Green Clean for The Planet



Green planet imageIt might surprise you to realize that in the US there are tens of thousands of chemicals used in everyday cleaning products which have not been tested for safety. Further more, many of these products simply haven't been tested long enough to know of any long-term health impacts.
Before the industrial revolution and the advent of chemical cleaning concoctions, people used simple pantry ingredients to clean their homes and we have less pollution.  Now everywhere you look you can see pollution which is really sad when you take into consideration the negative effect that it can have on our ecosystem. As homeowners we must likewise do our part to protect our environment.
In recent studies have emerged indicating that many of the chemicals we use to clean our homes can be quite toxic, particularly when used in confined spaces or for prolonged periods of time.
With ever-increasing amounts of environmental pollution, as well as a growing body of evidence to suggest that common household cleaning chemicals may actually be harming our health, now is the time to be re-assessing whether we need these toxic mixes to clean our homes.
In terms of the impact on the environment, the problem has several parts. The first and most obvious one is the issue of packaging. Plastic bottle and containers have long been highlighted as a major environmental concern. Then there are the actual chemicals themselves, which are often not biodegradable, and may break down very slowly or not at all. The result of this is that when you wash those chemicals down the drain they end up in waterways. This can affect the health and livelihood of aquatic animals and plants. It also increases the chances that those chemicals will find their way into our food supply.
Unluckily for the consumer, companies do not tend to label the more toxic ingredients in their cleaning products. Check the label on a bottle of Ajax or laundry powder and see how many ingredients it actually has listed. Often you'll find that only the 'active ingredient' can be found, leaving the rest for you to wonder. The truth is, you would probably be horrified if you were actually able to go and look up the individual chemicals and compounds used in your cleaning products.
These days there are enough eco-friendly cleaning products on the market that it is really simple to make the switch, for the health of you, your family and the environment. What's more, these products are often a lot cheaper than the harsh chemical cleaners. Better still, why not make your own cleaners out of common household ingredients? Lemon, bicarbonate soda and vinegar are the three most versatile natural cleaners that will clean your house as effectively as the chemicals, but at a tiny fraction of the cost. There is a wealth of online knowledge on how best to utilize these healthy, environmentally sound ingredients, so why wait? Try it out today, and make a positive change that will benefit not only the whole family, but the whole world.
