Ever gasp for breath after using a cleaning agent, or worry about your toddler exploring under the sink? The average home contains 150 different cleaning products. Most are classified as hazardous waste, and they are expensive too!
Consumers looking to save money on their home budgets are in luck today. Several groups of cleaning products offer not only savings but a healthier environment for you and your family. Greener products perform as well or better than more toxic brands and can cost less per load than familiar name brands.
Getting Started
The easiest way to start is to buy one of the greener detergent products that states that it is environmentally friendly.
Help Keep the Environment Clean
Before it is all said and done, all of your water ends up back where it starts - and often that is nearby lakes and rivers.
Chlorine is harmful to the immune and reproductive systems. If every household removed just one 64 oz. bottle of bleach from their laundry rooms, millions of pounds of chlorine could be held from entering the environment.
Laundry detergents that are low in phosphates help keep our lakes and rivers clean!
Many toxins bioaccumulate in the fatty tissues of animals through the food chain. Keeping as many chemicals out of the environment promotes a healthier life for us all.
