# 2017 Cleaning Strategies |
|
Cleaning Strategies is an investigation into the use and meaning of the word ‘clean’. Casting a critical eye on the unsustainable cleaning industry that fabricates its tools from various chemical agents, this project demonstrates the potential of natural resources. On an industrial scale, various local raw materials are eliminated and ‘cleaned away’ without a critical assessment of their possible use. Cleaning Strategies explores the potential of using these wasted raw materials to create local, sustainable cleaning products and tools.
