Green cleaning is better for the environment than traditional methods.
Although you may be cleaning your home or office, you may actually be putting more toxic elements into the environment. If you’re interested in incorporating more environmentally friendly products and techniques into the way you clean, more than just the environment will benefit — there will be many benefits for you as well.
Better Health at Home
When cleaning your home using green products and techniques, you’ll no longer have to worry about chemicals being absorbed into your skin. The fumes from these chemicals could also affect your breathing and the overall air quality in your home.
Better Health for the Family
Using green cleaning products is better for the environment. Products that use harmful chemicals release toxic pollution into the air and water. It also leads to ozone depletion and global climate change. Green products minimize waste, are recyclable, and much gentler on the planet.
Better Safety
Harsh chemicals can be harmful to your skin and eyes, especially from prolonged exposure. Some people have suffered from chemical burns as well as other forms of skin and eye irritation. Greener products aren’t as corrosive and meet strict regulations regarding combustibility, inhalation toxicity, and skin absorption to help keep you safe.
Better Pricing
Many people haven’t made the switch to green cleaning products because they think they are more expensive. In fact, many green cleaning products can be made at home, using materials that you already have. Vinegar, olive oil, and lemon juice are all great, natural products that can be used for effective and green cleaning. In this case, there’s no need to go purchase other items when these have multi-purpose uses.
Better Ingredients
Green products use fewer antibacterials, which has been proven by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration not to have any more benefits than using regular soaps. In fact, the American Medical Association has reported that frequent use of antibacterial soap can increase your resistance to antibiotics. Furthermore, green cleaning products use ingredients you can more likely pronounce and define.
