There are a number of reasons why going eco-friendly is a wonderful solution for cleaning mattresses.

1: Health

We are now learning that these chemical cocktails of cleaning products may be having a harmful impact on our health. Perhaps the most important benefit of using eco-friendly cleaning for your mattress is that you will no longer have the threat of chemicals. These chemical cleaners are being absorbed by the skin and breathed in by the person cleaning and the person sleeping on the mattress. Using eco-friendly cleaning methods allow for better health for all who come in contact with mattress.

2: Environment

Eco-friendly cleaning allows for you and others to no longer be threatened by harmful chemicals being released into the environment. This especially provides a rest provoking environment for the best sleep possible.

3: Aromatherapy

Part of eco-friendly cleaning means mixing your own cleaning products. This gives one the advantage of adding unique aromas that will provoke calm and a less stressful atmosphere. Adding essential oils such as lavender will make cleaning a pleasurable task as well as fill the mattress surface will aromas that will help with better sleep.

4: Child and Pet Safety

Young children and pets are usually even more sensitive to the chemicals used in common cleaning products. Eco-friendly solutions used for cleaning mattresses will help guard against seeping into delicate skin and the pets’ paws. Green cleaning the mattress will provide a safe place for the child to sleep without creating allergic type problems that may arise from chemical cleaners.

5: Air Quality

No one wants to sleep on a mattress emitting strong chemical odors. This will not promote a peaceful and healthy sleep. By green cleaning the mattress you will have better air quality that is filled with delightful natural smells.

6: Knowledge

Knowledge is power. It is important to understand what ingredients are being used to clean your surfaces. With the government not necessitating the listing of ingredients on any cleaning products means that you may not know what could be causing harm when using these to clean your mattress. By making your own mattress eco-friendly cleaning products you will have the knowledge to understand that your mattress will be safely cleaned.

7: Asthma Reduced

Listed today as the most common chronic illness, asthma is a huge reason why one should be using eco-friendly products to clean the mattress. With many commercial cleaning products including ingredients that are known to contribute to a higher risk of asthma, it is the perfect reason to opt for green cleaning. Eco-friendly cleaning does not use chemicals that cause asthma, with limits on elements that could activate asthma in those with the existing condition.

8: Cleaning Safety

Chemical based cleaners can be less safe for the cleaner causing burns to skin and eyes. Green cleaners use safe ingredients that will not be harsh for those using them. Eco-friendly cleaners are made using strict ideals pertaining to inhalation toxicity and skin absorption.

9: Less Antibacterials

According to the AMA we have now learned that use of antibacterial cleaners actually can promote bacterial resistance to antibiotics. The common antibacterial agent Triclosan can upset the hormonal system and thyroid. With the FDA stating that antibacterial products are no better for cleaning it is obvious that using eco-friendly products that do not contain antibacterial agents for cleaning the mattress is a better solution.

10: Less Costly

With so many cleaning products on the market, cleaning the household can get costly. By making your own eco-friendly cleaning solutions you will have a comfortable clean mattress without the added cost of an additional cleaning product.
