When it comes to cleaning around your home, you’ve probably picked up on some wasteful cleaning habits without even realizing it. And we’ll be the first to tell you: you aren’t alone. Here are our top 3 cleaning tips to help you reduce waste:  1. Instead of buying new rags or brushes, use old t-shirts and toothbrushes. Simply cut up your t-shirts into smaller strips. 2. Instead of buying dryer sheets, make the switch to reusable wool dryer balls. They accomplish the same results, without the additional waste and harmful chemicals. 3. Purchase your cleaning supplies in bulk, and refill your containers to cut down on plastic and waste. #HutchisonMaintenance #CleaningTips #ProfessionalCleaning #CleaningCompany

Pro Tip: Opt for microfiber cleaning cloths! They're not only effective in capturing dirt and grime but also eco-friendly and reusable. Using microfiber can significantly reduce waste and chemical usage, making it a smart choice for sustainable cleaning practices. 🌱♻️ Let's assume 💭 If a typical cleaning routine involves using 5 disposable wipes or cloths per week, that's approximately 260 wipes or cloths per year (5 wipes/cloths * 52 weeks). By using a microfiber cloth instead of disposable wipes, you could potentially prevent the disposal of those 260 wipes or cloths per year! Using microfiber cloths exclusively in your cleaning routine can prevent hundreds of disposable wipes from entering landfills each year. It's a small change that makes a big difference for our planet. 🌍♻️ #ProTip #SustainableCleaning #Microfiber #TheNuGroup
