Do you have a furry friend playing and sleeping on your floors? Or a baby crawling around? Or even just yourself? And maybe a partner?
It is so important to regularly clean your floors; especially, if you wear shoes in your home. Dirt, viruses, molds, bacteria, endospores, PFAS all settle on your floors.
According to research study done by the National Resources Defense Council, 45 hormone-disrupting chemicals are found in everyday household dust. These chemicals have also been linked to health hazards including cancer and reproductive toxicity.
Pets and babies - who often put their hands/paws in their mouths - are not only exposed to all of the dirt and environmental toxins on your floors, but also to all of the toxic chemicals (hormone disrupting, carcinogens, etc) that are in your run of the mill floor cleaners.
This post is all about non toxic floor cleaner.
Tools For Non Toxic Floors
Laundry detergent is often filled with toxic (endocrine disrupting) chemicals as well. Here are the best favorite nontoxic laundry detergents.
1) Vacuum
HEPA sealed systems highly recommended
Why Is A HEPA Vacuum Superior?
Vacuuming is one the most effective ways to remove dirt, toxins and other irritants from your home; however, basic vacuums exhaust the very dirt and particles that you just attempted to cleanup, which leaves your home filled with just as many toxins and irritants as before and leaves you with far worse air quality since all of those irritants have been redispersed throughout your air. Have you ever experienced a dusty smell after vacuuming? That is leaked dirt, dust, pet dander, allergens and other pollutants that you just tried to clean circulating through your air.
If you or anyone in your home has allergies, asthma or other environmental sensitivities, a HEPA vacuum is a non toxic cleaning essential. HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestance) vacuums have the the finest filters (so they are able to trap the tiniest particulars) and ensure that you have no particular leak out. They remove at least 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 micrometers (or three millionths of a meter) in size - which are often the most toxic and hazardous dusts in your environment.
#1 Nilfisk GM-80
This is a highly recommended vacuum that has a four-stage filtration system (one stage of which is a HEPA filtration) that is used in mold, lead and asbestos removal by professionals. It is compliment equipment for the EPA’s Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting rule and works to dislodge heavy lead particulates that may have accumulated in carpet fibers overtime. This is the creme-de-la-creme of HEPA vacuums and the commercial level durability is built to last several generations. A dream future purchase!

This is cult favorite among home cleaning staff and for good reason! It is easy to use, store and replace the filter. We have this and truly love it!

This is the best affordable option for a HEPA vacuum. It is an upright vacuum, which some people prefer!

Microfiber clothes and mops are a must have non toxic cleaning product. They remove 99% of bacteria with just water due to their magical characteristics - the fibers having a 4x more surface area than cotton, the electrostatic charge attracts and holds dirt, grease and bacteria - as well as the antimicrobial properties, which are effective against bacteria, fungi and some viruses.
