Consumer Cleaning | Safe Home Products, Inc

Using non-toxic cleaning solutions in your home is an incredibly effective way to cut down on the environmental impact you make. However, scrubbing away with bleached, virgin-fiber paper towels can completely counteract the good you’re doing. We have come up with a few ideas to add some more green to your cleaning.

Microfiber Cloths

A great investment to make for your cleaning needs is microfiber cloths. The microfiber cloths by Starfish are made just for your every day cleaning needs. They come with a soft side and a scrubby side, and are made with tightly woven microfibers that attract dust and allergens. Plus, they last up to 300 washes, which is 299 more uses than you can get out of a paper towel.

Old T-Shirts

Do you have any old t-shirts lying around that may be too far-gone to send to Goodwill? Cut them up and turn them into cleaning rags! They work great for dusting and surface cleaning.

Recycled Paper Towels

Some people just don’t like the idea of reusable rags. If you’re one of those people who swear by your paper towels, then look at the type of paper towel you’re using. Avoid using paper towels that are bleached or treated with chemicals, as the chemicals seep into the ground when thrown away. Also, use paper towels made from recycled paper. It greatly reduces the impact on the environment, and they are equally as effective as those made from pre-consumer fibers.
