Eco-Friendly Cleaning: Is It Really Effective? Debunking the Myths

Green cleaning is taking off in Australia, with a growing demand for naturally derived alternatives to chemicals in cleaners. But you’re probably wondering is it all hype or does green cleaning really work? I mean, can environmentally friendly cleaners actually remove grime and microbes?

Lets cut through the misconceptions and debunk a little-known fact about environmentally friendly cleaning: Green cleaners can work at least as well, and in many cases, even better, than conventional cleaners.

Myth 1: Green Cleaners Don't Clean As Well

It’s a common assumption that natural cleaners won't remove grunge, grime, and stubborn stains. Fact? The green cleaners we use work—even better than some of they’re chemical laden counterparts, with lab proven efficacy.

Myth 2: Green Products Don't Clean and Disinfect Effectively

Another myth is that environmentally friendly cleaners cannot disinfect, particularly when placed against the strong chemicals in bleach and ammonia. It is true that conventional cleaners are powerful disinfectants, but our natural counterparts are equally as effective at killing germs and bacteria.

Some oils, such as tea tree and eucalyptus, have powerful antibacterial activity, and studies have proven them to destroy both bacteria and viruses, similar to chemical disinfectants but without the cost to your health.

Bottom Line: Eco-Friendly Cleaning Gets the Job Done

In a nutshell, environmentally friendly cleaning isn't simply effective but is also safer for your family and better to our planet.
