The Benefits of Cleaning with Natural Products

What are Natural Cleaning Products?
Cleaning products generally tend to be full of synthetic chemicals and additives. These chemicals and additives can trigger and irritate allergies and other health problems like asthma.
Natural
cleaning products don’t contain any of these irritants and their ingredients are naturally sourced and non toxic. They are really effective at cleaning without being harmful to our health and environment.

Why Clean with Natural Ingredients?
There are so many cleaning products on the market these
days that our cleaning cupboards are often overflowing and we can’t find the
right product at the right time.
Using natural cleaning products is a great way to
minimise how many different products you need and also comes with added
benefits, like knowing exactly what the ingredients are and where they come from.
Here are some of the reasons we like using Natural Ingredients;
- All natural ingredients, no additives, no synthetic chemicals, no petrochemicals, phosphate and bleach free, and biodegradable so it’s safe to use throughout the home.
- Cruelty free.
- Each product has multiple uses and when used together and at different strengths they create even more.
- Limits the amount of different products you need to clean your whole house inside and out, taking up less space under the sink and less plastic waste going to landfill. You can store your homemade products in reusable containers.
- We know they work! People have been cleaning natural products for centuries so they’ve been well and truly tried and tested!
- Cost effective, all the ingredients for natural cleaners are inexpensive and last a long time, especially when you’re combing and storing them for future use.
