your home.
11. Let MaidPro keep the house clean.
We use green techniques and cleaning products.
