There has been a growing awareness of the products we use to clean our homes and workplaces. The importance of eco-friendly cleaning products (dishwashing tablets/liquid, surface cleaner, washing powder etc.) cannot be overstated in our efforts to preserve the planet for future generations.
Here are several key reasons why these products are crucial:
- Reducing harmful chemicals - conventional cleaning products often contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful to both the environment and human health.
- Protecting indoor air quality - many conventional cleaning products release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air.
- Conserving water resources - the manufacturing and disposal of conventional cleaning products require significant amounts of water, contributing to water scarcity and pollution.
- Mitigating plastic pollution - many conventional cleaning products are packaged in single-use plastic containers that end up in landfills.
Many eco-friendly cleaning products are affordable and available at the supermarket:
- Ecostore
- Koala Eco
- Earth Choice
- Eco Turtles
- Bosisto’s
And online:
- Koh
- Zero Co
- Resparkle
- Bondi Wash
The importance of eco-friendly cleaning products extends far beyond simply keeping our homes clean. Making the switch to eco-friendly cleaning products is a simple yet impactful step towards creating a more sustainable future for generations to come.
