With their brightly colored bottles, expensive ad campaigns, and fancy names, it’s easy to get drawn into buying commercial cleaning products that promise outstanding results, fast. But often, many of these products are full of harsh chemicals that can be harmful to the environment, harmful to you and your home, and harmful to everyone and everything in it.
If you don’t like the sound of such products being used in your home – particularly if you share it with vulnerable people such as babies and small children, have pets, or prefer not to cause harm to the environment – you can opt for Maid services in Naples who use eco-friendly cleaning products.
Gentle on everyone and everything, while still being tough on dirt, eco cleaning respects your home and the environment, and below are some of the main advantages of eco cleaning:
Improved quality of indoor air
Traditional cleaning products often contain ingredients that can be harsh on the lungs and other organs, while eco friendly products contain nothing harmful at all.
If you or someone you share your home with suffers from asthma or allergies, then eco cleaning can help reduce their discomfort significantly, as it doesn’t damage the quality of air inside the home in the same way as traditional cleaning products.
Safer when used around children and pets
Accidental ingestion is always a concern in homes with small children and/or pets when cleaning, and where chemical cleaners are concerned, ingesting them can be life threatening. While using eco friendly products may not prevent the risk of accidental ingestion altogether, should a child or animal consume an eco-friendly cleaning product, it shouldn’t harm them. Made up of plant-based ingredients, they don’t contain harmful chemicals like chlorine, phosphates and nitrates, so not only will they not harm your family, but they won’t harm the environment either.
No negative impact on the environment
When traditional chemical-based cleaning products go down the drain, they can have a negative impact on such things as smog, and can even contaminate drinking water.
Without a single harmful ingredient in them at all, green cleaning products can be safely used, and safely washed away.
Enhanced performance
It can be easy to assume that if a cleaning product doesn’t contain tough, harsh, strong chemicals, then it won’t clean your home as effectively. However, the opposite is almost always true. Derived from natural materials, eco-friendly cleaning products are actually highly effective at destroying bacteria and germs, often out-performing chemical-based alternatives.
Antibacterials that are safer
Wanting to keep our homes hygienically clean, many of us opt for products with the label ‘antibacterial’ on them, and assume that these will be more effective at stopping the spread of germs. But, what many people don’t realise, is that such products usually contain a range of chemicals that have all been scientifically linked to allergies, respiratory issues, hormone disruption, and skin irritation. Additionally, many of these antibacterial products have been proven to contribute towards antibiotic resistance, a growing concern for us all today.
In stark contrast to these products, the green cleaning solutions used by Naples house cleaners do have antibacterial properties, but all are natural and smell fantastic, such as eucalyptus, lemongrass and tea tree.
So, not only do eco-friendly cleaning products make the air in your home easier to breathe, but they often perform better, smell better, and are inherently safer than chemical-based alternatives. And if you want a cleaner, safer home, but don’t have the time to achieve it yourself, there are plenty of great cleaning companies you can hire at affordable rates, who offer eco-friendly services.
