Natural Cleaning Products

By Belinda McArthur

It has been shown that household cleaning products that contain an abundance of chemicals can be a severe risk to children and pets. This is mostly due to the fact that children and pets can often find access to chemical products like air fresheners and laundry products, which in turn causes them to come in contact with them. Contact with these chemicals can be as simple as touching a surface which has been freshly cleaned with the chemicals. This can often result in poisoning, or even death.

Natural cleaning products are not only safer than other chemical products, but are safer for those who suffer from immune dysfunctions, MS, fibromyalgia, and who are sensitive to chemicals. These products can help them feel better and prevent disease relapse. Most of the ingredients in natural products are safer for those prone to allergies as the ingredients are non-allergenic.

Whatever the reasons, natural cleaning products are a great alternative. They are made from all natural, wholesome ingredients, so they are completely safe, even if ingested by small children or pets. They use natural botanicals, so they always smell wonderful. Finally, they will often clean your home much better than chemical products! You will be amazed at how all your surfaces gleam! (Read on …)

Natural Cleaning Products: A Simpler, Safer, (and Cheaper) Alternative
By Joshua Dunn

Natural cleaning has become a priority for us. Next time you go to the grocery store, take a slow stroll down the cleaning isle. And yes, it takes up a whole isle now. Pick up any of the products and read the ingredients.

Do you know what any of those ingredients are?

We know we don’t.

Our very basic rule for natural cleaning is that if we don’t know what an ingredient is, we don’t buy it and bring it into our home. This goes for food, cleaning products, anything. If it’s a word we can’t pronounce, chances are it’s a chemical and it probably isn’t good for us. Ever wonder how people in the 1920’s kept their homes clean? Did they do it with chemicals? Nope. They used homemade natural cleaning products, many of which are probably in your kitchen or pantry right now. (Read on …)

DESCRIPTION:

Dilute with warm or cold water. Start by using 1/4 cup per gallon of water or 1 tablespoon per quart of water. Adjust by using more or less cleaner to suit personal need. Use on any surface not harmed by water. Ideal for use on tile floors, marble, terrazzo and walls. Will not film or streak as it cleans, brightens and deodorizes surfaces.

Ozone Treated Water (for purification), Sodium Citrate (a reaction of citric acid from fermented corn and sodium hydroxide), Citric Acid (from fermented corn), Non-Ionic Detergent (from corn derived ethanol and natural oils), D-Limonene (pesticide residue free, distilled from orange rind oil), Amphoteric Detergent (from coconut and/or palm kernel oil), Amine Oxide (from coconut, palm kernel, and or/soy bean oil).

Most household cleaning products contain toxic chemicals that are known to cause serious diseases like cancer. Because we use these products to clean, they are washed down our sink drains, flushed down our toilets, and thrown info landfills or incinerated upon disposal every day. This results in the release of their toxins into the environment which contributes to depletion of the ozone layer and global warming, pollutes our groundwater, contaminates our soil, and harms our plant and animal life. (Read on …)

If you’re left wondering why these toxic chemicals are allowed into our homes without adequate warning about the true dangers they actually pose to you, your family, your pets, and the environment… you’re not alone. We are not being protected in the way that we should be! Here are some surprising facts:

• The government has very limited power to regulate and require proper testing of household cleaning products.
• Products that kill 50% of lab animals can still get labeled “non-toxic”.
• Out of 17,000 household chemicals, only about 30% have been adequately tested and less than 10% have been tested on the nervous system.
• No law requires manufactures to list the exact ingredients on the package label.

Natural cleaning products are substances used to clean, disinfect, and/or deodorize which have natural ingredients. These cost-effective, earth-friendly alternatives are becoming more popular as people begin to understand the dangers of the potentially lethal chemicals contained in most commercial cleaning products. The use of natural cleaning products is increasingly important because most traditional cleaning products will eventually make their way into our water, air, soil, and food supply where they have the potential to cause significant and serious harm to humans, animals, and plants.

Recent studies revealed that most households and offices contain over sixty-three (63) hazardous products that together contain hundreds of dangerous chemicals. It’s also reported that the avergare American uses approximately forty (40) pounds of toxic household cleaning products every year. Most of these traditional household cleaning products contain dangerous ingredients such as neurotoxins, carcinogens, allergens, central nervous system depressants, heavy metals, and other agents. These substances are known to cause or contribute to cancer, respiratory problems, reproductive abnormalities, allergic reactions, and behavioral problems. Exposure to these toxins pose an immediate risk to you and your family by way of accidential ingestion, inhalation, and skin absorption. They also pose a very serious risk to our environment, animals, and plants, because they are poured down the sink, flushed down the toilet, and thrown in the trash every single day.
