Environmentally Friendly Cleaners: Everyone is Happy

Clean Living

Clean living is the right and only way to go. Aside from keeping your house squeaky clean, it’s crucial that the rules of the environment are observed in the process and the number one rule is preservation. What good is a beach house if the sea is no longer there? What good is a mansion if your front lawn is a desert? Take your time and think about it.

Lots of house cleaning products are also environmentally friendly (also called "eco-friendly") are now available thanks to advances in scientific studies. The list of eco-friendly products include the commercial product cleaners you can find at the nearest grocery store or supermarket. So far only a handful of manufacturers are able to come up with eco-friendly cleaning products but as any market analysts will tell you, it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the competition follows suit.

Homemade Household Cleaners

Aside from eco-friendly commercial cleaning products, there are also a number of other cleaning solutions that are just as, if not more, environmentally friendly than those manufactured products. The good thing is they can be found right inside your house. Yes, we’re talking about natural cleaning materials and that includes vinegar, orange rinds, salt, hot water and many other things you find in a regular kitchen.

Let’s discuss by example. Instead of using a chemical solution to clean your dishwasher, you can also use Tang orange juice to do the same thing. Just pour some Tang solution into the dishwasher’s water supply and turn it on. This should leave the compartment squeaky clean and smelling fresh and fruity. The same goes for fruits as deodorizers. You can use lemon rinds or cinnamon sticks dissolved in water to wipe the tables and the kitchen counter tops . The house smells better and the environment is happy.

    Green Works and Method are brands that I see in London Drugs. One of my friends swears by Method brand cleaning products and says that they are amazing.

    Two major brands of Environmentally friendly cleaners I have seen are 'Earth Friendly' and 'Nature Clean'. I don't see these all the time at the major drug stores or larger department stores. Does anyone know if these are exclusive to one chain or another? For example: Pharmasave, London Drugs or Shoppers Drug Mart?
