How to Make Your Home More Eco-Friendly

If you think for a while, you will realize how many dangerous solutions we use in our everyday life. Especially the cleaning supplies, we use are not eco-friendly at all. So, we recommend you to make some changes in order to live in a healthier home.



The first thing you have to do is to throw away every single bottle with cleaning detergents which says: �Warning� or �Caution�. Not only that they are dangerous for you but they also can ruin your rug, if you use them for carpet cleaning. So, you can just get rid of them.


The next essential thing is to learn how to make your own cleaning supplies with natural products. The three most useful ingredients are baking soda, vinegar and lemon because they clean everything without exceptions. The lemon juice is great odour removal as well as the baking soda, and the vinegar deals with greasy spots without a problem.


Changing the cleaning products is not the only way to make your home more eco-friendly. It is also really helpful to grow plants. This way you will turn your house into a wonderful green place. Plants can refresh your air and provide a lot of oxygen. This is something that air fresheners from the store cannot do.


The last thing that many carpet cleaning London services would recommend you is to buy a broom. Use the vacuum cleaner twice a week and sweep during the rest of the time.
