We can also apply Green Living to the cleaning and laundry products that we make use of. A lot of cleaning products affect the air quality of our home. We can promote a green environment with good air quality and lower VOCs by selecting the right cleaning products. Here are some tips that we can use to help our environment by means of the cleaning and laundry products:
Always make use of fragrance free products. Some allergies are triggered by fragrances such as perfumes.
Choose products with eco-friendly ingredients.
Make use of grain alcohol instead of isopropyl alcohol.
Avoid toxic ingredients like formaldehyde and petroleum.
Use vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda as cleansers instead of using commercial products. Vinegars can clean glass and stone while baking soda can polish and clean plastic and metal.
Use rags instead of paper towels. They can save you money and they are reusable.
