Spring cleaning advice from Seventh Generation, WebMD and Healthy Child Healthy Home

Spring cleaning happens. It rides in on the warm breezes, beckoning — not quite as urgently as taxes (which tends to shriek from under a pile of papers) — but insistently just the same.
 This year, Seventh Generation, longtime makers of green cleaners and recycled, tree-saving paper towels, wants to help you remake your spring routine with more environmentally responsible cleaners and tools. In partnership with WebMD and Healthy Child Healthy Home they’ve opened a website called WebMD Health eHome where you can poke around a virtual house to get tips on how to use less toxic brews to shine and sanitize the homefront.

Show some enthusiasm for recycled TP
By Barbara Kessler
Green Right Now
There’s a funny scene in the Larry David show Curb Your Enthusiasm in which Larry, and the displaced New Orleans family encamped in his house, wink and smirk over the toilet paper that his wife has installed in the bathrooms.

Green Right Now
Greenpeace, guardian of oceans and forests, has reissued its Recycled Tissue and Toilet Paper Guide to help people make the switch to recycled paper.
The new pocket guide endorses brands such as Green Forest, Earth Friendly, Natural Value and Seventh Generation, which are made of recycled paper. It recommends that shoppers avoid products such as Kleenex, Cottonelle, Charmin, Angel Soft, Bounty, Brawny and the Target and Wal-Mart house brands because they are not made from recycled wood products.
Using recycled personal paper products can make an impressive impact in curbing global warming, according to Greenpeace, among others — far greater than one might suspect from contemplating the lowly roll of toilet paper.
