Cleaning Tips for a Healthy and Clean Home

Cleaning in a greener and eco-friendly way is a great choice for both your health and the environment. Here are some tips and eco-friendly alternatives for cleaning:

1. Use Natural Cleaners

Instead of harsh chemicals, consider using natural ingredients like:

• Baking Soda: Acts as a gentle abrasive and deodorizer.
• White Vinegar: A natural disinfectant and can remove stains, grease, and odors.
• Lemon Juice: Works as a natural bleach, deodorizer, and disinfectant.
• Castile Soap: A biodegradable soap that’s versatile for cleaning surfaces, dishes, and even as body wash.
• Essential Oils: For fragrance and additional cleaning properties (e.g., tea tree oil, lavender, lemon).

2. Reusable Cleaning Cloths

Rather than disposable paper towels, use microfiber cloths or old towels and clothes for cleaning. You can wash and reuse them, reducing waste.

3. Eco-Friendly Commercial Cleaners

If you prefer store-bought products, look for eco-friendly, biodegradable, and non-toxic brands.

4. Avoid Single-Use Plastic

Avoid products with excessive plastic packaging. Consider products in glass, metal, or paper packaging, or even concentrate products where you can add water yourself.

5. Use Less Water

Be mindful of water usage. Use a damp cloth instead of soaking it in water and try to clean without running water constantly
