Green Cleaning

We should all be doing a little more to ensure Green Cleaning is the way we tackle all our household chores.  By searching around the site you will find plenty of green cleaning tips that should make your cleaning Eco friendly.  With links to great environmentally friendly products, from vapor steam cleaners to microfiber slippers, there should be something to inspire us all to take one more step towards a more sustainable, less environmentally damaging approach to creating a healthy home.

You don’t even need to be that concerned about the future of the planet (though why on earth wouldn’t you be?) either.  Much that is ‘green’ is also frugal and healthy.  Avoiding exposure to harmful chemicals is just as important for you, your kids and pets, as it is for the micro-organisms residing in our water-ways.

Personally I don’t really think it matters what your motivations are, so long as you do something to rely less heavily on bleaches and harmful disinfectants that do nobody any good at all.  Yes your toilet bowl might shine so bright you feel satisfied you are doing your job of keeping house and home spic and span.  But at what cost?

Re-evaluating your routines, and changing just one thing a month, to something a little more environmentally friendly will do you the world of good, as the one responsible for keeping the home clean too.  You don’t really want to be breathing in all those toxic fumes do you?

By looking for traditional ways to tackle the chores you can avoid both dangerous products, and also expensive ones too.  There are so many cheap cleaning options; from baking soda to scrub the bath tub, to white vinegar to disinfect your counter tops.  You don’t have to pay much for the greenest cleaners, and you don’t have to have a closet full of bottles you would rather your children didn’t get hold of.

And don’t think your new flower scented, organic product with its pretty green bottle is necessarily the best option either.  Think more basic than that.  You need to aim for:

  • Non toxic cleaners
  • No chlorine bleach
  • Concentrated cleaners
  • Recyclable packaging
  • Readily bio-degradable ingredients
  • Safe to use – and that means often choosing items designed to be used in the work-place, since they must pass far more stringent health and safety requirements as far as user exposure is concerned

More basic things to consider are:

  • Using less water to rinse those products away
  • Avoiding irritants (even natural ones) such as citrus oils
  • What cloths / sponges etc are you using – can they be recycled or re-used?
  • How sterile does your home really need to be?  There is far too much emphasis on doing away with every bacteria or germ in the home.  In some cases this is a must, but most of us live far more healthy allergy free lives if we come into some contact with these naturally occurring organisms.

Enjoy your clean home but not to the expense of your health (or indeed the planets), and make at least one change today towards more Environmentally aware green cleaning.

Going Even Greener With Vigoro and Organic Compost

Organic farming is getting more and more popular now-a-days. Before, a lot of gardeners and farmers prefered industrial farming since it is cheaper and results in greater production, but the processes of industrial farming have been found to result in many risks and problems to the environment and to the consumers. Environmentally, chemical based fertilizers are dangerous since they might be able to contaminate the soil and also pollute the waters. Chemical run off has been a frequent problem due to misuse and over application of chemical fertilizers and sprays. While these chemicals certainly boost the production rate of plants and vegetables, they are also accelerating the rate of infertility of the soil. The more chemicals used to increase the production then the faster the nutrients in the soil gets used up. So after a few years, you can no longer use the same plot of land because it would be rendered infertile.

Another reason for the change from industrial farming to organic farming is that a lot of people are getting more aware and conscious about the food they eat. For health reasons, many people are opting to buy organic food only since they have been found to be better for the body because of their natural nutrients. While they are definitely more expensive, a lot of people are willing to pay more money just to ensure that they get 100% natural food produce.

For these reasons many farmers and gardeners are making changes to their gardening methods. A lot of them are shying away from using chemical based fertilizers and are opting to use organic fertilizers like Vigoro instead. Some don’t even use any commercial fertilizer, may they be chemical or organic based. They opt to make their own organic compost to be able to provide sufficient nutrients for their plants.
