- 1). Equip yourself with a pair of rubber gloves and a trashcan lined with a heavy-duty trash bag. Fill the bottom of the trash bag with cat litter. The cat litter will absorb any chemicals that leak from bottles.
- 2). Examine the area where you keep your cleaning chemicals. This is typically under the kitchen and bathroom sinks.
- 3). Check the labels of the chemicals. If the chemicals are out of date, toss them in the trashcan. Get rid of all chemicals that you can replace with all-natural methods. These include everyday cleaners and pesticides. Read the labels and toss out items that say "Danger," "Caution" or "Hazardous" on the bottle. Make sure the lids are securely closed on the chemicals before placing them in the trashcan.
- 4). Contact your local Department of Environmental Protection Agency and inquire about how and where to dispose of your chemicals. Each state has its own specific laws on chemical disposal.
- 5). Replace the chemicals with all-natural cleaners and deodorizers. Vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice and tea tree oil are four common all-natural ingredients that can be used to both clean and deodorize a variety of items and surfaces.
