New Cleaning Technology and Products You Need In Your Home

Research done by Stanford University has found that there is a direct link with having a dirty house and levels of stress and anxiety. When your living space is dirty, the brain produces more cortisol causing a raise in blood pressure, making us feel anxious and depressed. This is why it is important to clean your home regularly. Fortunately there is some great technology that can not only make cleaning easier for you, but also help save the planet.

When you use conventional cleaning sprays, not all of the cleaning liquid ends up on the surface that you are cleaning – some of this ends up in the air that you breathe as a mist. This pollutes the air and can also be hazardous, particularly those people with respiratory issues. Smart dispensers focus the direction of sanitizers and cleaning liquids so that they end up just where they need to be. Using eco-friendly cleaning materials can also help to reduce the amount of harmful CO2 gasses that end up in the atmosphere. A mixture of water, lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda makes a very effective cleaning spray that can be used as an alternative to bleach. This can be put in a smart dispenser to help sanitize your home.

Robot vacuums have been on the market for many years – products like the Roomba and the Eufy are extremely popular and affordable. There is some great new robot tech available however, that will continue to simplify the jobs that we don’t want to do. Ecovac Robotics have brought out Winbot – the window cleaning robot. This comes in various different sizes so that it is suitable for both large and small windows. iRobot is now producing robot mops that work using a similar technology to the vacuum cleaner. The Braava Jets will help to remove stains from your rugs, flooring and carpets too. If you have a bigger budget, the Laundroid is a new robot that will fold your laundry for you. If only it would put the clothes away in the right drawer afterwards.

A fatberg is made up of oil, grease, fat and other matter that we flush down the toilet every single day. One of the largest fatbergs in America was discovered in the sewers of Detroit – it was 100 feet long and 6 feet tall. Not only does the matter we flush down the toilet cause major problems for the environment, it also causes blockages in the pipes and drainage system at home. You can now use bioactive toilet paper to help with this. The toilet paper contains non-pathogenic bacteria that helps to break down organic matter in pipes and septic tanks. This reduces blockages and odors at home, as well as helping to prevent environmental issues like fatbergs.

Cleaning your home doesn’t have to be a chore, there is some great new tech and products that can help with this. From robot dusters to smart dispensers, your home will be clean and pristine in no time.
