Last week I received a guest post request from Demi Giles of Clean Start Cleaning Services, which is a UK cleaning company that uses natural cleaning products. I was more than happy to support another small business. Demi is a big advocate of going green. She truly believes that this is the right thing to do so we can take care of the environment and she is trying her best to spread the word. She believes that using non-toxic products is an important step for achieving this. Here is her article answering some basic questions on how to go green. Thanks for reaching out Demi!
Questions and answers about how to go green
More and more people consider going green. Some are driven by healthy benefits and other just want to be part of this modern tendency. Living an eco-friendly lifestyle, however, can significantly improve your physical and mental well-being. There is so much information about going green that it has already become a global push. We are constantly encouraged to buy luxurious “green” and food products. The lack of knowledge allows companies to misuse this term and increase the amount of their customers. In its genuine content, going green is pretty simple and doesn’t require any extraordinary knowledge or efforts.
Top Q&A about going green
What does going green means?
Before turning this practice into a lifestyle, one should be fully aware of its meaning. In this diverse world, going green has numerous definitions. Personally, I accept it as pursuing new knowledge and implementing ecologically responsible practices in your household, which will improve your well-being and the one of the people around you, as well as contribute to the preservation of the environment. Yet, everyone has their own definition of going green and what works for one person may not work for other people. By making your own research, you will find the necessary information and form your own opinion about going green.
How can I be green at home?
Very often people think they need to implement a lot of changes and this makes going green seem overwhelming. Yet, when we break the things down, it turns out that creating an eco-friendly household is not so tough. It takes some small changes to make a significant difference. We will go beyond saving electricity or recycling and highlight the replacement of professional cleaning materials with green ones. In their haste to ensure a healthy living environment, people store a wide selection of commercial detergents, full of harmful chemicals. The refusal to buy such products is a great way to go green.

Are green cleaning products efficient?
You may be surprised but every area of your home can be cleaned completely only by the means of green cleaning products. Baking soda, vinegar and lemon, for example, are excellent natural disinfectants and can help you eliminate every tricky stain. You can create numerous green receipts to clean the kitchen, floors, windows, furniture, etc. The best part is that they actually work and won’t expose your health to risk.

Is going green cheap?
Creating your own cleansers is really convenient. All the necessary ingredients are already in your cabinets and you don’t need to purchase any additional things. As long as there is salt, vinegar, baking soda and olive oil in your home, you always will be supplied with the necessary cleaning materials. Swapping the commercial cleansers with natural will significantly decrease your cleaning expenses.

What are my benefits from going green?
This environmentally responsible practice has numerous merits. To begin with, cleaning your home with non-toxic cleaning materials means a healthy living environment for your family. You don’t need to worry that the used cleaning products may trigger allergies or other health issues. Then, we come to efficiency. Professional cleaning products are not always as useful as the TV commercials promise, while the natural are always a reliable solution.
Your personal contribution to preserving the environment is indisputably the biggest benefit of going green. By applying non-toxic cleaning practices you encourage other people to do the same.
As you see going green doesn’t require any special preparations or products. In fact, it will make your life easier. Plus, it gives a wonderful feeling to take care of the environment.
