Why Eco-Friendly Cleaning is Better for Your Family’s Health

The COVID-19 lockdown taught us all that cleanliness and hygiene are non-

negotiable. Today, we are all focused on a clean household, and the demand for

cleaning services has increased significantly. Today, we pride ourselves on clean

homes, warm hospitality, and healthy living.

However, the harsh reality is that many of us still use chemical-infused cleaning

products that pose hidden risks to our family’s health. While most chemical cleaners

seem effective in removing dirt, they are often heavily packed with toxins. These may

kill the germs easily, but they also affect babies, elderly members and pets.

Every time you use strong, chemical-based cleaners on your floor, you’re

unknowingly exposing your skin to harmful residues.

In this article, we’ll explore why eco-cleaning is a safer choice for your family and

why it’s important:

1. Natural disinfectants ACTUALLY clean

We’re all guilty of following social media hacks to get a clean home effortlessly. Our

home cleaning supply kit might often look like a collection of all the trending supplies.

However, most of these cleaning products include traces of volatile organic

compounds, synthetic fragrances, and ammonia-based agents.

These are very common indoor air pollutants, and while they leave our homes

smelling clean, they come with a heavy price. Prolonged exposure to VOCs can

cause respiratory problems and long-term health risks, especially for children, the

elderly, etc.

Bonus Tip:

Opt for eco-friendly cleaners made with non-toxic cleaning with ingredients like

vinegar, baking soda or citrus oils.

2. It’s gentler on our skin

Our skin is sensitive to external factors. A hot and humid climate leads to more skin

sensitivity, sweat-induced rashes, and flare-ups of eczema. Regular cleaners include

bleach, sulfates and synthetic scents, which further irritate the skin.

Eco-friendly cleaning products use skin-safe ingredients. They’re hypoallergenic,

free of harsh additives, and often dermatologically tested.

3. It’s safer for children…and pets!

A house with toddlers or pets needs to be crystal clean at all times. They spend a lot

of time on the floor, even if they are just lying down. However, many floor cleaners or

disinfectants leave chemical residues that we can ingest or absorb through the skin.

On the flip side, eco-friendly products are biodegradable, chemical-free and residue-

free – making your home safer for everyone.

Bonus Tip:

Natural disinfectants like vinegar or citrus oils are just as effective at eliminating

germs, without the risks.

Conclusion

Choosing eco-cleaning is also a vote for a sustainable economy. More Kerala-based
