There are few downsides to using concentrated cleaning products, especially if you want to reduce your carbon footprint. Using concentrated products is generally a money saver, and the environmental effects are even greater.
If the product is manufactured with less water, less paper, ink and plastic, then less ends up in landfills and more space is freed up in shipping. More product can be shipped at a time to distributors and less fuel is needed to move the product. Less fuel being used means less emissions in the atmosphere and less greenhouse gas being produced. If you purchase concentrated cleaning products they will last longer, saving you trips to the grocery store. Eliminate the plastic bottle by purchasing hand soap and shampoo as a bar rather than as liquid. Laundry detergent is also available as a strip, packaged in a cardboard envelope.
You can also make your cleaning supplies last longer by just using the minimum amount that you need.
