CLEAN HEALTHY HOME The home was updated using eco-friendly building materials and paints, and it is maintained with chemical-free plant-based cleaning supplies. Air fresheners made with just citrus oils are placed at your fingertips in the kitchen and bathroom. The practice of reduce, reuse, recycle, and compost is closely followed, and all paper products purchased are made from post-consumer recycled paper. Water from the Bull Run Reservoir in the Mount Hood National Forest is piped directly to the home. A special tap from an under-sink filter in the kitchen adds extra care that harmful chemicals won't make it into your bloodstream. This also eliminates the need for bottled water and reduces your environmental impact.
