Myth vs. Fact: Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products CAN Actually Clean!!!

It is officially "mess" season - are you ready?

Autumn's vibrant hues have begun to grace our surroundings. With that natural beauty, we also welcome the season of messes with open arms - and I'm not just talking about pumpkin carving gone awry. The changing weather ushers in muddy paw prints, leaves, pine needles, sticky candy goo on furniture (thanks Halloween), and extra messes from our upcoming holiday celebrations. 

It's a season of joy, and yes, a season of mess, but here's the secret: eco-friendly cleaning products are not just effective; they're downright magical! In this month's newsletter, we're dispelling the myth that eco-friendly cleaning products can't tackle the toughest messes and stains. As the CEO and owner of Speed Cleaning, I've seen firsthand how our eco-friendly arsenal of cleaning solutions rises to the challenge, leaving your home sparkling and your conscience clear. Join us as we explore the world of eco-friendly cleaning and bid farewell to fall messes in the most delightful way.

Myth: Eco-friendly cleaning products don't work on tough stains. 

Fact: Many eco-friendly cleaning products can be formulated to tackle tough stains and grime just as effectively as conventional cleaners.

The myth that eco-friendly cleaning products are ineffective against tough stains is often rooted in misconceptions about their ingredients and capabilities. In reality, many eco-friendly cleaning products can hold their own against even the most stubborn of stains. Here's the scientific truth behind it: 

• Enzymatic Action: One of the key principles behind eco-friendly cleaning products' stain-fighting abilities is enzymatic action. Enzymes are natural proteins that can break down complex organic compounds. For instance, protease enzymes can target protein-based stains like blood or food, while lipase enzymes work on oily stains. These enzymes are harnessed in eco-friendly cleaners, providing effective stain removal while being gentle on the environment. 
• Surface Tension Reduction: Surfactants, a common component in eco-friendly cleaning products, reduce the surface tension of water. This means that water can penetrate stains more effectively, loosening their grip on surfaces. This action enables eco-friendly cleaners to tackle a wide range of stains, from coffee to red wine, with ease. 
• Solubility and Emulsification: Eco-friendly cleaning products often contain natural solvents and emulsifiers that enhance their stain-removing properties. These components help dissolve and lift away stains by making them more soluble in water. This process is just as effective as the mechanisms in conventional cleaners. 
• Biodegradable Ingredients: Eco-friendly cleaners are designed with biodegradable, non-toxic ingredients. This not only ensures they are safe for the environment but also for your family's health. Their efficacy in stain removal demonstrates that you don't need harsh, toxic chemicals to achieve a deep and thorough clean. ?
