Choosing which cleaning products we use usually comes down to familiarity and cost, switching over to new products can often seem too pricey or not even cross our minds!


Did you know traditional cleaning products contain chemicals that can be harmful to both our health and our surroundings...


Choosing eco-friendly, biodegradable, and non-toxic cleaning products are not only affordable but are not pricey to the planet, our furry friends and us!


If you haven’t already made the eco-switch, here are 6 reasons to consider coming to the greener side or hiring an eco cleaning service... 


1. Healthier Living and Work Environment

One of the most significant advantages of using eco-friendly cleaning products is the promotion of a healthier living and work environment. Traditional cleaning products contain harmful chemicals such as ammonia, chlorine, and phthalates, which can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.


In contrast, eco-friendly products are formulated with non-toxic ingredients that are gentle on the skin and respiratory system, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and respiratory problems - safer for you, your family and pets!

2. Environmental Sustainability and Water Quality

Traditional cleaning products contain chemicals that can have detrimental effects on the environment. When these chemicals are washed down the drain, they can end up polluting waterways and harming aquatic ecosystems. In contrast, eco-friendly cleaning products are made from natural, biodegradable ingredients that break down safely in the environment, reducing pollution and minimising our ecological footprint.



3. Versatility and Effectiveness

Eco-friendly cleaning products are just as effective at tackling bacteria, dirt and stains as their chemical counterparts. There’s a wide range of eco-friendly options available that deliver exceptional cleaning without compromising on performance and hygiene.


Sorry About The Mess use eco-friendly products that come in concentrated forms, reducing packaging waste and our carbon footprint.


4. Improved Indoor Air Quality

Many traditional cleaning products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can off-gas into the air, contributing to indoor air pollution. Prolonged exposure to VOCs can lead to a range of health issues, including headaches, dizziness, and respiratory problems. By using eco-friendly cleaning products that are free from VOCs and other harmful chemicals, businesses can improve indoor air quality and create a healthier and more comfortable working environment for their employees.


5. Supporting Sustainable Practices

By choosing eco-friendly cleaning products, you're supporting companies that prioritise sustainable practices throughout their production process.


The UK laundry industry is responsible for almost 11,000 tonnes of plastic packaging every year and UK households contribute 96.57 billion pieces of plastic to global waste each year, 7% coming from cleaning and toilet supplies.


Sustainable practises source renewable ingredients and utilise eco-friendly packaging materials, these companies are committed to reducing their plastic waste, overall environmental impact and promoting a more sustainable future.
