When I was a child, I played in the dirt with my friends and romped and stomped outside all day. My parents weren’t worried about germs or being “clean”. Fast forward to today, and people are consumed with heavy, antibacterial cleaners, most filled with toxins more harmful to them than the dirt itself.

In recent years, the use of natural-based cleaning products has become increasingly popular. They are a great alternative to traditional cleaning products, as they are better for the environment and for human health. This blog will discuss the benefits of using natural-based cleaning products.

This article provides scientific proof of the benefit of using cleaning products that contain probiotics. A study demonstrated that the use of probiotic cleaning is effective in reducing microbial growth in dental settings.

Look at NASA’s list of indoor plants that will naturally clean your space Years ago, a team at NASA conducted its ‘clean air study’ to investigate the naturally filtering properties of plant life. NASA had conducted the study in response to the ‘sick building syndrome,’ as it came to be known late into 20th century. During that time, fresh air exchange in buildings was sacrificed in favor of reduced energy usage — to lower the cost of heating and cooling a building, interiors were super-insulated sealed airtight. Of course, this condition saw the rise of various illnesses transmitted due to the lack of...
