We all love a clean home. We take pleasure in vanquishing germs and admiring our spotless surfaces, but it often comes at a hefty cost. Most cleaning products contain toxic chemicals, which are detrimental to our health and the environment.

Fortunately, there’s a wide variety of eco-friendly and non-toxic cleaning products that can alleviate these concerns.

But not all of them are trustworthy. Some brands are guilty of “green washing” which is the use of false advertising to push products that don’t live up to their claim.

So, how can you spot the real from the fake and make the safest choice for you, your family, and the environment?

Here are two things to look out for:

The ingredients list

If you come across a cleaning product without an ingredient list, consider that a red flag. Most sustainable companies value transparency and have no problem informing customers what’s included in their products.

Toxic chemicals

Read the ingredients carefully and avoid the following chemicals:

  • Phthalates - can damage the liver, kidneys, lungs, and reproductive system
  • Ammonia -causes lung issues and breathing problems
  • Triclosan - promotes the growth of superbugs
  • 2-Butoxyethanol- can cause red blood cell damage and hemolytic anemia.
  • Formaldehyde -known human carcinogen
  • Sodium Hydroxide - causes severe burns
  • Chlorine - causes respiratory irritation


Benefits of eco-friendly and non-toxic cleaning products

  1. A healthier home

Toxic chemicals in conventional cleaning products seep into our skin and lungs causing symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, skin rashes, headaches, and more.

On the other hand, eco-friendly cleaning products are safe and will not cause any harm to you, your family, or your pets.

  1. Cleaner air quality

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from many household cleaners cause indoor air pollution. This results in nose and throat discomfort and severe allergic reactions. Eco-friendly cleaning products will not contaminate the air in your home.

  1. Better scents

Tired of the chemical smell from your cleaning products? Earth-friendly cleaning alternatives could be the perfect solution. Most are made with natural fragrances from essential oils, which can also give you a sense of calm and relaxation.

  1. Effectiveness

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to use harsh chemicals to maintain a clean home. In terms of performance, eco-friendly cleaners can compete with their mainstream comparison. 

  1. Good for the environment

Eco-friendly products are made by environmentally conscious companies that uphold sustainable practices in every aspect of their operation, from sourcing production to packaging. When you buy green cleaning products, you’re also protecting the environment.

Wrapping up

Switching to eco-friendly and non-toxic products may seem daunting, but it’s worth the effort. It’ll be one of the best things you can do for you, your family, and the planet.

Happy cleaning!
