Bleach Isn’t Always the Answer: Safe & Effective Cleaning Tips
Bleach’s disinfection effectiveness is beyond doubt, and its affordability and widespread availability have made it a staple cleaning product in many households. However, when used for an extended period, the health threats it poses far outweigh its actual benefits. Therefore, in order to safeguard the health of family members, especially children and oneself, it is advisable to avoid using bleach. Natural Plant-based Cleaners are believed to be the optimal choice for all households!
What should not be cleaned with bleach?
Bleach is commonly used for cleaning and disinfecting spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, and toilets (toilets) due to its strong germ-killing properties, specifically targeting mold and bacteria. However, it is important to note that bleach is not a universal cleaning agent and may have adverse effects when applied to different surfaces.
Metal surfaces: Bleach can easily corrode metal, such as stainless steel, sinks, and appliance surfaces, affecting their appearance.
Wooden furniture: Bleach can damage the surface of wooden furniture and even cause discoloration.
Other common materials: Avoid using bleach on plastic, metal, wool, nylon, silk, dyed fabrics, and painted surfaces.
Proper Cleaning Practices: Opt for safer, eco-friendly Plant-based Natural Disinfectants
Following the pandemic, the usage of household disinfectants has sharply increased, and people are more particular when selecting cleaning products than before. With customers’ heightened concern for family health and the environment, natural, non-toxic cleaners have become the most suitable option for all households. While their disinfection effectiveness may not be as strong as chemical disinfectants, they are more than sufficient for general furniture, room and floor cleaning, ensuring family health and creating a safe and hygienic environment.
