Why Eco-Cleaning?
Why Eco-Cleaning?
Let's start at the beginning. What is eco-cleaning, and why should you care?
While there are many different definitions, at its core eco-cleaning (or green cleaning) means choosing cleaning methods and products that don't harm your family or our environment. This can be achieved in a number of ways, including:
Choosing cleaning products that are free from plastic, and compostable in your garden
Making your own natural cleaning solutions at home
Finding brands who formulate cleaning products made from all natural ingredients
Once you start digging a little deeper - it's hard to turn away from the scary statistics surrounding the chemical based cleaning products we're so used to seeing in our homes.
To help you decide if eco-cleaning is for you, we've compiled some research about the benefits of green cleaning methods and why you should consider making a small change in your everyday cleaning habits today.

It's not as clean cut as a freshly spruced kitchen counter. Whether or not a natural cleaning agent does the job well depends on a number of important factors. For example, how it's developed and the production and manufacturing processes.
