Sharing
We clean our homes regularly to protect ourselves from germs. But not all the cleaning products we use are good for us and the environment they end up in after we pour them out or into the local sewer system, so we've put together a few tips for you to consider when purchasing cleaning products - How to choose your cleaning products? Why is it recommended to use ecological cleaning products ? And where can you buy the best cleaning products for you and the environment?
What are ecological cleaning agents?
Ecological cleaning products are sustainable products based on fats and sugars (renewable resources) and are free of synthetic dyes, fragrances and preservatives. In addition, these cleaning products are products that have not been tested on animals and are marked with a label stating this. Cleaning products can be found in neighborhood supermarkets and large chains, pharmacies, health food stores and online stores.
How to choose ecological cleaning products?
Labels are the best way to identify ecological cleaning products.
Many countries have a national label, and we can sometimes find the vegan seal on cruelty-free cleaning products.
When purchasing from the store or shipping website, we recommend that you make sure to buy everything you need in one purchase, in bulk and in minimal or recyclable packaging.
Why is it recommended to use ecological cleaning products?
Ecological cleaning products have many environmental and health benefits:
- They can replace most chemical cleaning products.
- They are more environmentally friendly and better for our health and that of our household members.
- They are designed for a variety of cleaning purposes: floors, surfaces, dishes, furniture, clothes and more.
- They are not tested on animals.
