According to the CDC, there was a 62% increase in calls to poison centers in 2020, due to intensive household cleaning activities during the pandemic.

Most of these instances involved something we all have in our homes, i.e. bleach. Bleach contains sodium hypochlorite, which is poisonous when swallowed, and also toxic to animals and plants.

Green Cleaning The Benefits of Eco-Friendly Cleaning in Your Home

Often environmental toxicity and human toxicity go hand in hand, so if you want to keep your family safe, it’s a good idea to investigate green cleaning techniques instead.

Keep reading to discover more reasons why you should embrace green cleaning at home and work.

Green Cleaning Products Don’t Pollute Our Water

Water and cleaning go hand in hand, and we all mix floor cleaners, dish detergent, and laundry soap with water while cleaning. We never give a second thought to what happens afterward.

When you wash traditional cleaning products down your drain, they eventually make their way into our natural water resources. Once they get there, they can poison aquatic life, or cause permanent harm to marine environments.

If you accidentally spray or wipe these harmful chemicals onto your faucets, you could contaminate your drinking water, too.

When you opt for green cleaning products, they don’t contain any toxins that can harm you or the environment. So, you can flush them away with a clear conscience.

Green Cleaning Means Fresher Air

Have you ever noticed that some cleaning products have a really strong chemical smell? Some of them even take your breath away.

That can’t be good, right? It isn’t.

These strong smells stem from phthalates, which are hormone disruptors, and known irritants. Rather, opt for gentle, eco-friendly cleaning formulas that rely on essential oils, or natural scents to keep your home smelling fresh.

Anti-Bacterial Green Cleaner Isn’t Always Good

It’s tempting to smash every kind of germ due to health concerns nowadays, but you must remember that bacteria are rarely the enemy.

There are many kinds of good bacteria essential to human and environmental health. Some have links to allergies and skin irritation, too.

Rather opt for cleaners that use natural antibacterial agents like eucalyptus, lemongrass, and tea tree oil. Remember, tea tree is lethal for dogs, so avoid this one if you have pets.

Does Someone Else Clean Your Home?

If you choose to hire a home cleaning service, make sure they use eco-friendly products, too. You’ll have to live with the consequences if you don’t.

Several green cleaning services stick by these principles, look for websites like Kathleenscleaningservice.com, ecomaids.com, or mollymaid.com.

Ask them what types of cleaners they use, and check the ingredients to make sure they don’t contain any of the toxins mentioned above.

A Cleaner, Greener Future for All

Nowadays, green cleaning is just one more way to ensure we take care of our planet and our future.

There are many eco-friendly options available when it comes to cleaning materials. So, there’s no excuse for sticking to your old ways, anymore.
