With the Coronavirus pandemic, we’ve become more particular about cleanliness and sanitation – we’ve resorted to cleaning frequently, and with more precision compared to normal. The repeated wiping down of common touch-points like doorknobs, handles, and surfaces means we’re going through containers of cleaner at an astonishing speed. Most commonly available surface cleaners are full of toxic chemicals, which are not only bad for us but also for the environment. Add to that the amount of single-use plastic being consumed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and we know we have a real problem.
While we can’t completely stop using plastic or chemical products, we can do more to limit our exposure and make better choices when it comes to our homes and the environment. A small change we can make is switching over to a non-toxic surface cleaner like this Neem & Lemon one from Bare Necessities. This all natural surface cleaner just has five ingredients – neem and lemon essential oils, baking soda, washing soda, coconut oil soap, and water. It targets dust, grime, and grease, and leaves your surfaces sparkling clean – use it on kitchen countertops, windows, glass, handles, bathroom fixtures, granite, and more. You can also use it to wipe down kitchen appliances and the inside of the oven after quarantine cooking experiments!
And when you’re ready to upgrade all your other home care products in time for your next cleaning spree after binge-watching The Home Edit on Netflix, check out Bare Necessities for their laundry detergent, and dish washing liquid too. Pair it up with a coconut scrub pad – derived from coconut husk, and channel your inner Virgo energy.
