Green Cleaning
Let’s talk about it in a very simple way. Green cleaning is defined as the practice of cleaning which is done using the products that are environment friendly or in other words you can say, these are the safe products that won’t damage human health and also do not have any negative impacts on the environment.
So what’s wrong with the products that are NOT GREEN CLEANING PRODUCTS?
Have you ever thought about this? Are you sure that your cleaning products are cleaning the surfaces and not damaging them?
The Myth About Cleaning
When you see the cleaning products that contain strong chemicals, parabens and give strong odors, your brain thinks about clean. Your brain is tricked into thinking about those smells as clean smells. When you enter a place and smell a cleaning product, you assume that the place is clean.
This is not always true. The modern century cleaning products contain toxins that are strong enough to make your nose burn and remove tough grease from the tires. They cannot be both, Safe and strong at the same time.
This is what’s wrong with our cleaning supplies.
They appear to be cleaning but in reality, they could be damaging your surfaces and health.
Have you ever been in contact with a cleaning solution with your bare skin? How does it feel? Does it feel mild and safe on the skin? I bet not.
So how can it be safe to use?
Let’s talk about it with an example.
Think about modern beauty/make-up products, whitening creams, and skin and hair bleaches. Are they good for your skin? The answer is NO!
What happens if we keep using those products over time?
They damage our skin permanently in the long run while making us feel better temporarily.
The same happens with the cleaning supplies. The stong toxic chemicals present in the cleaning supplies make us feel clean temporarily but abundant and long term use of these products damages our health and our surfaces.
These products contain toxins themselves so how can they be removing the toxins from the surfaces?
They don’t!
What is Green Cleaning Services?
Green cleaning services use green cleaning products meaning they use the products that are not harmful to the environment. These products do not contain harmful toxins and they will still the surfaces but they won’t smell the way your ordinary chemical cleaning products smell. You might not think that the place is now clean but believe me, it is!
There is a variety of green cleaning products that are available at present.
