Not to mention you can basically find them in our days everywhere, as there are hundreads of natural and organic products-based shops across the United States and not only.

Still, how good are green cleaning products in the end? Sure, technologies used aren’t that developed yet to assure the same quality as chemical-based products available on the market, but the good things is that they are continuously developing. The fact is that, in the end, everyone loves a clean home, but few of us actually like the chore of cleaning. Moreover, we often rely on combos of hazardous and chemical substances to make our bathroom and floors shine.

And how can one trust in ordinary cleaning products, when often laundry detergents contain bleach and other corrosives, and dish washing contain phosphates which are harmful for our health as well as for the environment and the water. Taking these facts into consideration, no wonder that most of us already appealed to greener products, which claim that are non toxic and will leave your bathroom surfaces and not only as shiny and clean as their opponents.

So, on the one hand we have many modern cleaners which irritate our skin, eyes and lungs, yet they do their jobs effectively and don’t cost fortunes either. Still, try can also leave toxic residues which pollute water and ground. And, on the other hand, there are several companies that now produce the green alternative of cleaners that avoid toxic or non biodegradable ingredients, to best suit the needs of allergy prone people and not only.

Not to mention you can too make these products at home so you can be sure of their ingredients and concentrations. For example, take the baking soda. Among its culinary uses and the fact it whitens your teeth, you can use it to clean dust and stain surfaces from all bathroom without scratching or damaging them. 100% natural and non toxic, yet don’t expect extraordinary results.

Still, if you are looking for non-damaging solutions, soap, water, baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, borax and a scrubbing sponge can take care of most superficial cleaning needs found in the house. Some other green solutions to well-known cleaning products include the usage of a mixture of half white vinegar and half water for effective glass cleaning which will look shiny and new. For good smelling and clean carpets you can also use baking soda and cornstarch, while to clean up mold, the most effective natural mixture is the one between lemon juice/white vinegar and sold.

All in all, green cleaning products may be somehow effective in the house, yet they aren’t too well performing when it comes to cleaning more durable stains and dust, so, unless you want to clean your house almost daily, you will still need to appeal to chemical products.
