Sustainable and ecological wipes: A small gesture that makes a big difference


Today, in a world where sustainability has become a priority, every little bit counts. At Lima Eco, we believe it's possible to reduce your ecological footprint while adding a touch of Canadian pride to your everyday life. Our new dishwashing wipes, proudly displaying Canadian emblems such as the moose, beaver, otter and maple leaf, are much more than just a cleaning tool. They're designed to be durable, ecological and beautiful all at the same time.

In this blog, we'll explore why our wipes are an eco-friendly and economical choice, how they work, how to care for them, and some tips for using them in your home.

 

Why choose eco-friendly wipes?

The figures speak for themselves. The average household uses around 2600 sheets of paper towel per yearthe equivalent of 3 to 5 rolls per month. Not only does this represent a recurring expense, but also a massive production of waste. Our biodegradable wipes are a sustainable alternative to these disposable products. Not only are they reusable, they can also be composted at the end of their life, reducing the amount of waste produced.

Some striking statistics:

  • A roll of paper towels takes around 1 to 2 months to decompose in landfill sites.
  • Each Lima Eco wipe can replace up to 15 rolls of paper towels.
  • Our wipes can be washed up to 200 timesextending their life and reducing your ecological footprint.

 

How to use our wipes every day

Our wipes are designed to be versatile and practical. Thanks to their absorption capacity (they can absorb up to 15 times their weight in liquid), they're perfect for a variety of household tasks. Here are a few ideas on how to incorporate our wipes into your daily routine:

  1. Wiping kitchen surfaces Whether it's spills on the counter, stains on the stove or drying dishes, our wipes are perfect for everyday use in the kitchen.
  2. Cleaning the bathroom Use them to wipe mirrors, sinks and even taps. They leave your surfaces shiny and streak-free.
  3. Dust wipes These wipes are ideal for catching dust on wood or glass furniture. You can dampen them slightly for more effective cleaning.
  4. Car wash : Because of their high absorbency and durability, they are excellent for drying your car after a wash, or for wiping the interior.
  5. Cleaning electronic devices Soft and absorbent, they're perfect for cleaning screens without leaving scratches.


Tips for caring for and washing your wipes

Maintaining our wipes is simple and requires little effort to keep them in excellent condition. Here's how to care for them to make them last as long as possible:

  1. After each use Rinse with hot water and leave to air-dry. This prevents the build-up of unpleasant odours and bacteria.
  2. Machine wash When your wipe needs a deep clean, simply place it in the washing machine with your usual detergent. You can also put it in the dishwasher for a quick cleaning cycle.
  3. Hand wash If you prefer to wash your wipes by hand, use hot, soapy water, then rinse thoroughly before drying.
  4. Avoid fabric softeners and chlorine These products can reduce the absorbency of your wipes. Opt for mild detergents without harsh chemicals.
  5. Drying Let them air-dry. They dry quickly, preventing the proliferation of bacteria. They can also be tumble-dried on low heat if you're in a hurry.

 

Durability and biodegradability

Our wipes are not only reusable, they're also 100% biodegradable. Once you've used your wipes for months (or even years), they can be composted instead of thrown in the garbage can. Unlike single-use products like paper towels, which end up in landfills, our wipes decompose naturally, without harming the environment.

The material of our wipes is a blend of cellulose and cotton, making them not only biodegradable but also incredibly strong. You can count on them to last for months before you need to replace them, helping to reduce your waste production and save money in the long run.

 

A few tips for cleaning with our wipes

  1. Stubborn stains on kitchen surfaces Moisten your wipe and add a little baking soda. Rub gently to remove stains without the need for harsh chemicals.
  2. Streak-free windows and mirrors For perfect cleaning, moisten your wipe with a little water and white vinegar. This will remove streaks and leave your windows shiny.
  3. Wiping stainless steel appliances : If your stainless steel appliances show fingerprints, use your wipe with a mixture of water and mild soap to make them spotless without damaging them.
