Top 10 Secrets of Eco-Friendly Cleaning
Eco-friendly cleaning is not just about using green products; it’s a holistic approach to maintaining a clean and healthy environment while minimizing harm to the planet. At Cleanen, we are passionate about sustainable practices that deliver exceptional cleaning results. Here are our top 10 secrets to achieving an eco-friendly clean.
1. Use Natural Cleaning Products
Opt for cleaning products made from natural, biodegradable ingredients. Avoid harsh chemicals that can be harmful to your health and the environment. Cleanen’s range of eco-friendly cleaners, such as our Universal Cleaner and Protect Surface Sanitiser, are formulated with natural ingredients that are tough on dirt and gentle on the planet.
2. Make Your Own Cleaning Solutions
Many effective cleaning solutions can be made with simple household ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, and essential oils. For example, a mixture of vinegar and water can clean glass and countertops, while baking soda can be used as a gentle abrasive for scrubbing.
3. Reuse and Recycle Cleaning Tools
Invest in reusable cleaning tools like microfiber cloths, which can be washed and reused many times, reducing waste. Avoid single-use products whenever possible. Cleanen offers reusable mop pads and other tools designed to last, reducing the need for disposable items.
4. Choose Eco-Friendly Packaging
Select products with recyclable or biodegradable packaging. Cleanen’s award-winning pouch design for our Universal Laundry Liquid is the first soft liquid packaging format in Australia suitable for kerbside recycling, demonstrating our commitment to reducing plastic waste.
5. Conserve Water
Be mindful of water usage while cleaning. Use a bucket instead of running water for tasks like mopping floors, and fix any leaks promptly. Efficient use of water not only conserves this precious resource but also reduces your utility bills.
6. Opt for Green Certifications
Look for products with eco-certifications such as GECA (Good Environmental Choice Australia) or those endorsed by organizations like the National Asthma Council Australia’s Sensitive Choice™ program. These certifications ensure that the products meet stringent environmental and health standards.
7. Ventilate Naturally
Improve indoor air quality by ventilating naturally. Open windows and doors to allow fresh air to circulate instead of relying on artificial air fresheners, which often contain harmful chemicals. Natural ventilation helps remove indoor pollutants and freshens the air.
8. Implement Proper Waste Disposal
Dispose of cleaning waste responsibly. Separate recyclables from general waste and compost biodegradable items. Dispose of hazardous materials, such as batteries and electronic waste, at designated collection points to prevent environmental contamination.
9. Reduce Energy Consumption
Reduce your energy footprint by using energy-efficient appliances and lighting. Air-dry clothes instead of using a dryer, and switch to LED bulbs for a more energy-efficient lighting solution. Energy conservation helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lowers your energy bills.
10. Educate and Advocate
Spread the word about the benefits of eco-friendly cleaning practices. Educate family, friends, and colleagues on how they can make environmentally responsible choices in their cleaning routines. By advocating for sustainable practices, you contribute to a larger movement towards a healthier planet.
Conclusion
Adopting eco-friendly cleaning practices is not only beneficial for the environment but also for your health and well-being.
