Emily, Jasmine, Adrian, and Mona Ramonetti
Northport, NY
WHY WE MOVED
Mona suffers from asthma, and she found that traditional cleaning products that contain bleach and other unsafe chemicals exacerbated her condition.
HOW WE MOVED
The Ramonettis swapped traditional cleaners for eco-friendly products—mostly homemade cleaning solutions made with natural ingredients like white vinegar and essential oils, plus olive oil for cleaning wood products.
THE RESULT

The family saves a bundle of money by making their own cleaning products, and Mona no longer needs to use her inhaler after cleaning, since the air is now clean and green.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

“It’s easy to make my own cleaners, and cheaper than buying them,” says Mona. “I know they’re safe for me and my family. They’re not hurting the environment by leaching toxic chemicals into the air.”
