What are the best natural cleaning products?

With increasing numbers of people experiencing allergic reactions from conventional cleaning products, we don’t blame you for considering non-toxic cleaning solutions to keep your family safe. It’s possible for the coronavirus to live up to three days on some surfaces, such as plastic and stainless steel, so, first and foremost, it’s essential to understand the difference between cleaning and disinfecting. Basically, cleaning removes germs and dirt from surfaces, removing or reducing the number of germs to lower the risk of infection, whereas disinfecting uses chemicals to kill germs. That said, the Environmental Protection Agency’s list of ‘green’ disinfectants effectively tested for killing the coronavirus include non-toxic options including citric acid and alcohol.

All-in-all, regular deep cleaning of your home will considerably reduce the risk of infection. With this in mind, this useful non-toxic cleaning product list coupled with essential cleaning checklists will keep your home sparkling clean for longer.
