Green cleaning is a term used to describe cleaning methods that avoid toxic chemicals, some of which emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which may cause respiratory, dermatological and allergic relations. Not only is this important in the home but also in commercial settings where chemicals can have an adverse effect on worker health, morale and productivity. Many producers of commercially prepared green products also extend environmental principles to their manufacturing, packaging and distribution processes and ensure that their products are biodegradable.
You may like to try some of these simple cleaning products in the home rather than buy a conventional cleaning product. Not only will they save you money but also provide health benefits to your family and lessen the chemical load on the environment. - Vinegar and Bicarbonate of Soda makes an excellent and inexpensive cleaner in the bathroom.
- Standard toothpaste can be used to clean silver jewellery.
- Mirrors can be cleaned with warm soapy water and left smudge free after wiping with newspaper.
- Surfaces can be kept mould free by spraying a diluted solution of water and oil of cloves.
