Natural cleaning products are an excellent way to not only protect the environment but your health and your pocketbook. Here are 6 good reasons to use natural cleaning products today!
For your health
Many of the cleaning products used today are dangerous when inhaled or absorbed through the skin causing coughing, wheezing, headaches, skin rashes, infections, or even skin cancer! Many products have high volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. So using no or low VOC’s is the way to go when choosing a cleaning product!
For your family
Small children and animals are particularly susceptible to the dangers of toxic cleaning chemicals. Since they weigh less, it can take much less exposure to experience some of the side effects.
Safety
Many regular cleaning products are not only toxic but flammable as well. Some chemicals can be incredibly dangerous when mixed. Did you know that household cleaning products are one of the top 5 types of calls to the National Poison Control Center?
The environment
The best natural cleaning products are safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable. That is a big vote for the planet and Mother Earth thanks you!
Save time
It is much faster to have a few (safer) products on hand in your home than lots of specialty products that can also be toxic. For example, vinegar can clean mold and mildew, windows, toilet bowls and so much more! You can also clean multiple areas of your home without switching products.
Save money
Switching to natural products can also help you save a little green (get it?) Multiple natural cleaners like vinegar, olive oil, and lemon juice can be used to clean multiple items in your home for much less green (the money kind).
