If you want to become even more sustainable, make your own cleaning products and cosmetics for yourself, your flatmates, or friends and family.
Every year, around 530,000 tonnes of chemicals from detergents and cleaning agents are washed into the wastewater by private households in Germany. A third of these are toxic. This has been determined by NABU. It recommends avoiding particularly aggressive agents such as pipe cleaners or oven sprays. Four cleaning agents are sufficient: All-purpose cleaner, dishwashing liquid, bathroom cleaner, and scouring agent. Products with the "EU Ecolabel" mark environmentally friendly and health-friendly detergents and cleaning agents. When washing, pay attention to the correct dosage, do not use fabric softener, fill the washing machine properly and select the eco-program - this is how you achieve sustainability in everyday life. If you want to become even more sustainable, make your own cleaning products and cosmetics for yourself, your flatmates, or friends and family.
