9 Reasons to Use Chemical Free Cleaning Products in Your Home

While we sometimes like artificial scents to make our homes smell nice, they're rarely the ones that are associated with common cleaners. Those are strong and abrasive. They have to be to mask the chemical scents.

Many people are allergic to perfumes and have to avoid the fake scents put over the chemicals. Then they're subject to the strong chemical smells instead, which are no better. 

With green cleaners, smells are mild and tolerable.

VOCs (or volatile organic compounds) are chemicals that are in a plethora of household products, as well as some common materials and flooring. It's best to minimize your exposure to VOCs, especially if you're sensitive to common allergens.

By going green, VOCs won't be a problem at all. You'll know the ingredients that you're spreading around your home.

With chemical-free cleaning products, you're much more likely to know what you're working with. This means you can avoid unwanted ingredients and feel safe spreading these cleaners on your tables, countertops, and floors. 

On the other hand, standard cleansers can contain ingredients that are harmful if dumped outside, and ingredients that are non-renewable. This means that they're not doing great things for your world. 

Babies and pets are much closer to these surfaces (especially low tables and floors) than we are, and often put their mouths on things. With chemical-heavy cleaners, there could be harmful ingredients leftover.

With green cleaners, you can feel safe knowing that your children and animals aren't being harmed by your products.

Chemical cleaners can be harsh on the body. Some of them even suggest wearing rubber gloves for use, or to avoid inhaling! 

While these problems dissipate after the cleaners are used, it's best to avoid the problem in the first place. You may find that problems that you've been dealing with inside the home that you've been attributing to allergies mysteriously fade away.

But what about the daily exposure to little things? A tiny bit of glass cleaner here and there every day? A quick swipe of the stovetop after dinner every night?

Repeat exposure can up your risk of harm even for relatively harmless chemicals. By making the switch to natural products, you help to avoid that risk entirely. 

The FDA says that there's no proof that using antibacterial soaps and cleaners will help keep you safe from illness more effectively than any other kind of cleaner. 

Furthermore, you're giving strains of bacteria resistance against our antibacterials and antibiotics through overuse.

By avoiding these ingredients when you don't objectively need them, you're protecting yourself and avoiding the creation of super bacteria. Using natural cleaners for your home and body could be saving yourself a future illness.

Do you really think that different surfaces in different rooms, sometimes made of the same materials, need different cleaners? A few, sure, but an entire cabinet full? Unlikely. What are all of those extra ingredients for? What are they doing that the other ones aren't doing?

Trim the fat and stick to only what you need. Multipurpose natural cleaners will help keep your cabinets (and ingredient lists) decluttered. 

Switching over to a more natural and environmentally-friendly product will leave your home fresher, cleaner, and less toxic, not to mention safer for any more vulnerable family members who happen to spend time there.

With only a handful of necessary products, it doesn't hurt to give chemical-free cleaning products a try, even if you're not completely convinced. The value that you get from a handful of safe products versus a cabinet of chemical-laden ones is incredible, you won't look back.
