Health Benefits of Green Cleaning

One of the greatest benefits of using green cleaning products is the effect they have on your health. If you have asthma or other breathing difficulties, traditional cleaning products, especially some aerosol cleaning sprays, may have an irritating effect. When you use these products you may be left feeling breathless or have a persistent tickle in your throat.

According to the American Thoracic Society's American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine:

"The researchers found that cleaning sprays, especially air fresheners, furniture cleaners and glass-cleaners, had a particularly strong effect [in creating asthma symptoms]."

"Frequent use of household cleaning sprays may be an important risk factor for adult asthma ...The relative risk rates of developing adult asthma in relation to exposure to cleaning products could account for as much as 15 percent, or one in seven of adult asthma cases."

However, there is a solution that can help improve your health; environmentally friendly cleaning products. Many traditional cleaning products contain chemicals that are potentially dangerous if used incorrectly, which is why it’s important for people to promote a healthier living condition by using green products. Green spray cans are now using carbon dioxide as an alternative to aliphatic hydrocarbon, which is used in traditional aerosol sprays. The CO2 provides many advantages; it’s non-flammable, essentially non-toxic and doesn’t fall within the definition of VOC (volatile organic compounds).

Other benefits of turning your cleaning products green

•    Allergies Reduced
•    Less Toxic Risk
•    Reduce the impact you have on the environment
•    Could save money
•    Avoid exposing your family to harmful toxins and dangerous chemicals.

You can find a great range of environmentally friendly products at Click Cleaning, which are sure to help you minimise the effects cleaning has on your health.

Attract Potential Buyers/Tenants With Green Cleaning

Find Eco-Friendly Products at Click CleaningIt has been suggested that simply changing the way you clean your property can make it more attractive to potential buyers or tenants. With today’s home rental and buying market, first impressions count for almost everything and property owners are searching for every possible way to appeal to a buyer.

The concern over the environmental impact we have could be the reason why some owners and landlords are already changing to green cleaning. If the viewer sees you care about health and the environment they may feel right at home and bear your property in mind.

If you put yourself in the shoes of the viewer, what would impress you the most; the smell of chemical bleaches or the fresh scents of a property that has been green cleaned?

Changing the conventional products you use to environmentally friendly ones, doesn’t have to be expensive either. Just go back to the basics, all you need is a multi-purpose surface cleaner and a washroom cleaner and you already have the main components to a green cleaning solution.

There are many advantages to green cleaning including;

•    A reduction in levels of allergens
•    It guarantees that no surfaces have been treated with poisonous chemicals
•    For landlords advertising green cleaning and energy saving measures, allows you to promote your property as eco-friendly
•    Green cleaning could help you to stand out from other properties.

•    UltraDose Air Conditioner
•    Ecoforce Multi-purpose Conc Detergent

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 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.
