Spring is finally here, which for many homeowners means cleaning out and organizing the house. Spring cleaning is a great way to transition from winter to summer, as you will want to clear your home of any of the junk that has accumulated over the past few months. While you focus on getting your dwelling ready for a new season, you should make the effort to stay green during this process. By switching to an all-natural cleaner – instead of relying on harmful chemicals – both you and your house will benefit.

Here are a few advantages of using natural home cleaners:

• Better environment indoors: You will no longer have to worry about harmful chemicals being released into the air of your space. Chemical products often contain toxins that will seep through the air into your furniture and belongings, as well as being absorbed through your skin. Don't let your house be overtaken by what is produced by these chemicals.
• Improved health: Breathing in harmful chemicals for hours on end can wreak havoc on your body. There are also reports that using antibacterial soaps and cleaning products can create strains of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. This can have adverse effects on your health, so green products are the way to go.
• Reduce any outside damage: The chemical fumes that are released into the air of your home will most likely end up outdoors, which can go on to pollute the air and water. Natural cleaning products are biodegradable and can break down easily in the environment.

Cleaning with natural products will reduce your overall impact on the environment. If you live in the Washington, D.C. area and are looking for other ways to improve your household health, schedule an appointment today with a D.C. home inspector from Alban Inspections.
