Home Cleaning with Eco-friendly Products

If the “going green” craze has grown in you, then it is time to start the transition. The easiest way is to make the change from traditional cleaning products to eco-friendly products. But with so many to choose from, it is hard to decide and sometimes it is so overwhelming that we end up going back to where we started. Here are few suggestions of cleaning products that could replace the ones you currently use and you won’t even notice the difference.

One main reason people like traditional cleaning products -those made with harmful chemicals- is that they are made to be multi-purpose and they can do more for less. With the advent of the green products, consumers have been weary in figuring out if the switch is worth it. After all, a cleaning product made with orange oil does not sound as reliable as one made with “Sodium Hypochlorite.”

Somehow we have been made to believe that these complicated ingredient names sound more convincing than an inoffensive fruit. But you will be surprised on how many of these eco-friendly products do the trick and better.

Take Soap Nuts for example, an all-purpose cleaning product made with vegetable glycerin, olive leaf extract and other natural ingredients. The product is sold by NaturOil.com and it guarantees that it can be used as a good substitute of your household cleaning and even your laundry detergent.

The company says that Soap Nuts is biodegradable and does not irritate your skin or eyes, unlike many other harsh chemicals that by just opening the bottles give off toxic gases. This product is recommended to be used for baby clothes as well as a surface cleaner since it is a low sudsing product.

Another product has actually been around for a few years now is part of the SeventhGenerartion line; the Tub & Tile cleaner, made with botanical extracts and essential oils, which can replace your chlorine-based tile cleaning product by offering a less harmful alternative.

It can be used to remove soap scum build-up on your bathtub and tiles. And since it is not made with petroleum, it is a biodegradable product.

Earth Friendly Products has been making green products for quite some time now and their most popular cleaner is actually made with orange oils and other natural extracts. Orange Plus is an-all purpose cleaner for many types of surfaces, such as hardwood floors, vinyl, porcelain, stainless steel kitchen sinks, wood, painted walls, chrome and others.

And since it is concentrated, it lasts longer than many other products with the same use and price. According to the manufacturer, the Orange Plus has a natural smell too (it has an orange scent, of course) and it is ideal for removing grease stains and odors.

The next time you are looking to make the best investment for your home, do it with your cleaning products. Going green can cost some green at first, but you will see that the switch will be worth trying something new.
