When it's time to clean the house, it's already a task and should be kept as simple as possible. At Bayes, we saw a large need for an improvement in furniture cleaning products and we answered the call. 

We have developed a Pro Series of cleaning products meant for cleaning, protecting and maintaining your furniture.  It's been a couple years in coming but has produced a line of products that are highly effective, environmentally responsible and safe for use in the home for the family, pets, plants and leather, microfiber and other multi-surfaces. 

Today we'd love to focus on the furniture polish we've created. It's a very simple, eco-friendly alternative to other more time consuming, complicated and often toxic options. We knew you needed a one step furniture polish from satin finish wood to veneer and high gloss, even synthetic and natural stone. 

Use is simple, as demonstrated in the video. You simply spray onto the needed area, wipe gently with a microfiber towel and the polish with the unused dry side of the microfiber towel. Simple right? What's even better is that not only does it protect and clean the furniture, but due to it's natural anti-static properties, it will now resist new dust from landing on the furniture, keeping it in polished condition for even longer!

Our new line of Bayes cleaning products is totally safe for everyone in the home, while leaving no odor, no residue or even build up. Each time you use it, it takes the last application away with it. 

That's a smart one-step furniture cleaner!

There are a lot of choices out there when it comes to counter top options and the information can be overwhelming.  You want something that is environmentally conscious and able to stand the different stressors that kitchen use usually involves. But today, we want to encourage you to choose granite counter tops.

Here are three reasons why granite counter tops are a great choice for kitchens everywhere. 

1) Durable - Granite Countertops are one of the best types of countertops for any home. The abuse from children, heat or other elements found in the kitchen or bathroom will not be able to harm your granite countertops. Granite is a hard, durable surface that has already survived many of the elements on earth today. It is very hard to scratch granite and granite will not burn.

2) Uniqueness - Granite Countertops can easily update or freshen the look of any home. Each granite countertop slab is unlike the next. Although there are many granite slabs of the same granite color -- slab color can still vary in pattern, lightness or darkness of color, or veining. Your granite countertops will be unique to your home, easily matching your decor and being the envy of your guests.

3) Affordable - With us, we are not just a granite countertop installer -- we import, distribute, custom fabricate and install the granite countertops for your kitchen. This entire process cuts out any middle man or subcontractor, allowing us to give you the most discounts on your granite countertops. Granite Countertops used to cost many thousand dollars for just one simple kitchen remodel, but as the times have changed, the average granite countertops kitchen costs around or under $2000. 

On top of that, we at Bayes, have made it so that these great counter tops are incredibly easy to clean! Our organic counter top cleaner both efficiently cleans and gently conditions the counter tops to keep it in the best condition possible.  We hope you found this helpful and can't wait to be a part of your green home!

5 Simple Tips to Making Your Home More Eco-Friendly!

Green living isn't as intimidating as you might think!  There are many simple ways to make your home more eco-friendly and today, we'd like to share just 5 of them with you!  Be on the lookout for more! 

• Don't heat an empty house! During the winter, turn down your thermostat to 68 degrees F when you're home and 55 degrees F at night and while you're away.

• Turn off the lights when not needed, even as you go from room to room in the course of your day (or evening) According to ENERGY STAR, as much as 20 percent of a home’s energy use comes from light bulbs. Using a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) requires about 75 percent less energy than incandescent, but lights that are turned off save the most energy of all.

• Wash clothes in cold water (and honestly, the new cold-water detergents do the job just fine) According to the US Department of Energy, a washing machine uses up to 90 percent of its energy to simply heat the water in a laundry load, and the higher the temperature, the greater the cost to you and the environment. Keeping your cool will save energy and make your clothes last longer, by using cold water.

• Clean the lint filter in your gas or electric clothes dryer, to realize big savings. Tests have shown that keeping the lint trap clean may provide savings of up to $34 in energy costs each year (ENERGY STAR). 

• Better yet, use a clothesline or clothes ‘tree’ and keep the dryer shut off. An outdoor clothesline costs only a few dollars. You might also want to consider buying an indoor drying rack, so you can keep up your energy efficient ways even when it’s raining. 

Start with those simple tips and you'll quickly be on your way to a more green way of living! As a bonus, even your energy bills will be lower!  We do what we can because we care for you and the environment.  This is why we at Bayes have created our quality line of organic, non-toxic cleaning supplies!  Have a look, get in touch and let us know how we can make your home a cleaner place!

The Benefits of Organic Cleaning

The phrase “organic cleaning” gets thrown around a lot, but what exactly constitutes organic cleaning? Green, or organic, cleaning is simply cleaning your house with toxin free cleaning products; free from chemicals that can harm yourself and your family. Organic cleaning products can be made on your own or purchased from a store. One of organic cleaning products best features is that they are held to much higher standards than traditional cleaning supplies. In addition, they are much better for your home and for the environment.

Benefits of Organic Cleaning Products

The use of non organic cleaning supplies has runoff containing dangerous chemicals that, when drained, go into the ocean and can wreak havoc on the ocean life and their eco system. The chemicals contain phosphates which act as water softeners. When these minerals go down into the various drains they can actually increase the growth rate of algae and can pollute the water for the fish and others living in the ocean. Non organic cleaning supplies also often contain chlorine which can contain irritants to various sea animals and can stay in the environment for many years. Finally, many organic cleaning products come in biodegradable bottles and containers. This is opposite to non organic products, whose containers are not biodegradable and rot in landfills for hundreds of years.

Some non organic cleaning supplies contain chemicals in the ingredients that can cause skin and eye irritation. This can be extremely harmful to children and even adults.

These toxins can make your family sick and can reduce the immune system of anyone who comes into contact with them. Organic cleaning supplies provide a healthier alternative to traditional cleaning supplies and will not contain harmful solvents that damage the body.

Where to Order Organic Cleaning Products?

There are many online stores and companies that are dedicated to providing healthier alternatives to everyday cleaning products you and your household will use. These products often do not cost more than regular cleaning supplies you purchase from the grocery store. However, they are completely non-toxic cleaners and can prevent sickness in your home.

By using organic products, you will be helping keep your children and family as safe as possible. In addition, you will protect the environment from the thousands of harmful byproducts that regular products contain. Organic cleaning supplies are usually not much more expensive than regular cleaning supplies. However, the numerous benefits far outweigh the little added expense.

Top Ingredients:

Vinegar

White vinegar is effective at dissolving grease and makes a great surface cleaner in the kitchen and bathroom. Vinegar works well because of its acidic nature and antibacterial effect. Japanese research found that the bactericidal activity of vinegar increased as the temperature of its solution increased, underscoring the need for double benefit of warm cleaning solutions. Mix 1 cup of vinegar with water in a bucket or spray bottle and use it to clean windows and mirrors to toilets and floors.

Baking Soda

Baking soda deodorizes and has an abrasive quality that out shines toxic, powdered cleansers. Use on surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen to remove stains or even clean the inside of a messy oven. Adding salt can provide a boost in scrubbing power.

Lemon Juice

The inclusion of lemon in many commercially available cleaning products is one rare area where they got it right! Lemon juice kills mold, cuts through grease, and leaves a streak-free shine. The applied food science laboratory in Lincoln Nebraska examined the ability for lemon oil to inhibit mold growth by applying a coating of lemon juice and vinegar to roast beef. This was found to support prevention of spore germination and outgrowth. Combine lemon juice with vinegar or olive oil to make compound cleaning products that work harder and provide a natural scent.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide has a bubbling action that is amazing with hard-to-clean situations. Fill a spray bottle with a HP and water mixture, keep it near the laundry area as it can be a great spot cleaner.

Olive Oil

Polishing wood with with olive oil and lemon juice moisturizes it and provides amazing shine with a fresh scent. Blend 1 cup of olive oil and 1/2 cup of lemon juice in a spray bottle, mist onto a soft cloth and polish wood furniture the natural way.                                                                              (reposted with gratitude from the Global Healing Center)
