You likely grew up with your parents cleaning the bathroom using the harsh cleaners that most people still use today. Nobody knew that there was an alternative, and few realized that these alternative substances were ineffective and possibly even more dangerous than traditional methods. Unfortunately, most of the chemicals in the cleaners that you are using to eliminate mold actually create fumes that are harmful to the health of you, your children and your pets. Organic, eco-friendly alternatives will get the job done without posing these dangers.
Misconceptions and Misinformation
Environmentally-friendly cleaning products are widely misconstrued as softer, gentler solutions that don’t actually get the job done. Many of these products are made with household items that you already have on hand, and you might wonder if the mixtures are really safe to handle since they don’t carry a label that says so.
It all comes down to educating yourself. Learn which chemicals shouldn’t mix, and you will know what’s safe to make at home. If you are considering buying a commercially-made eco-friendly mold cleaner, research the manufacturer and find out how it is made. You might find that you are much more comfortable with the materials used to make eco-friendly mold cleaners than you are with the chemicals in the cleaners that you’ve been using for years.
Spread the Word
Once you’ve tried an eco-friendly mold cleaner and learned how well it works, share the information with your friends and family so that they can enjoy the same benefits.
* Post about your experiences on social media and tell everyone about the cleaner that you used and how effective it was. Talk about how you used it, the effort required to make it, and how much you loved the end result.
* Take before and after pictures to show how well the organic ingredients you used got the job done. Many of these concoctions can even clean mold better than the products that are sold on shelves, and you’ll feel better when you see their results.
* Start a blog talking about your research and experimentation with eco-friendly mold cleaners. Tell the blogosphere all about how you found out about the products you use, where you got any recipes to make your own, and how well each one worked.
Have fun with your endeavor and especially with learning about the alternatives to harsh chemicals. You can even talk about how much better you feel when you’re not ingesting the fumes produced by the chemicals you’ve used in the past and the peace of mind that comes with doing your part to promote renewable resources.
A Clean and Happy Home
The processes of using eco-friendly mold cleaners is not that much different than using the cleaners that you’ve always used. When you make the switch you are helping everyone that lives in your home have a happier and healthier life. You are also participating in an integral piece of environmental conservation. Everybody wins!
