Environmentally Safe Cleaning & Maintenance

By Lianne Derocco


Priority number one for us right now is to keep our homes, yards, farms and businesses cleaned up and safe from pollutants that can harm our bodies or harm the environment. Since this is very important you should also have other options for such chores and there is one. There are tools in this world which are very safe because they contain no chemicals and they are all natural.

You can use items you already possess to make cleaning products. These household cleaners are pretty nifty things to make. They are also quite safe because not only don't they contain any chemicals but it does more than what chemical-based products do. In other words, no harm will come to you and homemade products often work better than chemical cleaners. Best of all, they will not hurt your pets or any members of your family.

To make these homemade cleaning items, you can have these recipes to follow which are very easy. One on the list is a mix of baking soda, liquid soap, vinegar and water. Use this combination for cleaning up your bathrooms. Put them inside a bottle for safe keeping and to use the next time you clean. Vinegar and water mixed inside a plastic spray bottle can be used when you are cleaning windows and mirror in your homes and work just as well as chemical window spray. A mix of borax and hot water can be used to clean many types of tile and synthetic flooring. It will definitely clean those up in no time, while leaving no streaks or residue.

If you do not like nasty pests and weeds in your garden and you are having problems with it then there are natural solutions for you. A gardener would always know that these problem makers can cause damage to plants, vegetables, flowers and other valuable things in your garden so just follow this tip. Put some coffee grounds nearby your plants. These are natural types of insect repellant which can protect them from certain types of pests. There are also other types of natural products that can repel such pests and even helpful bugs can be introduced to a garden to get rid of bugs you don't want.

It might surprise you to learn that bacteria can help you deal with some issues with various water features or tanks on your property. Bacteria can be added to ponds, lakes and stock tanks. Organic debris will be gone due to the bacteria which cleans them up. Try out Healthy Ponds Stock Tank Cleaner if you want to keep your water fresh for your livestock and horses that you own in your farmland. A similar product you can use is AquaSpherePRO. In ponds and lakes there are harmful weeds and excess algae and this product cleans them up. Inside it is a bacterium that will eat away at the excess algae and since it is natural and has no chemical agent in it, it is safe for fish, wildlife and people and is even approved by veterinarians.

Livestock owners often face some troubling agricultural waste issues and these problems include foaming and top-layer crusting as well as the build-up of sludge on the bottom of a hog waste pit or a waste lagoon. Again, naturally occurring bacterial microbes can be used to eat away at the sludge and crust, liquefying your waste. Agra Sphere and Lagoon Agra Sphere have been created to attack these problems using only natural ingredients. These agricultural waste management products also can lessen odors typical of waste pits and lagoon and even reduce the amount of flies surrounding your waste containment system.
