As our lives become busier and more stressful, it’s easy to lean on the latest products that promise to simplify annoying chores. But have you thought about what’s actually in those cleaning products?
Most household cleaners are made of harsh chemicals, which can be bad for your health.
As health conscious people begin to rethink the chemical properties of the products they’re bringing into their homes, they’re finding new, green alternatives.
If you’re stuck in the loop of using chemicals for convenience, let us introduce to you a new way of doing things, without sacrificing the level of clean or safety those harsh chemicals provide.
Here are 3 ways green cleaning can help your health:
#1. Green Cleaning Gets Rid Of Bacteria And Viruses Without Harming Your Skin
Unkempt homes are the sanctuaries for all types of viruses and bacteria. Bathrooms, living rooms, and the kitchen contain the most bacteria in the house. Our everyday cleaning products pose risks such as chemical burns to the skin and eyes.
By contrast, green cleaners aren’t corrosive and meet strict inhalation toxicity, combustibility, and skin absorption standards. They use natural ingredients with inherent antibacterial properties such as eucalyptus, tea tree, and lemongrass.
Zen Home Cleaning uses eco-friendly and non-toxic cleaning products when cleaning our clients’ homes. These all-natural products are safer for you, your children, and your pets.
We even have eco-friendly cleaning products at our boutique!
#2. Green Cleaning Lessens Allergy Symptoms
You may have allergies if you always exhibit flu-like symptoms, such as watery or dry eyes, runny nose, and sore throat. Even if many allergens originate outdoors, like pollen, some of these are typically found in your home.
Allergens, including pet dander and dust mites, can affect anyone and be a problem in the long run, especially for those with asthma. In a study, it showed that 51.8% of all homes in the United States had at least 6 detectable allergens, and that 45.8% had at least 3 allergens exceeding normal levels.
Green cleaning is not only better for the environment, but it also reduces the triggers that worsen allergy symptoms.
#3. Green cleaning improves the air quality of your home
Some studies show that using a household cleaning spray increases the risk of developing asthma even as little as once a week. The American Lung Association states that many of our standard cleaning products contain dangerous chemicals, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These VOCs are what have been linked to occupational asthma and other respiratory illnesses.
Using green cleaning products can reduce those chances. Not only do they reduce allergy symptoms, but they also lessen the triggers for asthma symptoms.
You can lessen such allergy symptoms with a deep cleaning by eliminating these allergens. Zen Home Cleaning offers a Power cleaning service, which will leave your house disinfected and spotless without the typical cleaning product smell!
