Spring is traditionally the time to fling open the windows of your home, pull out the furniture and dust away the cobwebs that have gathered over the cold months. A clean home shouldn’t have to come at the cost of the environment. Many conventional cleaning products can be harmful to the environment and our health. Switching to non-toxic cleaning products can be a great way to make your spring cleaning more eco-friendly.
Here are our top tips to help make your spring cleaning more environmentally friendly
Toss out the Toxins
One of the simplest ways to make an ecologically-sound difference in your home is to choose products that are not crammed with nasty chemicals. Not only are they damaging the environment, you’re breathing them in every time you use them. Try using the non-toxic cleaning products available from the Living Clean online store - we’re confident you’ll be impressed by them.
Purify Air with Pot Plants
Plug-in air fresheners only mask odours and pollute the air in your home with artificial aroma chemicals. You could swap these for some cheap and attractive air-purifying houseplants such as spider plants, peace lilies or snake plants. These plants can filter out harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, benzene and even carbon monoxide from the air.
Practise Water Wisdom
Water is a precious resource that we often take for granted. But saving water is not only good for the environment, but also for your wallet. Here are some ways you can be more water-wise when cleaning your home:
- Use a bucket instead of a hose when washing your car, your windows, or your patio.
- Fix any leaks or drips in your taps or pipework.
- Install low-flow showerheads and aerators on your taps.
- Only run full loads of laundry in your washing machine.
- Only run full loads of dishes in your dishwasher.
Let Fresh Spring Air Circulate
The simplest and most effective way to air out your home and lower the indoor air pollution levels is to open your windows and doors and let the fresh spring breeze circulate through your rooms.
