Clean Up Your Cleaning Products

At The Maids of Dallas, we not only believe in keeping a clean home – we believe in keeping a clean environment. We only use environmentally preferred cleaning products in order to protect the Earth and your house from potentially dangerous cleaning chemicals.

You may not know it, but many commercial cleaning products contain an abundance of harmful chemicals, even when the label says “natural”. The fact is, there is no real standard for labeling cleaning products, and thousands of chemicals found these cleaners aren't even approved by the EPA.

These chemicals can be inhaled while you are cleaning, absorbed through your skin, or even rinsed down the drain to pollute your water system. Studies have shown that using a household cleaning spray as little as once per week can increase your risk of developing asthma and that many aerosol sprays contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can damage your central nervous system, liver, and kidneys – stop using these products!

So what can you do to clean up your cleaning products?

Stop buying commercial cleaners from the store and instead opt to use natural ingredients that you probably already have sitting in your home. Not only will you help protect your family's health and save the environment, you will also save money too. Items such as vinegar, baking soda, lemon, and salt can be mixed and used to clean almost any surface in your home – you no longer have to buy a separate cleaner for your floors, countertops, glass, shower, etc.
