After a long winter, a round or two of spring cleaning is a great way to bring a sense of renewal, in addition to fresh cleanliness, to your household. It can clear away the cobwebs of the mind, as well as the rafters. The phrase Spring Clean dates back to the time before electricity and power when everything in a house was covered in soot from open fires in every room. Now in the days of relatively clean heating and lighting, it feels so liberating to get rid of accumulated winter grime. Like many of us, I like to do a good spring clean, soot or not!
Cleaning without toxic chemicals is a wonderful way to turn your home into a healthy and healing place to be. Unfortunately, over past decades the ever-expanding store of home cleaning products has included a number of dangerous weapons, loaded with strong, artificial colors and fragrances and harsh cleansing agents like bleach, ammonia, alcohol and more. These chemicals are a major threat to indoor air quality, off-gassing toxic fumes that can irritate eyes and respiratory systems. They are bad for kids and pets that spend a lot of time on the floor.Many cleaners also contain unnecessary antibacterial compounds, which may lead to antibiotic resistance. There are a great range of green cleaning product ranges such as Ecover, Clear Spring and Bio D available from www.ecotopia.co.uk that are as effective as the traditional chemical laden products you find on supermarket shelves. And don’t forget multi buy and bulk options to save you even more money.
