USE ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
JOIN THE “USE ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS” CHALLENGE AND BE PART OF THE SOLUTION:
Common commercial cleaners are loaded with toxic and polluting substances designed to make domestic life easier. The cost of these chemical-based products can be high: long-term health concerns for people and environmental degradation.
Swapping to environmentally safe, green products is really simple for anyone who wishes to contribute to the sustainability of the environment. By using more environmentally safe products, we reduce pollution and contamination of natural resources such as air, water, and soil.
Make your own eco-friendly cleaning solutions to use around your house. Vinegar, baking soda, lemons, and a variety of other natural products can do a fantastic job at getting rid of grease and grime.
HOW TO SUCCEED IN THIS CHALLENGE
1. Use multi-purpose ingredients
Making your own cleaning products is simple, eco-friendly, and easy on your wallet – especially compared to traditional cleaning products. Cleaning agents such as baking soda and vinegar are the two most popular options. Also, consider using lemon, olive oil, and citric acid, all of which can do the trick just as as well as typical cleaning products… but for half the cost!
DIY non toxic home cleaning
For personal care products, baking soda, coconut oil, shea butter, castile soap, essential oils – all are ingredients that can be used around the home on a daily basis, in many different applications. These basic ingredients are healthy and inexpensive.
DIY non-toxic cosmetics
DIY natural beauty recipes
2. Be creative
Make some of your own green cleaning products with eco-friendly green cleaning ingredients and supplies. You will not only save money and time shopping, but you can also customize products to suit your needs by using different natural ingredients, such as essential oils.
3. Check the ingredients
If you buy commercial products, choose to use green cleaning products. Most ideal green cleaning products are made using sustainable manufacturing practices and naturally derived, safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable ingredients that don’t negatively impact the environment.
Check your cleaning products for toxic ingredients, research toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products, and remove them from your home or dorm room.
