Safe, Eco Cleaning with White Magic

I’ll admit I don’t often stop to think about what chemicals have gone into the cleaning products we use on our house and home. Cleaning products have become so mainstream and it’s easy to just get used to them being around, despite all the surfaces I clean regularly that my little boy and toddler come into contact with. It wasn’t until I read the ECO Clean label that I stopped to think more about the products I use on a daily basis and what implications they might have on my family’s health or the environment. According to greenchoices.org, chemicals in daily household cleaning products pollute the delicate ecosystems, entering the environment via streams and rivers. The wide spread use of palm oil is also a big concern as huge areas of forests are being taken down, which are the homes of many endangered species. Deforestation also increases greenhouse gas emissions. Thankfully, White Magic ECO Clean sprays are made without any harsh chemicals, are palm oil free, chlorine free, ammonia free, biodegradable, safe for marine life and septic systems. This makes them ideal for home cleaning, particularly for those who suffer allergies from cleaning chemicals as well as making them great for boat cleaning too. I have the 500ml Eco Clean Cookware Spray, but in fact I have used it around the kitchen, on the stove range, in corners and on my wooden cabinets and table. I have found that it works just as well as any other household cleaner I’ve used. Using plant based ingredients and all natural citrus oil makes it perfect for cleaning and freshening. It is perfect for cleaning your valuable cookware in the safest and most non-abrasive way. The White Magic Coconut Bristle brush is made from all natural coconut palm bristles, which will not scratch your surfaces. These bristles are also naturally resistant to oil, making this the perfect brush to clean up pots and pans with stubborn burn marks and grease stuck to the bottom. The brush easily rinses clean under water, making it more hygienic than other brushes and sponges which tend to hold food residue. The brush cleans glassware and delicate china very well. The hole in the middle is for cleaning utensils. Cleaning my Staub French Oven I like using these products because I know my family is kept safe and away from exposure to harsh chemicals. I also really like knowing I’m doing my little part for the environment every day. White Magic also are proud supporters of Asthma Australia, an organisation that provides support and information to people that suffer from asthma and raises money for research to better improve methods for managing this condition.
