In Christchurch, families and pets benefit from enzyme-based, biodegradable, and non-toxic cleaners. For example, Bio-Zyme produces NZ‐made enzyme cleaning formulas that safely break down oils without harsh chemicals. Citrus Based Cleaner is locally formulated without ammonia, chlorine, or phosphates—safe for surfaces and gentle around animals. Avoid cleaners with bleach, ammonia, benzalkonium chloride or strong fragrances. (crewcare.co.nz)
Most of us want to keep our homes as clean as possible, but the ingredients in many popular cleaning products are questionable, to say the least. Environmental concerns have pushed plenty of families to seek safer cleaning materials that still do an effective job.
