I wasn’t a germaphobe until the pandemic hit. Suddenly my classroom had a daytime custodian cleaning with harsh, smelly chemicals. My nostrils and throat burned while I hacked into my mask. I started doing research and was thrilled to discover there’s another, more natural way to disinfect surfaces at home and at work. Hello, Natura Solutions cleaning products. Are you interested in how active plant-based enzymes and hydrogen peroxide (water and oxygen) combine with essential oils to create safe and effective cleaning products? Read on. 

The Shocking Truth About Disposable Wipes: 

I was surprised to find out that unless a disposable wipe is made from bamboo, it’s probably made from plastic polymer.  500 million big-brand disposable wipes end up in the landfill each year and are not decomposable or biodegradable.  Because bamboo wipes are made from natural fibers, they do both.  I’m now 100% team bamboo wipe—especially ones that use plant based enzymes, hydrogen peroxide and essential oils. 

Hello, Natura Solutions. What Do We Need To Know About Safe and Effective Cleaning? 

While I do like to use natural products, I also assume they’re not quite as effective as chemical-based ones. However, I find that Natura Solutions provide a deep and more natural clean that is safe for our own families and for the environment. 

I also love how simple the ingredients are. Natura Solutions uses plant based active enzymes, hydrogen peroxide (water and oxygen) and essential oils.  

How To Use: It’s important to note that deep cleaning requires two steps: wipe away organic material first and then disinfect. Because natural enzymes take a little longer to do their work, let the product sit for 5 minutes before wiping away. It works best with lukewarm water to break down organic stains. Be sure to store products at room temperature. 

Beware of Greenwashing!

Unfortunately, many brands are in the business of duping customers. This happens when they convince us that their products are good for us, when they actually contain carcinogens that aren’t easy for the Average Joe to find on the label.  Informed customers need to know where to look, and also how to understand ingredients. 

Surprisingly, fragrance is often used to hide a lot of nasty chemical based ingredients. There’s actually a difference between synthetic scents vs essential oils. It’s important to remember that just because it smells clean, doesn’t make it clean. It’s also helpful to take a look at the ‘Active Ingredients’ vs ‘Other’ on the label. The former are what companies want us to focus on, while the latter can be an easy place to hide the bad stuff. 

A good rule of thumb is to use natural enzyme based cleaners on organic stains. Chemicals are often corrosive to surfaces and skin. If a product breaks down chemical stains, it usually also leaves behind something that we don’t want.

What Makes Natura Solutions Different? 

I interviewed Natura Solutions’ David and Jennifer to get to know the company a little better. 

When I asked what their core values are, David didn’t skip a beat: “Trust, that we’re naturally based”. He continued, “It’s what’s inside that counts”. “We teach our own children trust and transparency, and we share this with everyone”. I like that, and share this sentiment. My students need to know, like, and trust me before they’re able to learn from me.
