There are a few different types of products that are labeled as "green," but there are still differences between them. For example, some products are biodegradable and slightly friendlier to the environment than traditional cleaners, while others are made from all-natural ingredients entirely.
The specific type of product used during cleaning makes a difference. Eliminating paper towels is a great way to go green, because it reduces excess waste. Did you know that you can use lemon juice for quick touch-up cleaning, bathroom cleaning, and to sanitize kitchen surfaces? It's just one example of how your cleaning can be effective without harsh chemicals.
Green Apple of Ottawa proudly uses green products and practices in our cleaning services. If you would like to learn more about our methods, schedule a service with us by calling (866) 685-0321 today.

A clean home is not always a healthy home, but a home that is cleaned using green and sustainable practices is! Hiring a house cleaning service that values your health and that of the environment offers the key benefit of a fresh and clean home that is actually healthier than it would be if you cleaned it with common cleaning agents.
This is because today's household cleaners made with chemicals and synthesized products are harmful to the environment in several different ways. Traditional cleaning methods, such as using disposable paper towels, also contribute to waste and put a strain on our environment.
- Harsh cleaners contribute to indoor air pollution. The chemicals that we are used to using for home cleaning are not only harmful by nature, but it can release gases and other volatile organic compounds even long after we have stopped using them. These vapors can severely lower our indoor air quality and add to the pollution inside our homes. This can compromise the health of your home's inhabitants.
- Green cleaners use natural products. Cleaning compounds derived or consisting entirely of natural products can get the job done right. They are also just as effective as traditional chemical cleaners, but do not release harmful compounds into the air. In fact, many of today's synthesized cleaners work on the same basic principles as everyday natural items that a green house cleaning company uses for routine cleaning.
- Green home cleaners practice sustainable methods. An environmentally-conscious house cleaning company understands the value of being sustainable. Wasteful products like paper towels and disposable sponges only add to landfill waste, and continue to release harmful chemicals. Instead, reusable products that can be washed have far less of an impact on the environment, especially when paired with green cleaning products.
