ELIMINATING CHEMICALS FROM HOME CLEANING - Green Cleaning Your Home

09 Sep 2014 1:07 PM | IJCSA - (Administrator)
Would you try only water and a cloth to remove dirt and germs? 

A growing number of cleaning products, many made of microfiber, are designed to clean surfaces including kitchen counters and bathroom sinks with only water. 

Blogger Becky Rapinchuk, also known as the "Clean Mama," is a fan. She's been using natural cleaning products in her home for quite some time. 

"For just every day wiping down the counters, cleaning surfaces, water and a microfiber cloth is sufficient," Rapinchuk said.

Research shows 37 percent of adults would be interested in using microfiber and water to clean dirt, grease and bacteria. About 12 percent already use microfiber on a daily basis, said John Owen, a senior household analyst for Mintel.

"People are increasingly equating a clean home with a healthy home and a healthy family. But at the same time there's also concern about the cleaning product ingredients. For these consumers, they still want their homes clean, but they're looking for alternatives," Owen said.
