7 Eco-Friendly Cleaning Tips from Haus Maids Winchester
These days, many of us are conscious of our environmental impact. We’re all on the lookout for small ways to reduce our carbon footprints, and opting for eco-friendly cleaning products and techniques is one such example.
At Haus Maids, we’re passionate about doing what we can for our planet. So, our house cleaners in Winchester have shared their top tips for eco-friendly cleaning that anyone and everyone should try.
1. Use a natural air freshener
Most air fresheners have plastic, single-use packaging and spread harmful chemicals through the air. Instead, freshen your living spaces naturally by leaving windows open and boiling fragrant herbs and spices to create a pleasant scent that’ll fill your home in no time.
2. Opt out of chemical cleaners
There are times when a specialist product is necessary to tackle tough stains. But more often than not, you can handle your daily domestic cleaning tasks with what’s in your kitchen cupboards.
For example, baking soda and white vinegar are staples of eco-friendly cleaning, as are lemons are banana peels. Read our recent article to discover more food items you can use to clean around the house.
3. Reduce, reuse, recycle!
Repurpose your old household items to reduce the amount of waste you produce. This could include used toothbrushes, t-shirts and socks that can be washed and reused at different stages of your eco-friendly cleaning routine.
4. Ditch single-use plastics
This is an obvious one, but it’s never worth the reminder. Ditching excessive plastic packaging is a great first step in your environmentally conscious cleaning journey. Nowadays, you can stock up on reusable glass containers and visit refill shops to purchase your essential washing liquids and detergents.
5. Choose reusable cleaning tools
Invest in high-quality, durable cleaning tools that’ll stand the test of time. For example, go for microfibre mops and cloths that can do a more efficient cleaning job than single-use products — and will continue to do so for months to come.
6. Watch your water consumption
Do you really need to leave the tap running whilst you do your weekly cleaning tasks? No, we thought not! This small adjustment can make a big difference to your consumption and your water bill, so try to find ways to minimise your water usage when possible.
7. Invest in a professional cleaner
Professional cleaners are trained in how to use products and materials most efficiently. They take the stress of cleaning off your plate to support a more stable and hygienic living environment, and they invest in the most durable equipment — so you don’t have to.
