To make impactful changes to our environment and health it takes recognizing the problems and working together to find solutions. Getting educated and understanding the risk affiliated with many commonly used chemicals and cleaning methods is a good start. Many chemicals are used incorrectly or in excess putting unnecessary strain on our planet.

Using products that are naturally derived and non toxic are safer to use in almost every application. Reducing the risk of exposure to harmful chemicals makes cleaning safer for everyone. You can even clean without using chemical. Floors can be cleaned using steam, allowing high temperatures and water vapor to disinfect. 

I strongly believe that many people are overusing harmful chemicals. Not only does the overuse of these chemicals contribute to the decline in our air quality. But also increases the production of these chemicals which has indirect impact on our environment with manufacturing, transportation and disposal all leaving behind a large environmental footprint. 

You can reduce your environmental footprint by reducing the amount of waste you produce while cleaning and choosing safer chemicals. Using microfiber towels instead of paper towels and reusing properly labeled chemical containers is a great start in reducing your environmental footprint.
