Natural Yard Cleaning Products

By Roland Stockwell


The backyard is probably not the busiest part of your household, but it still needs to be cleaned every once in a while. For instance, the plants may accumulate dust and dirt after a long time of exposure to the elements. You may also want to clean the backyard in order to get rid of pests. In the past, using pesticides is the way to go but, these days, we are all better off using natural pest control methods and backyard cleaning techniques in lieu of chemical-loaded pest control processes.

Aside from the ground itself, the backyard could also encompass a patio or a porch. When there is a need, you should prefer to use water and soap to clean the surfaces of your patio instead of traditional chemical-based cleaning solutions. The use of water as a cleaning solution is much more advantageous because it will preserve, for starters, the paint job on your walls. Chemicals, on the other hand, will eat away at the paint job causing it to flake away at a faster rate than usual. You would have to spend a lot of money as you would have to replace the paint more often than you like.

The need to use only water-based cleaning solutions applies also to furniture in your patio. You may think that chemical cleaners are more effective because they indeed get rid of dirt faster, but they also slowly damage the wood and even the metal of your furniture. In addition, their use also means the sun evaporates chemicals into the atmosphere where they could inflict damage to the environment. You can actually create your own cleaning solution using dishwashing soap, vinegar and warm water! This way, you can be sure that what you are using is safe in contrast to using chemical cleaning solutions.

Do you have fixtures in your backyard like a fish pond for koi, or perhaps a bath for the birds or a fountain? Having these in your backyard is never a bad idea, and is even beneficial as they could improve the value of the house. In addition, fishes are considered bringers of excellent fortune to the owner of the house. As for birds, wouldn't you find it cute to see them take a dip in the bird bath you made for them? The fountain is a must-have for any home as long as you have a space for it as it adds some semblance of elegance! However, you have to continually clean and replace the water in these because they can become breeding grounds for parasites like mosquitoes.

If you have any of those fixtures and you want a good solution for your cleaning needs, consider purchasing some natural products from Healthy Ponds. They are guaranteed to be totally free of chemicals. Instead all Healthy Ponds products utilize a mix of positive bacteria with naturally occurring enzymes that immediately work on the water upon deployment. In addition to being ecologically safe, the application process is very simple. Each product is either a biodegradable sphere that you just place in the fountain or koi pond or perhaps a small dispenser that contains a bacteria pack.

In addition, because they have zero percent chemical content, these products are safe for use with animals like birds and fish. They are also approved by veterinarians as safe around your pets.
