The 4 things I learned that made me ditch and switch to DIY cleaners Its so much cheaper – This 16 oz disinfectant spray made of distilled water, rubbing alcohol, and castile soap cost me a grand total of 26 cents. That’s 1/12 of the cost of an average store bought cleaner. You know when you’re cleaning the bathroom and the fan just isn’t cutting it and you start to get a headache and maybe even feel a little nauseous? Yeah turns out, that’s not good. Store bought cleaners contain dozens of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) known to cause headaches, dizziness and vomiting. Other substances found in these products have also been linked to asthma, issues with reproduction, respiratory illness, decreased lung function, and even cancer. “Green” cleaning products aren’t always green as they say they are – 95% of cleaning products are guilty of green washing – They provide misleading information to portray that their product is safe and sustainable when it actually is not. If you’re not into DIY, A few brands that I love that have clean ingredients are thieves, 9 elements, and mrs Meyers. Where does all the plastic packaging go? – Only 9% of all plastic is actually recycled. The rest ends up in a landfill or the ocean. Buying the ingredients in bulk and reusing the same bottle will help reduce your plastic consumption.
