The earth is facing environmental problems that have the potential to affect all of its inhabitants.
Actually, many problems are already being experienced in some parts of the world.
Every one of us is challenged to help, if not in totally eradicating and resolving the problem, at least reducing our carbon footprint.
Green cleaning is one way to help, but you might wondering, "What is it?"  It can have several interpretations depending on how you apply the phrase.
But all have the same goal...
to use cleaning methods, techniques and products with eco-friendly chemicals and ingredients to preserve the quality of the environment.
Some may interpret green cleaning as using all natural cleaning materials such as baking soda, vinegar and lemon to clean their homes and offices, while others use the term for products that are biodegradable or use recyclable packaging to reduce the garbage dumped in landfills.
Green cleaning also refers to the services offered by some residential and commercial cleaners that employ eco-friendly cleaning products and methods to keep the environment healthy.
These are usually hired by home owners and establishments that do not have much time to clean and want to ensure that their spaces are cleaned using techniques that are good for the earth and their health.
To take part in preserving the environment, use green cleaning products and services that are recommended by the organizations and agencies whose missions are to preserve the human health and environment.
Support companies that are responsible in marketing cleaning services using ingredients that are not harmful to the environment.
With small changes we can make a difference.
