Many people mistakenly believe the only way to thoroughly clean the home is with harsh, chemical cleansers. However, many cleaners sold in natural grocery stores work just as well, but with a lower impact on your health and the environment. If you’re considering making the switch, consider the following benefits.

3 Benefits of All-Natural Cleaners

1. Fewer Health Risks

Commercial cleaners have a strong odor that tends to linger for hours after use. The smell comes from chemicals evaporating as the surface dries. This can lead to upper-respiratory aggravation, increased allergies, and even eye irritation. All-natural cleaning products do not use those harmful chemicals. They are either unscented or derive their fragrance from essential oils, which are far less likely to cause the same ill effects.

2. Safer for Kids

Many commercial cleaners have warning labels urging parents to keep the products out of children’s reach. This is because the solutions are poisonous and can lead to extensive health problems if ingested. Natural cleaning products from your organic food store should still be kept away from children, but they’re far less likely to cause severe illness.

3. Fewer Antibacterial Ingredients

Antibacterial cleaners seem like an ideal way to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria in your home. However, since they’re in so many cleaning and hygiene products, they’re making even common household bacteria more resilient. Furthermore, research suggests antibacterial agents lead to hormone imbalances. All-natural cleaning supplies available at your natural grocery store do not contain those antibacterial agents, making them safer for your family.
