Green Ideas and Cleaning the Home
June 4, 2020

green cleaning

Going green at home does not require a lot of investment, and it doesn’t consume much time either. On the contrary, choosing to incorporate green living in your home will be the best decision you could ever make when it comes to saving up both time and money. So, if you’re planning to go green, the best place to start you off is with the cleaning of your home. Below are some expert’s ideas that you need to incorporate into your home when you choose to go green when cleaning.

Use Old Newspapers to Clean Windows

Old newspapers seem to pile up over time. Using old newspapers for cleaning your windows is a totally green cleaning idea nobody ever thought of. Instead of having those old newspapers lying around and filling up your space, you can recycle them in a special way by using them to clean doors, windows, and other glasses in your home. You can also use old rugs or cotton t-shirts to do the work and save on the cost of buying paper towels. Before you throw things away, look at them one last time to see how they might be able to be recycled.

Reduce the Space

Do you have a big space in your home that you’re not really using? Do you know that the extra space is using too much energy to clean and also consuming a lot of your time? According to a study, the house sizes in the U.S. are recording steady growth with new homes consuming a lot of space with very few people living in those houses. Large houses clearly are a huge drain on environmental resources. You’ll also spend a lot of time and energy cleaning. You can reduce the size of your home and buy smaller household items to save on space. For instance, instead of filling up all the space with a huge bed, you can go for queen bed dimensions, which are space-conscious and still comfortable.

Recycle the Plastic Tins

There is nothing amusing at home when you have plastic bottles and tins thrown everywhere. Burning them is also not a good idea because they will only end up emitting a foul smell in the air polluting the environment in the process. So, the best thing to do with them is simply to recycle them into planters or kitchen containers. You can clean them then fill them with soil. Plant some herbs or even some flowers to add some aesthetic appeal to your home.

Use Homemade Cleaning Products

It is quite obvious that chemicals can cause a lot of damage to your home. Avoid the use of chemical products at your home if you want fresh and conducive air. Relieve the stress of spending money on cleaning products by simply creating homemade cleaning products at the comfort of your home. An easier way to do this is to create your cleaner by mixing water and apple cider vinegar to come up with a multipurpose cleaning product. These homemade cleaning products are healthier to the green environment and are the best non-toxic chemicals for a green home.

Clean Up the Air Inside Your House

You might be dedicated to cleaning your home and ensuring you spent time in an eco-friendly space but is the air surrounding you and your loved ones clean? You should never forget to check your cooking and heating systems and clean them at least twice a year. You need to get professional cooling and heating contractors to inspect these systems as recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This will help you get rid of dust, mold, and contaminants that can contaminate the air you’re breathing. This way, you can protect your family from allergies and ensure an eco-friendly environment.

A green home attracts peaceful existence among the homeowners. So putting up eco-friendly measures as discussed above can improve your lifestyle and that of your family. And as you have seen, going green does not mean that your pocket will also get dry to achieve it. Just start with small and simple green cleaning outlined above, and you will eventually enjoy an eco-friendly environment.
