Time to water the plants? As your morning shower heats up, let the water fill a watering can with the cold water. Wait for the water come to room temperature, and give your thirsty plants a soaking. (Plants prefer tepid water to bone-chilling H20.) What's that? You don't have a houseplant? Then go pick one up! Plants help purify the air in your home by filtering out toxins. Foolproof, hard-to-kill varieties include the spider plant and succulents.

The next time you see fruit flies or other insects flying around the inside of your home, resist the urge to grab insecticide, and use rubbing alcohol instead. Fill a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and squirt the insects. It will kill them without putting harmful chemicals into the air.

Have you ever thought about how clean the inside of your car is? Many of us never really clean the inside, even though our car is like a second home. Some studies have shown that cars can harbor mold, mildew, bacteria and high levels of unhealthy volatile organic compounds -- mostly due to those artificial car fresheners dangling from the rearview mirror. To detox your car, mix a solution of half rubbing alcohol and half water, and wipe the surfaces down with a microfiber towel. This should sanitize the inside and keep you and your family healthy.
