Plant Based Cleaning Healthier for you and the Planet 

We are starting to see a rise in the number of mainstream supermarkets and high street stores opting for plant-based cleaning products. Here is the low down on how they are; 

different to standard cleaning products, how they benefit you and the planet, and some further information around the subject......

So, what are the benefits to plant-based products? Unlike chemical-heavy cleaners, they are formulated using ingredients derived from nature—coconut cleansers, bio enzymes, citric acid, and essential oils—all of which clean effectively without the risks associated with synthetic chemicals.

They are also specifically designed to be biodegradable, meaning they decompose naturally and rapidly into non-toxic, harmless components that can be absorbed safely by the environment.

Other plant cleaning tips;

*Use less materials with plastic in, opt for natural materials like  cotton mops

*Use recyclable materials where possible, not single use items

*If possible buy cleaning products that come in bigger packaging, and try to opt for containers made from recyclable packaging 

*You can even opt for steam cleaning floors and cupboards, which takes all cleaning products out of the equation!

All of these products are highly effective and (very importantly) affordable……… 

It can be a bit of a minefield choosing the right products with the extensive choice that is out there and with smart arse accusations of greenwashing ....it is  easy just to give up....but really any thought or effort around the subject helps !!!

Look out for our next few articles and if you would like to ask any questions please email.......

Professional Green Cleans' Favourite Products 

Some of Professional Green Cleans favourite products and why they are unique.

Miniml  

Transparent  on ingredients, we found their article on " ingredients we avoid"  a clear and informative piece, which can also help with other consumer choices. 

Available to order online at  Ocado, we noticed the standard recycled packaging comes in 5ml (bigger) packaging. This means we can all be a little greener in our weekly online shop, and more importantly keep costs down.  Miniml states that its cleaning products are great for domestic and commercial use. "It is food safe, non tainting and ideal for Cafes and Kitchens." 

Delphis is an affordable brand and comes with excellent green credentials. It too is transparent on its ingredients ......it targets  the commercial sector in particular, and appears to be  a credible and sustainable choice ..........as more businesses are critically assessed  on there  green credentials   products like miniml, delphis and other environmentally conscious brands will be the standard go to......well we hope so 

….and lastly….we love scrubbies......

Plant based products in the commercial sector 

Delphis is one of a few companies that has broken the back and  into the commercial market, using plant based products, and deploying  environmental strategies. Purely from aa business point of view, it is worth going on their  website just to access their free COSH and cleaning guidance tutorial.

 It has successfully implemented green strategies on an industrial scale and is looking to be a sustainable business model.

We hope consumers  give some kudos to  those that have made the effort to up their eco credentials  in the commercial sector.....although it is understood that  budget plays a part in this! In our next editorial we look at green credential labels and cost effective  ways of implementing them…
