While we do talk about how to make use of energy and water more efficiently, cleaning agents need to be looked upon as well. Cleaning agents such as detergents and similar may contain chemicals that are toxic to the environment.
Products using bleach or chlorine are some of the biggest environmental culprits. These products, when used, will have to be flushed out of the system to the environment. When it comes to the corresponding effect, it can be very devastating.
Other products that can damage the environment found in household cleaners are some strong solvents, muriatic acids, and others. Some of them are actually carcinogenic!
Therefore, it is imperative that a greener home uses green cleaning products as well. Try to look for plant based cleaners, or use some traditional cleaners from mother nature, as we have to consider our indoor home as an environment as well. What is bad for the environment, is bad for those inhabiting accordingly.
