Why take the chance of using harsh chemicals and putting those toxins in the air to breathe, when there are all-natural cleaners and chemical-free cleaning options out there?
The weather is changing, the temperature is slowly starting to get warmer and the house is almost ready to get a makeover to officially kick off Springtime. Just the thought of being able to open the windows and let in fresh air is exciting. The winter always leaves such a feeling of stuffiness and grime. Maybe it’s the fact that we feel cooped up more during winter time, or possibly that winter seems to be crawling with germs…regardless, it’s time to prepare for spring cleaning!
Why Use All-Natural Cleaners?
The thought of using harsh chemicals to clean with just isn’t appealing anymore. Long gone are the days when we didn’t think twice about using them. Now, as we have become more educated about the importance of going chemical-free, the reasons are obvious as to why we shouldn’t be using harsh chemicals when cleaning in and around our home. Some of the reasons to stop using chemicals include:
- They are safe to use around your children and your pets. While you may not think about it, surfaces cleaned can have a residue which can end up on little hands when touched. Those little hands often find their way to their mouth for different reasons throughout the day. By using all-natural cleaning products, it means that you are keeping those harsh chemicals from ending up in their mouth.
- They are better for our environment. We aren’t dumping harsh chemicals down the drain or polluting the air we breathe when we use all-natural cleaners. Sounds like a win in my book.

I love natural cleaners. I especially love that you posted some that are new to me.

I have started using Method cleaners and I love them. I they may not be all natural but they were better than what I had been using. Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
Yes, we like the Method cleaners too!
Totally agree with you Shannon. Safety of my family and environment are the reason I prefer eco friendly natural cleaners over those harsh chemical products.
I love making my own cleaners, disinfectants and fresheners at home using natural ingredients. What about you?
All the products looks promising, I’ll give them a try.
Thank you 🙂
