Green Cleaning

Going green has become the latest craze in the cleaning industry, at home and at work, but with so many products to choose from, it can be confusing to know which products are truly green and what work the best. At Click Cleaning we are proud of our cleaning supplies and with our new environmentally friendly supplies from EcoForce we want to provide you with the best products that can be found on the market today.

About Green Cleaning

The most prominent objective of green cleaning is to use products and methods that are friendly towards the environment. People tend to think that using kitchen products, such as baking powder and lemon juice is the best way to clean green, as no chemicals are used. However, there are plenty of commercial products out there that allow you to practice green cleaning without breaking into the kitchen cupboards and creating your own cleaning mixtures.

These environmentally friendly products include:

Ecoforce Heavy Duty Cleaner

Ecoforce Multi-Purpose Conc Detergent

UltraDose Toilet/Washroom Cleaner

Green tip of the week

Make sure when buying green products that they do not use ingredients such as phosphates, chlorine, artificial fragrances and colours. It is known that many products you can find on the market promote themselves as green because they are biodegradable, use recycled packaging or donate to environmental organisations, but they could still be using harmful ingredients.


Cleaning Robots

As technology is evolving it seems our enthusiasm for undertaking ‘everyday jobs’ is diminishing. Companies across the world are now developing robots to help us with our everyday lives, and now you can find robots that will wash your windows, clean carpets and vacuum for you and can even sing and dance!

Ecovacs advertises themselves as an ‘Intelligent cleaning appliance expert’ and is now claiming their Deebot is the first robot vacuum cleaner in the world. The Deebot robot also has the fun function of being able to sing and dance too as well as being an “intelligent mobile air purifier”.

Other cleaning robots that share similar functions include:

•    MamRobot - a carpet computer, furniture and frame cleaner, who can also clean in the corners.
•    Windoro (iwindoro) - a window-cleaning robot.

Is this new technology good? Sure it’s a great novelty to have, especially if it can sing and dance on demand, but as a result it may make us lazier than usual. It is a known fact that cleaning can be a good form of exercise; did you know you can burn an estimated 100 calories per hour by doing the simplest of cleaning jobs?

These robots are fantastic to use when you don’t want to do house cleaning, but what could the use of robots do to your health in the long run?

Cleaning Products and Pregnancy

Reportedly there has never been a case of a baby who has been proved to be damaged by exposure to household products. Although it is great to have awareness of the potential hazards, researchers have advised that you can use your usual household cleaning products when pregnant.

The time where you are most vulnerable is at the early stages of your pregnancy and this is the reason why many pregnant women are advised to avoid all medications and toxins. It is a known fact that household cleaning products can contain chemicals, but risks are very small when pregnant. Many doctors do advise not to use bleaches and toilet cleaners when pregnant, but this is a personal choice.

A great range of products to use are environmentally friendly cleaning products if you are concerned about exposure. In the Click Cleaning range you can find everything you would ever need from floor maintainer to toilet cleaner and multi-purpose conc detergent. Eco friendly cleaning products from EcoForce are ideal for any conscious cleaner who wants to do their part for the environment.

There are some great green cleaning tips to help you get the most out of your cleaning products.

Taking care of your hands

Imperial LeatherCleaning is an everyday job, we do it sometimes without even realising it, whether it be removing waste from your desk at work to tidying up after yourselves at home. However, it is important that you take care of your hands, especially after handling chemicals that could be damaging to your health.

This is more aimed to professional cleaners, but it can be applied to household cleaning as well. When working as a professional cleaner you can be amazed at some of the states people get their homes, offices and so and sometimes it means having to use harmful chemicals to get desired results. When handling chemicals whilst cleaning, protective gloves are imperative, but your hands can feel dry afterwards and can crack.

Using something simple like Imperial Leather soap can really help dry hands as it has a rich and creamy lather, which is kind to skin leaving it soft and feeling moisturised.
