5 Reasons to “Green” Your Cleaning Routine

Due to our busy schedules, the job of cleaning our homes is sometimes left to cleaning services Chicago—some of whom we can never be sure to have already shifted to using non-toxic cleaning products.

To ensure that toxic chemicals that harm our health and the environment are kept out of our homes, we have to either do the cleaning ourselves using green cleaning Chicago products or make sure that the cleaning services Chicago we hire use safe products that are free of phosphates, bleach, chlorine, ammonia, and other toxic chemicals.

Of course, there will always be doubts as to the wisdom of joining the green cleaning Chicago bandwagon. Thus, given below are 5 reasons why we all should “green” our cleaning routines:

Prevents Exposure to Toxic Chemicals

When we are indoors, the air we breathe is limited only to what is available inside. Polluting this confined air with harmful chemicals from toxic cleaning products and we end up breathing these chemicals ourselves. Replacing these products with natural cleaning agents that do the same job is a lot safer.

Prevents Asthma and Allergies

Having germs, bacteria, mold and mildew inside the home can be annoying; that’s why we do our best to remove them. But is using noxious-smelling cleaning products that irritate our nasal passages, cause allergies, and trigger asthma attacks the solution? Many cleaning services Chicago these days are aware of this; that is why they—and you—should prefer using non-toxic cleaning products.

Prevents Accidents

Green cleaning Chicago efforts also pay off by preventing emergencies in the home like the accidental inhalation or ingestion of toxic chemicals. There will also be no more need to be anxious where you store green cleaning products.

Prevents Pollution

We use water most of the time to wash off dirt and the germs, mold and mildew removed by cleaning products along with it. The toxic chemicals in these products find their way to the ground where they are absorbed by plants or to the sea where fish come into contact with them. By using plant-based cleaning products, for example, we prevent polluting the Earth.

Prevents Overspending

Cleaning products are expensive. Cut back on the spending, and shift to natural cleaning products. They are “greener” and safer to use, and not to mention, less expensive. These “green” cleaning agents are actually already in your home, like vinegar, lime, and baking soda for example.
