Green Clean

Jack Reichert
By Jack Reichert

Being green is about being clean. In order to remove dust effectively from furniture use a slightly damp cloth – dusters only move the dust around. For a green polish try beeswax, it’s great for unpolished wood; or use a drop of olive oil, then buff with a dry cloth. This way you can cut down the circulation of nasty chemicals normally used when cleaning around the house.

As far back as he can remember Jack Reichert has been interested in the environment. In the second grade, he rallied all of his classmates to donate one recess a week to cleaning up litter from the schoolyard. That was the same year that a city councilman asked him to help with his campaign because of the letter Jack had written asking him to clean up Boston Harbor. Ever since Jack has followed the development of the international green conscience with anticipation and hope that one day we will treat Mother Earth with the respect she deserves and not turn her into another Giving Tree.

  1. Hey, do you guys have any idea where in Israel you can get a package of baking soda that is larger than a few tablespoons worth? Bicarbonate of soda is FANTASTIC for all sorts of green cleaning, but I can’t find anything but teeny, tiny little boxes of it here, and then inside the teeny box is just an itty, bitty bag with a tweensy bit of baking soda. What is that all about, anyway?
