What Is Green Cleaning? Why Should You Avoid Toxic Cleaning Products?

Toxicity. Do we really know what that means? Can you really say it ten times faster? Whatever it is, we know it has become a way of life.

It is true that we are exposed to an incredible number of toxins in our daily lives. They are "toxins" and each has some degree of toxicity. Toxicity can be determined in several ways.

If you're interested in a shimmery house, you need to know a little bit about it to protect yourself, your family, and anyone else cleaning your home.

The next question is how you react and what you can do. Well, there's a lot you can do as a dedicated house cleaner.

First, limit your exposure. Please read the label carefully. Use non-toxic cleaning agents. Avoid using pesticides indoors.

Second, limit the exposure of those around you. Luckily, there are many effective and eco-friendly cleaning products you can buy or create for you and your home. White vinegar helps disinfect bathrooms and kitchens. Lemon juice mixed with borax will take out toilet-bowl stains. Bon Ami is a borax-based powder cleanser that has been sold in supermarkets and hardware stores for over 50 years to safely clean sinks, pots, pans, oven interiors, and other corroded surfaces.

Using these alternatives can reduce the toxic load in your home and elsewhere. Using eco-friendly cleaning products also protects the health of you and your community. Overall reduction of water, air, and soil pollution.

So why doesn't everyone do it? The reality is that very few people actually check the labels. Get started now. Please take the time to read the label. Make a name for yourself as a "green cleaner". You can start a trend. You can actually become an in-house product toxicity expert. 

The first thing to know is that not all "green" products are created equal. Check labels for irritating chemicals such as ammonia, chlorine, artificial fragrances and dyes.

Many people who are "green" apply their philosophy to the dirt at hand. "Eco-friendly cleaning and laundry products are the next frontier in environmental protection," says Marci Zaroff, former editor of Macrocosm and CEO of organic clothing company Under the Canopy. "This is an inexpensive, simple, and effective way to protect our planet and our commitment to life."
