Green Cleaning
Many widely available detergents, dish soaps, and cleaning agents contain harmful, highly toxic chemicals that threaten human health as well as the health of our waterways. Wastewater containing these toxic chemicals washes down drains and into the environment where they can cause large-scale pollution problems, affect ecosystems and even contaminate our drinking water. There are a growing number of non-toxic cleaning products available.
Oceanic Global suggest these steps:
Ensure soaps and detergents are phosphate free, and buy eco-certified, non-toxic cleaning products.
Choose durable, reusable cleaning equipment in the place of disposables.
Select chlorine-free bleach options.
Opt for sprays rather than aerosols.
