In her book Green Housekeeping, Ellen Sandbeck notes that one simple way to avoid using chemical products when you clean is to use steam vapor instead, which loosens dirt, grease and grime quite easily, so they can then just be wiped off with a clean cloth.
Here are some of her tips for the technique, according to the Housekeeping Channel:
- "To steam clean a wood, vinyl or tile kitchen floor, attach a clean terrycloth towel to the floor brush, then put the floor brush on the end of the steamer's extension tube. Use a mopping motion to steam the floor clean, moving quickly to prevent heat damage.

Get Your Butt in Gear: Smartwool Training Beanie
If you love working out in the cool Fall weather, but you don't want your noggin to freeze off, you need a thin hat that'll insulate your head but also wick moisture away from your skin if you start to get sweaty.
Merino wool is a great natural material to wear while working out because it pulls sweat away from your skin while it's still in vapor form (body steam). That means your head won't get damp, so you won't get cold.
