I’ve had several questions about what type of cleaners are considered “green”. My wife and I struggle with this issue as well because I don’t want to put harmful chemicals into our septic system for fear of killing off the bacteria that makes a septic system work. I came across this article, A Look at ‘Green’ Household Cleaners, which gives some great links to green cleaning products for many of our normal cleaning needs. I happen to like using Simple Green for everyday cleaning.
Do you have a green cleaning product you’d like to share with us? If so please leave a comment and tell us about it.

My wife and I are soon to move to a rural property that will have small, on-site water treatment facility instead of a septic tank. I understand that these water treatment plants rely on biological processes to help treat the water and that certain household chemicals are not good for these systems. I would like to know more about what types of of chemicals are good and / or bad for these systems.
