May be you wonder what is the difference between a normal cleaning schedule and green cleaning schedule. Well, it is in the way you do your daily cleaning chores. Because with simple things you do every day you can avoid usage of detergents harmful for the environment.
1. Wipe sink, bathtub and tiles every day. You need just a plain water and a microfiber. Do this every evening before going to bed and at the next morning you will have clean and dry sanitary places.
2. Wash the toilet every evening with baking soda. It takes just a few minutes. Pour down baking soda and scrub. Then flush and you’re done with this chore. This is the fastest green way to clean your toilet.
3. Freshen the air. You don’t need this air-fresheners or air purifiers as you can just open the windows a few times a day. Even in the cold days it is better to get some cold air, instead of using unnatural methods. If you want something to clean your air, you can take plants. They will also add green vision to your home.
4. Use all-purpose cleaners. It will be great if you find recipes for homemade ones. Usually the only ingredients you need are vinegar, baking soda, alcohol, lemon and water. Of course they are not in this combination. It depends on the purpose you will use it for. But they work for a wide variety of stains and surfaces – glass, porcelain, soft and hard furniture, floors, carpets, faucets, etc. It’s a rare occurrence when something can not be cleaned with this materials.
5. Clean faucets, taps and shower head with toothpaste. You can use an old toothbrush. All stains will be perfectly removed with less harmful substance. I say “less harmful” because not everybody uses biodegradable eco-friendly toothpastes.
6. Divide your garbage. It is more difficult and it takes time to learn but the whole idea is worth it. You can separate it in glass, paper, plastic and biodegradable waste. Or you can collect it and recycle. Nowadays recycled materials are used for many things, even carpets from plastic bottles. If this doesn’t sound as a good reason, I don’t know what does.
7. Don’t leave wet clothes in the washing machine or in the room. Wet places are a very good territory for germs. If you leave your laundry in the washing machine for more than 30 minutes you will need to run it again which is a total waste of water and electricity and you will need to use laundry detergents again which is an environment pollutant.
8. Employ green cleaning company. At least once a month you can afford professional cleaning like steam clean Hammersmith for your home. Do it for you and your children. Expert cleaners know what to look for and which are the places which deserve more attention. But first make sure that the company is green, ask for recommendations, do some research and choose the best option.
9. De-clutter every day. Where there is clutter, there is a lot of dust and dirt. They pollute the environment and are a good premise for bacteria spreading. Choose place for everything and make your households to leave it there every time they use it.
10. Vacuum every day. It may sound like a difficult task but it is a main requirement for a healthy environment. And if you have carpets it is more than necessary. Your carpet needs special care and even steam cleaning is mandatory. You should be very careful with dust as it is a strong allergen.
Follow these 10 simple green cleaning steps and you will live in healthy and environment-friendly home.
