As climate change increasingly impacts our planet, many are seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint, starting at home. One effective step is switching to green cleaning products and services. At Cleaning Buddha, our commitment to eco-friendly cleaning goes beyond maintaining your home—we also focus on improving air quality. We contribute 1% to Frontier, which manages a portfolio of climate initiatives, supporting a range of innovators dedicated to fostering global change in the climate sector.

What’s the Link Between Eco-Friendly Cleaning and Climate Change?

Climate change is driven largely by the excess of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere. Since the pre-industrial era, CO₂ levels have risen by nearly 50%, largely due to human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. Many are unaware that even household cleaning products can contribute to this issue.

Traditional cleaning products are made using petrochemicals that release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which not only reduce air quality but also increase the carbon emissions linked to their production and use. These chemicals can be harmful to your health and the environment.

Choosing green cleaning products is a simple, effective way to reduce your carbon footprint. At Cleaning Buddha, we use only eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are plant-based, biodegradable, and free from harmful chemicals, ensuring a safer environment for your family—and the planet.

How Does 280 Earth Remove CO₂ From the Atmosphere?

Frontiers' collaboration with 280 Earth takes this commitment to fighting climate change a step further. 280 Earth is a climate technology company that employs Direct Air Capture (DAC) to pull CO₂ directly from the atmosphere. Their pilot facility in The Dalles, Oregon, captures 500 tons of CO₂ annually, equivalent to the emissions of 100 cars. This innovative project repurposes a former timber site to clean up legacy emissions while utilizing waste heat to minimize energy consumption and generate fresh water.

Every ton of CO₂ removed by 280 Earth represents a measurable reduction in carbon emissions, making a meaningful contribution to the fight against climate change. By choosing Cleaning Buddha, a company committed to giving back through our 1% pledge to climate initiatives, you’re also supporting the development of sustainable technologies like those used by 280 Earth.

Is Eco-Friendly Cleaning Really Effective?

Is eco-friendly cleaning as effective as traditional cleaning products? This is a common question we hear—and the answer is a resounding yes!

While eco-friendly products avoid harsh chemicals, they’re just as powerful in removing dirt, grime, and bacteria. Many plant-based ingredients have natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, making them highly effective at maintaining a healthy home. At Cleaning Buddha, we’ve tested and selected the best eco-friendly cleaning products that offer both power and peace of mind.

There’s also a misconception that eco-friendly cleaning services are more expensive than conventional cleaning. In reality, eco-friendly services like ours are competitively priced, offering you the chance to maintain a healthy home without breaking the bank. Plus, by choosing green cleaning, you’re making an investment in a healthier planet—one that benefits everyone.
