What Are the Best Cleaning Tools Used and Recommended by Environmentally-Friendly Professional Cleaners?

A recent study conducted in Canadian homes shows that air quality decreased considerably by simply cleaning with popular cleaning products. At Dhyana Cleaning, we follow green cleaning best practices and use premium eco-friendly products, because we genuinely care about your health and well-being. With over ten years of providing green cleaning service to our Toronto clients, we have used many different products, and below are some of the best eco-friendly cleaning tools and supplies we use when cleaning homes and condos.

Microfiber cloths and mops

When it comes to dusting, cleaning and polishing, we highly recommend using microfiber cloths and mops. Microfiber cloths and mops are naturally designed to remove harmful bacteria and viruses without the need to use harmful cleaning chemicals. You can actually use them with just water. This is because very tiny fibers (hence the name ‘microfibers’) are able to attach themselves to each speck of dirt and carrying it away when you wipe or mop on a surface. Here’s an article on the science behind “How microfiber cleaning cloths work” if you wish to learn more.

Miele and backpack vacuums with true HEPA filtration

After trying many different vacuums to clean homes and condos in Toronto, we chose Miele vacuums with true HEPA filtration for their efficiency and effectiveness. The multi-filtered vacuums capture particles as tiny as 1/210th the diameter of a human hair. They are also quite compact, allowing our cleaning teams to take them on public transit - part of effort to being a green cleaner and reduce our environmental footprint.

EPA-registered cleaner-disinfectant

For cleaning and disinfecting, we use OPTIM 33TB by Sci Can, the only cleaner-disinfectant that is registered with the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency. OPTIM 33TB is a hydrogen peroxide-based cleaning-disinfectant that cleans well, kills germs quickly, is safe to use and safe for the environment. It is so effective as a disinfectant that it even kills Norwalk-like viruses, the polio virus and even the common cold virus, all known to be resistant to many surface disinfectants.

Cleaner Concentrate

We also use DoTerra's On Guard Cleaner Concentrate -  a natural cleaner made of premium grade essential oils. Not only is this cleaner environmentally friendly and super effective - its an IMMUNITY BOOSTER. So when our cleaners breath it in, it actually improves their health - quite the opposite of what synthetic chemicals are doing which breaks down their immunity (as well as the client's). And best of all, this cleaner smells divine as well.
