We spend more time indoors in today's society than we ever have and much of this is spent at home. It's important therefore that we keep our homes as safe and healthy places for ourselves and our families.
Many people are unaware that when they are cleaning their homes they might not be doing it in the safest and healthiest way possible. For example, many of the chemical household cleaning products that are available in most shops can be dangerous if used without thought.
Here are 3 top tips for healthier household cleaning:
1. Use natural products where possible as often they are as effective as chemical products but they do not have the same health risks. Many common natural ingredients that were used to clean by our grandparents are now being used again due to their effectiveness. These include white vinegar, lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda. It is a common misconception that you need chemicals to kill germs and many of these natural products will keep your home as safe from germs as the chemicals.
2. Rather than using bleach products on mold which just bleach the color of the mold so we don't see it any more rather than get rid of it you could try using micro-fibre products. These products are designed to reach into he pores of any surface and remove the mold spores so that they do not grow back as fast next time. If using bleach you do not kill or remove the spores and so they will continue to multiply which can have detrimental heath effects.
3. Make sure you air your house on a regular basis as many modern carpets and furniture are made of materials that emit gases and when these are allowed to build up over time they can start to affect the respiratory systems. Many modern homes are sealed tight with double glazing that is rarely opened and the houses are heated heavily during the winter months which only adds to the problem. It is therefore important to open the windows on a regular basis to let the fresh air in and the stale and possibly chemical filled air out.
