How Green is your Clean?
Cleaning products take a toll on our environment. In order to kill viruses and harmful bacteria, people have become accustomed to using products which are also dangerous and toxic to the environment. We must take care to avoid getting them on our skin, or in food. Many toxic cleaners release fumes which harm air quality and contain substances which pollute waters and hurt fish and other wildlife. There are now plenty of safe and effective cleaning products on the market. No one has to use toxic chemicals in their home or office in order to get things clean and sanitary. We can avoid all these dangers and feel better about our clean by using green products. If you have your cleaning done by a service, you can ask them what cleaners they use and most will have green cleaning options by request.
Clean and Safe Doesn’t Mean Sterile
When you shop, look for green products, check the ingredients, do some research. You can also make your own cleaning products out of basics like baking soda, white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, castile soap and vodka which are all green and effective. You can further enhance the effectiveness of these products by adding small amounts of essential oils. Tea tree oil and lavender essential oils are both highly effective at destroying harmful bacteria and viruses while remaining safe, gentle, even beneficial, for the body and the earth. Products like the anti-bacterial ingredient triclosan are too aggressive and are causing health issues as well as contributing to stronger bacteria. We don’t really need sterile environments unless we are doing surgery. Washing hands with mild castile soap and keeping your home clean in a green way is the best way to stay healthy. We do not need or want to kill all the bacteria; only the harmful ones.

How to clean your house in a one day?
Find your inner house cleaner
There is nothing wrong with hating house cleaning but still loving to live in a tidy place. If that’s your case then the below tips will surely help you get the most out of your clean-up. First and foremost, make sure that the right atmosphere is set. While your favorite band is playing, visualize each activity that has to be done in every place of your house.
The key to effective home cleaning is always a good organization! Taking care of bedrooms and the living room is usually straightforward. Start by clearing all the clutter, dust all the visible surfaces and vacuum the place. Remember to always dust from top to bottom and vacuum the place just before being finished with it. It is also a good time to reconsider keeping some of the accessories you know you won’t be using anymore.
Bathroom and kitchen cleaning in a nutshell
Bathroom cleaning usually seems the most challenging for most people, wrongly. First, get rid of all the clothes or cups, take out the trash and move the side tables to clean under them. Consider using tissues and scrub powder specially designed for bathrooms which are the most effective against hard water stains. The order of fixtures you clean is irrelevant as long as you mop the floors lastly.
When it comes to kitchen cleaning, start with washing the dishes, then move onto clearing the counters. Remember to rinse the sponge in hot water. After that, it’s usually best to clean the faces of appliances. At Kamila House Cleaning Services we only use the most trusted brands for that. And lastly, we ask you: please, don’t exclude the windows! Clear windows will pass on more light to the interior and therefore will make living a bit more comfortable. It is best to use squeegees to remove the dirt from glass and then wipe it with cotton material.
