One of the easiest ways to save water at home is to install low-flow fixtures in the bathroom. Not only is it easy to find low-flow showerheads, you can find even greener options that have a pause button on them. This button shuts off the water while you lather up or add conditioner. When you're ready to rinse off, you just hit the button, and it's ready to go at the right temperature. When shopping for showerheads, look for ones marked WaterSense, which are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency. This mark helps you find the greenest and most efficient choices in stores and online.

Did you know one of the easiest ways to disinfect and deodorize shoes is with just a few sheets of newspaper? Newspaper is designed to absorb ink; it also absorbs other things, too, like excess moisture and odors. So stuff the toes of your shoes with newspaper to keep them dry and smelling good. The newspaper also helps shoes keep their shape. You can also place shoes on top of sheets of newspaper; all of the dirt, chemicals and other toxins on the bottom of your shoes will absorb right into the paper.

Think about it: When you're on vacation, you drag your suitcase through dirty parking lots, mud, poop and all kinds of gross things. Then when you get home, you unpack and put it away. It's time to get in the habit of cleaning your suitcase every time you get home. All of that dirt, grime and oil can break down the materials that make up your suitcase. But the worst potential threat is mold. When you place your dirty suitcase under the bed or in a dark closet, it creates a breeding ground for mold. To keep your suitcase clean, simply vacuum it inside and out, and use a damp microfiber towel to wipe the rest down.
