Natural cleaning solutions: A green revolution
Sustainability concerns affect nearly every industry and business on the planet. Brett Stansfield, Bioshield’s Director, says many in the cleaning industry are leading the way when it comes to making more sustainable choices.
Going green isn’t just good for the environment – it’s increasingly good for business. That sustainability drive is alive and kicking in the cleaning industry, with some incredible work being done to create and champion natural cleaning solutions.
To my mind, it’s no surprise that the sustainable cleaning industry is booming, as there are so many benefits to business, consumers and the environment.
Redefining resource use and reducing carbon footprints
One of the biggest benefits to using the right natural cleaning solutions is their incredible impact on resource conservation and reducing your carbon footprint.
Unlike traditional cleaning agents that rely on extracting significant raw materials, Bioshield’s solutions harness the power of natural waste materials. Turning waste into new solutions is the Gold Standard for sustainability in the cleaning industry – after all, what’s more sustainable than using a byproduct from a natural resource?
Bioshield’s cleaning solutions are created using a byproduct from the juice industry – more specifically, they’re made by using leftover pith and peel from oranges alongside natural bioflavonoids and organic acids.
By using waste from other industries, we minimise virgin resource extraction and prevent any excess waste, becoming part of the circular economy in the process.

Not only that, but green cleaning solutions like Bioshield’s are highly-effective, versatile cleaners that can be formulated for a range of applications. This means they can be used across a wide range of industries and situations, reducing the need for multiple cleaning solutions. With each spray effective for 30 days, using natural solutions ensures that less product is required and re-cleaning is less frequent.
Reducing the synthetic chemical
footprint While it is important to highlight the benefits of using natural cleaning solutions, it’s just as important to note that by adopting sustainable cleaning solutions, you’re actively choosing not to use traditional chemical cleaners.
Bioshield and similar companies have developed cutting- edge formulas that are free from harsh chemicals, such as chlorine and ammonia. Historically, these chemicals have been a large part of cleaning, largely due to their effectiveness. However, that effectiveness comes at a price, as the harsh chemicals and volatile organic compounds (also known as VOCs) can adversely affect human health, with some being suspected or proven carcinogens. Not only can these chemicals create hazardous gases in the work environment, they can also burn your skin if you come into contact with them.
Therefore, you need to prepare the proper PPE when they’re being used to clean, adding another layer of cost and time to your cleaning process. Natural cleaning solutions like Bioshield’s can be used without any PPE,
