We always want our house to be sparkling clean and smelling fresh, but are you sure about the product that you always buy and utilize day after day? These products may have the potential of having harsh chemicals or toxins that can affect your health. Toxins that may lead to serious health disorders like asthma, allergies, decreasing of sperm counts, birth defects and even metal abnormalities, and the worst part, all kinds of cancers.
People often ask me how or what to do, let me share their questions and my humble answers to all of you
My friend Leona (a very beautiful devoted housewife) asked me what possible chemicals are there in these commercial products and why are they harmful?
Here are my answers:
Air sprays may have Phthalates (petroleum-base) and this can disrupt hormones.
Laundry detergents and dishwashers have Chlorine bleach, Sulfuric acid and Trisodium nitrilotriacitate. These chemicals are harmful to our environment and may cause deaths to fishes and our pets too,
Napthas and formaldehyde can be found in your furniture polishers. These are very harmful chemicals and a potential carcinogen (cancer-causing agents)
Harmful waste materials like butyl, cellosive, methylene chloride, petroleum distillates and ether type solvents contaminate air, soil and water,
Another question that you might be thinking is, how can I clean my home without using these products?
You might think it's impossible but its not, solutions are right there in your kitchen and you can even make your own natural cleaning product yourself. All you need are as follows:
Baking soda - the main ingredient and a perfect all purpose cleaner.
Vinegars - contains natural acids and a good disinfectant, can be used in almost all of cleaning situations like cutting grease, vinegar wipes and kill molds and mildew etc. so many to mention.
Borax - a natural mineral commonly used in cleaning, borax can remove stains and a good enhancer of soaps, it also prevents molds and odors.
Essential oils - can be used as freshener because of its aroma.
Lemon juice - Acidic substance that provides antibacterial and antiseptic for cleaning. Also, lemons can be used as laundry bleach and can also take away bad odors.
Salt - can be used as a cleaning agent by itself or combined with other substances, a paste of salt mixed with vinegars can clean tarnished brass or copper, can also be used to prevent kitchen sink from grease and eliminates odors too. Salt also drives away moths and ants (Natural Pesticides).
Now that you know more about these cleaning aids, you can start making your own cleaning products, it might take a while but it's worth doing and its fun!
