Green Your Cleaning and Save Money Too!
There’s a lot of opinions when it comes to going green and by buying green cleaning products. Many people think that this is simply an unnecessary expense. But the truth is that cleaning products are marketed for us to buy way more than we need.
It only takes a few simple ingredients to clean all of the different areas around the home. And it doesn’t take long to make your own green cleaning products from scratch, which really won’t cost you much at all.
What is so Bad About Commercial Cleaning Products?
There is actually no law forcing manufacturers to label all of the ingredients that go into our cleaning products, which is why it’s very shocking to hear that a number of the ingredients haven’t even been tested for safety on humans!
What makes things a lot worse is that these ingredients are flowing through our body even if we don’t realise it. They fill the air of our homes, and are in all of the clothes we wear.
Not only are the health risks shocking enough, but we also need to realise that the ingredients are flushed int our water streams, which harms the environment in many different ways. We don’t need to do this!
Choose Eco Options Instead
You don’t have to go out and spend loads of money to start going green. Just wait until some of your current cleaning products have been used up, and you can save the spray bottle to store some of your own healthy and green cleaning recipes.
Did you know that a simple mix of vinegar and bicarbonate of soda can clean away mold and lime scale? Or that lemon juice can get rid of stains on your chopping board? It really is that simple!
You might not have the time to create all of your cleaning products from scratch, and if that’s the case then try buying eco-friendly brands like eCover. While this may cost more, you can save money by buying in bulk. There are also natural laundry options that can last around a thousand washes, ultimately working out a lot cheaper than your current detergent!
If you want to go green you don’t have to change everything straight away. Start with your laundry, then move onto another area of your life. Before you know it you’ll never know why you relied on those toxic cleaning products!
Eco friendly cleaning can be easy if you know how to do it. I’ve found many different simple recipes and natural cleaners to help me on my journey towards going green. You are welcome to reprint this article – but get your own unique content version here.
