Eco-friendly cleaning
At The Shire Cleaning Co our team utilizes eco-friendly cleaning products and practices to ensure a clean and safe environment for all.
The impact of
regular cleaning products
Plastic and harmful chemicals significantly impact the earth, contributing to pollution, climate change and posing risks to wildlife and human health. Regular cleaning products contain chemicals that can pollute the land, air, water and eco systems where they're used and discarded.
- Human health: chemicals can cause respiratory issues, skin problems, eye irritation, ingestion hazards and long term health risks.
- Wildlife: The effects can range from immediate toxicity to long-term bioaccumulation in the food chain.
- Climate change: the production of cleaning chemicals and their packaging often rely on fossil fuels resulting in the release of greenhouse gases ,trapping heat and warming the planet.
- Some regular cleaning products still practice cruel and unethical practices and test their products on animals.
