    There is a great awakening on the health hazards springing from the use of the many cleansing products from our homes to the commercial settings. Awareness concerns arise from the products we are using in our homes- kitchens, floor, refrigerator, bathrooms and our offices.   As we get so preoccupied with making ends meet, it becomes imperative that we pay closer attention to the reasons we need to use the natural green cleaning products.

    Here are three reasons we should use green cleaning program.

    1.  A Healthier Home:  There is nothing better than cleaning your home, rest assured that your internal organs and skin is safe; the use of natural eco-friendly cleaners will give you the peace of mind about providing a healthier environment for you and your family, pets inclusive.  Green /eco-friendly products are safer and a healthier option to the hazards prone chemicals used so prominently today.

    2.  Better Air Quality: We can achieve cleaner homes without having to pollute the air we breathe by using the more natural products.

    Common chronic respiratory problems and illness resulting from volatile organic compounds released in the environment with everyday use of chemical cleaning products can be brought to the minimum by the use of natural/ eco-friendly products.

    3.  Cost Effective:  Most natural / eco-friendly cleaners can be made from products we already have in your pantries like: olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, baking soda, etc. Making cleaning cost less expensive when compared to the chemical cleaners we have lined up on the shelves at your local supermarket.

    It is also worthy of mention that there is a great reduction of sick days and absenteeism leading to greater productivity in our work places with the use of green cleaning products..

    As more people become more aware of the harmful effects of chemicals cleaners, let us all go green in our homes and commercial cleaning services.

    The benefits of having a green cleaning program.

    If you haven’t yet put into effect a green cleaning program at your establishment, now is the time. Not only does it make the environment safer for employees and your establishment’s visitors, it can lead to a reduction in facility costs.

    More Green cleaning benefits:

    ·         Healthier Environment (No longer breathing cleaners lingering in the air or sitting on furniture, reduces exposure to toxic chemicals)

    ·         Reduce Pollution (Ozone depletion has fewer smog-producing chemicals, recyclable packaging minimizes waste, lowers environmental impact)

    ·         More Affordable (Green cleaning is much more affordable than conventional cleaning products)

    ·         Reduces chemical consumption and the number of cleaning products needed

    ·         Promotes better inventory management of chemicals and equipment, resulting in more efficient and better-planned procurement of goods

    In an effort to improve indoor air quality and avoid any cleaning agents that could negatively affect facility occupants and the environment, it’s important to make a commitment to green cleaning.

    They may be under your kitchen sink, under your bathroom sink, or may be even sitting on the counter tops in your kitchen near your food because for all you know, it's perfectly safe.  But is it?  

    If you take a look at the back of a particular household cleanser it will more than likely read...Hazards to Humans or Domestic Animals. You may even see in all caps:  CAUTION and the number to the Poison Control Center.

    According to Share Guide, a holistic health magazine, chemical levels can be up to 70 times higher inside our homes than out; and over 100 chemicals that are commonly found in the home have been linked to allergies, birth defects, headaches, depression and even cancer!  There has to be a better alternative.  There is.

    Go green.  Exactly what is this? Green cleaning products contain organic ingredients that do not harm the environment or cause a threat to human health and the products are also biodegradable.  Going green means no more chemicals inhaled or absorbed into the skin.  Going green means improved health, environment and can even be less expensive because some products can be made in the comfort of your own home.

    So how do you know if you're buying a green cleaner?  There are no warning signs like CAUTION, or DANGER.  The product will not list a fragrance as an ingredient. The cleaner will not advise you to rinse with water after cleaning a surface that comes in contact with food.  And do not forget to look for an Eco-label.

    For years, the cleaning industry has promoted products that are harmful to us.  Products that contain chemicals which inhibit our quality of life.  Most times we are unaware of the effect these products have on our lives.  To combat these effects, use green cleaning products.

    Everyday cleaning products that contain chemicals such as Alcohol Isopropyl (also known as rubbing alcohol), ammonia, benzene, chlorine, and dioxane.  These chemicals are dangerous and can have lasting effects on the users, their families and their employees.  Alcohol Isopropyl has been shown to cause reduce memory and concentration, reduced coordination.  Ammonia which is a common ingredients in window cleaners has been known to aggravate the eyes, skin and respiratory passages.

    An alternative to using such chemicals is to use natural green products.  Natural green products are products that are environmentally friendly.  Such products include those that are biodegradable and those made from natural ingredients.  Such items include biodegradable trash bags and cleaning products made from natural ingredients.  An example of a green window cleaner is to combine vinegar and water.

    These ingredients usually don’t have any damaging effects on individuals, except if someone has an allergy to a particular ingredient in the product. Individuals can use these products knowing they will not experience the side effects of chemicals in some of the non-green cleaning products.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was established in December 2, 1970 to consolidate into one agency, federal research, monitoring, standard setting and enforcement activities to ensure environmental protection. The EPS’s website has a list of the chemicals and toxins individuals should be aware of.  They also guide individuals to a greener environment by listing ways to greener living.  

    Using natural green products is a choice.  Once individuals understand the damaging effects of using everyday cleaning chemicals, the switch should not be difficult.  Also creating natural green products from everyday ingredients is easy.  Education about the harmful effects of chemicals in everyday cleaning products and the benefits of using natural green products go a long way to making and keeping us healthy.
