Help Clean Up The Environment With What You Use To Clean

We have all heard of the impact we have on our planet and global warming but have you considered that what you use to clean could also impact this?

You may already reuse water bottles instead of throwing away plastic ones every time, or have your bank letter sent digitally to save paper. However have you ever thought about what you use to clean? How do you keep your cleaning environmentally friendly? Here is a few things to think about when purchasing cleaning supplies.

You should start with buying high quality consumable products that help to limit the effect on the environment. If they are good quality products they will be long lasting and either reusable or disposable in an environmentally friendly way.

The design of the packaging seems unimportant when thinking about if it's environmentally friendly, but this could make a big difference. It is important to check the product's packaging to see if it is reusable or recyclable after you have finished with it.

The manufacturing of the products can be done with a company that is conscious of their environmental footprint. This will help encourage other companies to follow in the same path.  

Also you need to think about the use of a product. For example if your product is refillable this is something that will help as it will be cheaper to buy refills. This is also great for the environment as less packaging needs to be made.

For your cleaning products you could think about purchasing highly concentrated chemicals in order to reduce waste. By being highly concentrated a little goes a long way rather than using loads to achieve the same effect.

You can look at the items you use alongside the products such as reusable microfiber cloths. This will also help to keep your costs low by reusing them rather than constantly having to repurchase them.

The location of your supplier can help to make a difference to the carbon footprint on the environment. This can be done by using local companies to reduce the effect of carbon emissions.

All these environmentally friendly ways to clean not only help the environment stay clean and safe but can also save you money. It’s a win win situation for your immediate situation and on a larger scale.
