About Green Cleaning
Green cleaning is the process of using products, practices and equipment that protect both human health and the environment. According to Environmental Protection Agency this involves selecting alternative products, using those products properly, and taking other steps to reduce risks while maintaining a satisfactory level of cleanliness and disinfection.
Green cleaning is safer for your home and better for the environment. It’s also efficient, as it reduces the quantities and types of cleaning products required, and is thoroughly effective. The products used to clean a home can have a significant impact on the indoor air quality of the home. Green cleaning replaces many of the toxic cleaning products with non toxic and safe cleaning products. These products also tend to contain no or lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are harmful gases that can be dangerous for your home and have adverse environmental effects. Green products are also biodegradable, come in recycled containers and are in concentrated form to reduce the size and quantity of required containers.
Equipment has also risen to green standard. Vacuums that use High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters trap small particulate matter that can be left behind by conventional vacuums. These HEPA vacuums are significantly better for the air quality in the home and are considered an essential element of the green cleaning regime. Cleaning cloths and mops made from Microfiber play an essential role as well. Built from extremely small fibers in a densely constructed weave, Microfiber is able to attract dust with its inherent static charge so that it is carried out of the building and not simply shuffled into the air. These cleaning surfaces also require less cleaning solution to clean effectively.
