Little Condo on the Prairie


Small Changes Add Up
If 10,000 Chicago Biters use a healthy alternative to Drano just once, we’ll avoid contaminating 8,000 gal of wastewater with corrosive sodium hydroxide, which damages the water system it flows through.

Cocktail Tidbit
The first seated toilets with drainage systems date back to 2500 BC.

Love vintage housing, but could do without the frontier-era plumbing? We hear ya. Oak Park isn’t the only Western ’burb with older (albeit beautiful, thanks to Mr. Wright) housing, but it's the place to go when your little condo on the prairie needs some fixing up. Newcomer Green Home Experts stocks a trove of eco household supply merch, from no-VOC paints and flooring to nontoxic baby furniture and healthy cleaning products, so there’s no need to fuel a trip to the city. We’re planning to pick up a bottle of, um, Drainbo, which uses natural bacteria to clear drains more frightening than Michael Landon’s hair, rather than using chems toxic to peeps and the environment.  Finally, home sweet home, just like pa always said.

Wanna Try?
Green Home Experts, 823 S. Oak Park Ave. b/t Van Buren and Harrison Sts., Oak Park (708-937-5403). Drainbo, $15 for 1/2 gal.
