Now providing Green
& Standard Domestic Cleaning Services
At Raquel's Home Services, we care deeply about the environment and your well-being.
That's why we offer Eco-Friendly Cleaning / Green Cleaning services using natural cleaning agents as an alternative option to our standard domestic cleaning service using regular household cleaning products in the Northern Rivers region that utilise steam mops, steam cleaning tools, and natural products such as essential oils such as eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, tea tree, clove, patchouli, orange, cedar, sage, lemongrass, and lemon myrtle, as well as white and apple cider vinegar, borax, and bi-carb soda (we don't use bicarb and vinegar mixed together, but sequentially to ensure both agents retain their cleaning properties). Our passion for eco cleaning services and your well-being are at the core of every cleaning service in the Northern Rivers area that we provide.
Our Eco Cleaning services in the Northern Rivers region extend to Lismore, Ballina, Byron Bay, Evans Head, Goonelabah, Lennox Head, Murwillumbah, and surrounding areas, and are priced competitively the same as our regular cleaning services, ensuring you enjoy a pristine environment without stretching your budget and compromising on sustainability, or if you have special needs for chemical free cleaning. Learn more about your options by contacting us today to tailor a cleaning package specific to your needs.
The Unpleasant Reality of Mainstream Cleaning Supplies and Avoiding Harmful Chemicals
Maintaining a clean and inviting home is a universal desire. However, this goal shouldn’t come at the expense of your well-being. Ensuring that the products you use are gentle on both your health and the environment is crucial.
Many commercial cleaning products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can contaminate indoor air and lead to various health issues, such as skin irritation and allergic reactions. Beyond these immediate effects, exposure to VOCs can also result in headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Thankfully, there’s a safer option available. Opting for green cleaning products allows you to achieve cleanliness without jeopardizing your family’s health.
By choosing eco-friendly alternatives, you can achieve the same level of cleanliness without exposing yourself to harmful chemicals. Simple ingredients like baking soda and vinegar can serve as effective substitutes for commercial cleaners, safeguarding your family’s health while also being budget-friendly.
Regardless of the cleaning products you use, proper ventilation is essential. Opening windows and running a fan for at least 30 minutes post-cleaning can help dissipate harsh odors and circulate fresh air.
If you’d like to learn more about the advantages of Green Cleaning for a healthier household without compromising on cleaning effectiveness, and explore academic studies endorsing the effectiveness of natural cleaning products against typical household bacteria, fungi, and even methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (a superbug commonly found in hospitals), you can also click here.
“Constant exposure to these chemicals[Regular household cleaning chemicals] can create a build up in our bodies, which can lead to some pretty scary health defects including weakened immunity, hormonal imbalances, reduced fertility and an increased risk of cancer.” – From article “Is Scotchgard Safe?” at https://au.protectmeproducts.co/blogs/learn-more/is-scotchgard-safe
“Investigations performed by Zouhir et al. demonstrated lemongrass essential oil can eradicate the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in vitro (Zouhir et al., 2016).”
“Remarkably, lemongrass EOs completely inhibited all MRSA[Methicillin Resistant Staphycoccus Aureus] growth on the plate. Lemon myrtle, Mountain savory, Cinnamon bark and Melissa EOs showed a significant inhibition.” (Zouhir et al., 2016).
“Topical tea tree oil regimens show similar efficacy to standard treatments for decolonizing the body from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus” (Kairey et al., 2023).
“The results demonstrated that eugenol[Clove Essential Oil] could effectively inhibit the growth of S. aureus and E.coli, and is therefore a potential natural antibacterial agent for controlling foodborne diseases induced by S. aureus and E.” (Jingwen et al., 2023).
“Lemon myrtle oil was shown to possess significant antimicrobial activity against the organisms Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Aspergillus niger, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Propionibacterium acnes comparable to its major component-citral.” (Hayes AJ, Markovic B., 2002).
