Cleaning house? I am advocating a cheap product that is not necessarily new, but an environmentally friendly Method, available about a mile from home.

Two guys who had previously never cleaned so much as their bedrooms, launched Method about 3 years ago that sanitize your body, home and air while maintaining an edgy product design. These products will not only satisfy your eco-conscience, but if they happen to fill your belly as well, do not panic; they are non-toxic.

What does this all have to do with your college dorm room? For one, you will not look like a freak housing all sorts of cleaning products. These are contained in funky, visually appealing bottles that can be recycled as clever storage. Even better yet, you can scrounge for that change between the couch cushions and under the bed because that is all you will need to purchase these supplies.

Method Brand is yes, easy on your pocket but also easy on your nose. The product line has a rich variety of scents to sate any sniffer. Scents include: almond, beach sage, citron leaf, cucumber, cut grass, free clear, fresh air, fresh lychee, grapefruit pear, green tea, lavender, lemon, mint, morning blossom, naked, nectarine blossom, olive leaf, pink grapefruit, sea minerals, sweet water, vanilla apple, water flower, water lilly aloe, white tea and ylang-ylang.

The website offers a a blog that provides tips and tricks to a cheaper, healthier living environment. For example, co-founder Adam Lowry, says “Having just a few plants around the house can greatly improve indoor air quality. Believe it or not, rhododendron, lily and ivies absorb indoor air pollutants and replace it with pure, healthy oxygen.” No need to purchase that $500 air purifier.
