At Look at Them Shine, we have made a conscious choice to use eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning products wherever possible. Here is why — and why it matters for you.
The problem with conventional cleaning products
Many conventional cleaning products contain harsh chemicals — bleach, ammonia, phosphates, and synthetic fragrances — that can cause respiratory irritation, skin reactions, and lasting harm to aquatic ecosystems when they wash down the drain.
In homes with children, pets, or anyone with asthma or allergies, these chemicals can be particularly problematic.
What makes a product eco-friendly?
Genuinely eco-friendly cleaning products are:
- Biodegradable — they break down naturally without harming ecosystems
- Free from harsh synthetic chemicals
- Not tested on animals
- Packaged in recyclable or minimal packaging
- Effective — because a product that does not clean well is not a green solution
Does eco-friendly mean less effective?
No. Modern green cleaning technology has come a very long way. The products we use deliver excellent results on grease, limescale, soap scum, and bacteria. In many cases, they outperform the harsh chemical alternatives — and they do it without the fumes.
Better for your indoor air quality
Conventional cleaning products often leave residues and fumes in the air for hours after cleaning. Eco products are generally much lower in VOCs (volatile organic compounds), leaving your home smelling fresh and clean without the chemical smell that some people find overwhelming.
Our commitment
We are continually reviewing our product choices and looking for the most effective, lowest-impact options available. If you have specific requirements — fragrance-free, allergy-friendly, or a particular product you prefer — just let us know and we will accommodate you.
