Small Switches, Big Impact – Earth Day Cleaning Tips

Every April 22nd, people around the world come together to celebrate Earth Day – a reminder that our planet needs care, love, and intentional choices every day of the year.

At Speed Cleaning, we believe that sustainability starts with small, powerful habits. One of the simplest changes that makes a massive difference? Switching to concentrated cleaning products.

 Why Concentrated Cleaners Are a Smart, Eco-Friendly Choice

Most traditional cleaners come in large plastic bottles filled mostly with water. Once used, those bulky bottles are thrown away – adding to the billions of tons of plastic waste that clog our landfills and oceans.

Concentrated formulas reduce water use during manufacturing, and the smaller packages cut down on carbon emissions during shipping. With just one small refill bottle, you can make multiple standard-sized cleaning solutions — which means less plastic waste, lower transportation impact, and more room under your sink.

The Power of Biodegradable Ingredients

Many of our cleaning products, like our popular Red Juice, are biodegradable — but what does that really mean?

Biodegradable means that the ingredients break down naturally over time, without leaving harmful residues in the environment. Instead of polluting water systems or harming wildlife, biodegradable products return safely to nature.

That’s a big win — not just for the planet, but for your home too.

Recycling & Rethinking Everyday Habits

While reducing waste is key, recycling remains an essential part of protecting our planet. Unfortunately, the vast majority of plastic ever produced still hasn’t been recycled and continues to pile up in landfills, where it can take centuries to decompose.

Did you know that paper makes up over 25% of the waste generated in cities each year? A big portion of that comes from single-use paper towels.

One simple switch with a big impact? Trade disposable paper towels for reusable cleaning cloths. Our 100% Cotton cloths are not only more effective at trapping dirt and bacteria — they also help you reduce waste and save money in the long run. Just wash, dry, and reuse!

If you're unsure how or where to start with recycling you can reach out to your local recycling program — whether public or private — to learn about options in your community.

Everyday Choices Matter

It’s not just the big initiatives that make a difference. Incorporating small changes into your daily routine — like choosing concentrated, biodegradable products and reusable cloths instead of paper towels — adds up over time. These simple shifts create a ripple effect toward a cleaner, healthier future.
