  • As cleaning products run out, purchase eco-friendly products in their place.
  • Talk with congregational staff and community members about this switch and how it benefits their health and place of worship.
  • Encourage community members to make these changes in their own homes, if they are able, and provide tips/information/resources for them to do so.
  • Host an event at which community members learn about and make their own green cleaning supplies to take home and use (this could be a free, paid, or donation-based event).
  • Look for clean and minimal-waste products to incorporate in your own home (like laundry sheets, dishwasher tablets, etc).

  • Given what you’ve learned from your audit, loop into alternative products for those that are not clean/non-toxic, or earth-friendly.
    • Vinegar is a great basic cleaner! 
  • Research where to purchase sustainable, fairtrade, toxic-free, and/or environmentally friendly products online and in your local community.
    • Many farmer’s markets and similar local cooperatives offer non-toxic cleaning supplies. Prioritize shopping locally where and when you can!
    • An option for ordering online is Grove Collaborative.
  • Read online about what other places of worship are doing to practice green cleaning.
  • Draw upon the knowledge of community members who know about or practice green cleaning.
