When cleaning their home, people often don't pay attention to the products they use. A common case is that many just buy cleaning solvents without reading their labels and learn what the products contain. This, of course is considered as a huge mistake nowadays. Most of the cleaning products offered on the stores contain harsh chemicals that may cause more headaches than solving a specific cleaning problem. The market is full of them and people buy them without knowing what exactly they are getting. The worst part is that they don't know what they're causing to the environment and their own health.

When choosing among cleaning detergents, you should always consider which one is safe. And by safe, I mean non-toxic (causing minimum impact on the environment) and safe for your health. Did you know that there are so many non-toxic cleaning products offered on the market along with all the cleaning chemicals? Now you know. Most of these solvents don't contain any chemical that may cause poisonous fumes and damage your health or contaminate the air inside your house. People should start paying more attention to the ingredients of the cleaning products they buy and choose those that contain a minimum amount of chemicals and toxins, or don't contain such ingredients at all.

Do you know why on the labels of most of the cleaning products there is a caution to wear rubber gloves? It's because those contain so strong chemicals which can burn your skin off, or cause rashes, or allergic reactions. If those cleaners can cause such things to your skin, imagine what they can cause to your lungs when inhaled, to the air inside your house and to the environment at all. That's why many professional cleaners in Battersea recommend their clients to try finding less harmful and more eco-friendly cleaning products. Nowadays, such can be easily found on the stores and supermarkets, all you have to do is to read the labels. The less chemicals you see in the ingredients, the better.

Of course, there is one more option that will help you avoid using commercial cleaning chemicals and it is - make your own cleaning solutions. There is a number of recipes around the web that will provide you effective results. You don't have to be an alchemist and mix some kind of magical potions, or seek for weird ingredients. You have all you need in your kitchen. How's that? Open you kitchen cabinets and take a look inside of them. What do you see? Salt, vinegar, baking soda, and a bunch of other spices and food. So, here is some explanation - vinegar and lemons have acidic properties which allows them to cut through lime scale and soap scum. Lemons can work even as a bleaching agent in colaboration with direct sun rays. The baking soda is your gentle abrasive that will cut through grease easily leaving no scratches and shiny surfaces. It also absorbs odours and unpleasant smells. Essential oils are your ally in the fight for a scented environment in your home.

It's easy and cheaper to make your own cleaning solutions or to buy green cleaning products. Leave the cleaning chemicals to those who know how to work with them properly causing minimum impact on the environment and using the best part of them.
