Are Natural Cleaners Good for the Environment?
Conventional cleaners have harmful chemicals in them like, sodium lauryl sulfate (toxic to aquatic life) and phthalates (linked to reproductive health issues in animals and humans). When these products are used and disposed of, the chemicals they contain can find their way into water systems, polluting rivers, lakes, and oceans. However, natural cleaning products are biodegradable and have less of an impact on aquatic life. By going natural, you can minimize your eco footprint and contribute to a healthier planet.
What Are the Health Benefits of Natural Cleaners?
Conventional cleaners also have chemicals like ammonia, chlorine and phthalates that are bad for your health. They can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory system. Natural cleaners are made from plant-based materials and are free from toxic substances, making them safer for both humans and pets.
Do Natural Cleaners Cause Less Pollution?
Traditional cleaning products often release volatile organic compounds (or VOC's) into the air, which can lead to indoor air pollution, respiratory issues. headaches and other health problems. Natural cleaners release little to no VOC's so they are the better option if you want to improve the air quality in your home.
Are Natural Cleaners Better For Allergies?
Brand name cleaners usually have chemicals that many are allergic or sensitive to. Natural cleaners are usually hypoallergenic, which means they are less likely to trigger an allergic reaction or irritate sensitive skin, meaning they are the ideal choice for those who are sensitive to certain smells or chemicals.
Are Natural Cleaners Cruelty-Free?
Natural cleaners are keen to not test their products on animals and don't use any animal-based products in their cleaners. Because of this, they are cruelty-free and vegan, compared to conventional cleaners, which may not have the same practices. You can clean your house top-to-bottom without the guilt that the product you're using was tested on a small animal.
Are Natural Cleaners Effective?
Some think that natural cleaners are not as effective as regular cleaners, but this is not true. Modern technology and science has allowed us to create natural cleaners that are just as effective, if not more, than conventional cleaners. Essentially, there's not a stain you can't remove with a natural cleaner!
