Does your cleaning service in NYC help you to become green?

Do you often think about taking care of the environment, about being green and how you can reduce your fingerprints?
You often think about it but you are very busy with your work and kids and every day chores. You just do not have time to do research to find out the easiest way to be green.

There are a few simple tips for how you can improve your life and change from toxic to green.
First of all ask your cleaning service to switch the cleaning products. There are many companies making green cleaning products, like Seventh Generation which is my favorite.

This simple switch will help you to improve the quality of the air in your house and the green products are much better for the environment.

The studies show that children’s bodies contain many pesticides and compounds. By asking your cleaning service in NYC to use green cleaning products you are preventing your child from being exposed to toxic chemicals.

If your cleaning service will not agree to change the products to green ones you can simply change your cleaning service to one which offers organic products.
There are a few cleaning services in NYC which are green because they realize how harmful the regular products might be.

Fiber Mop vs. Vacuum Cleaner…

I have another interesting question. Do you need a vacuum cleaner if you have wooden floors?
Definitely yes!

It’s good to know that fiber cloth or broom doesn’t wipe dust as well as vacuum cleaner. When you are using a vacuum cleaner be sure that you have the proper end designed for wooden floors, so that you will not scratch the surface. Vacuum very carefully wipes the dust from the floor. If you have an allergy, make sure that you have a special filter “HEPA”. You are certain that all allergens stay on the filter. As for fiber mop, it is very helpful when you hire a cleaning service once a week and your family consists of several people. Usually between the cleanings, you don’t have time for vacuuming. Using fiber mop, it will allow you to keep neatness throughout the week until your cleaning service arrives.

And what are your preferences?

I would love to hear your feedback about today’s post. So TalkBack to me… I’m listening!

Buying a vacuum cleaner? You have to hear this!

How Does Your Cleaning Service Deliver Additional service Which You Certainly Don’t Want In Your House?

Does your cleaning service, which you actually hire, use regular cleaning products? If yes, read carefully. If not, your service is cleaning green, you are happy, and you don’t have to worry anymore.

Do you know what is the quality of air in your home? According to EPA, the air, which you are breathing right now, is four to five times worse than outside the building.

Now imagine that your cleaning service or housekeeper has been cleaning your apartment for couple of hours or days or even weeks. It is easy to guess that all the toxins included in the cleaning products penetrate into your home environment. If you are using several cleaning detergents at once, you can be sure that in your home occur chemical reactions which are very similar like the ones in a laboratory; however, you are not using any mask which could protect you from hazardous toxins.

Remember that you are coming home in order to rest and relax yourself. Unfortunately, in the meantime, you are breathing in toxins which are left by your actual cleaning service or housekeeper after their work.

Is this the way you want to spend your money for services which are more harmful then helpful to you?

Don’t Forget Cleaning Your Bathroom

Bathrooms can harbor some very dangerous germs. It is absolutely critical that you take extra care in the bathroom. It is important to know the different areas that need to be addressed in order to keep you and/or your family healthy. If cleaning the bathroom is not one of your favorites on your to do list, you could consider hiring a cleaning service. Either way, this room must be cleaned as thoroughly as possible.

Make sure you tackle these areas and here are some ideas to clean the natural way!

Drains – Pour ½ cup of baking soda into the drain, while letting the water run over it for a few minutes to keep your drains in good shape and clog free. Drains can really harbor those nasty germs.
Tub and Shower– You should clean your tub and shower with straight vinegar for that extra cleaning power. Shower curtains should be kept dry to prevent mildew and mold build up. Use white vinegar to remove lime and mineral deposits. Leave a rag that has been soaked in the vinegar on spots for an hour. These spots should wipe right off.
Showerhead – Remove your showerhead from the shower pipe and soak it in straight vinegar.
Reduce mildew by reducing moisture in the bathroom. Run a vent fan or ceiling fan to circulate the moisture particles and prevent them from settling.

You can use a toothbrush to reach those not so easy spots! Good luck and happy cleaning!
