In my earlier posts, I have noted how we all go overboard with cleaning our homes to make them germ free. In our quest to kill germs and viruses, we use products that are high in harmful chemicals. These chemicals release fumes into the air that are dangerous to our children and our families. Poor ventillation of air due to closed windows in our homes only make the problem worse. We also harm our planet by flushing toxic chemicals into our water system.
Simple cleaning products that can do a wonderful job include baking soda, vinegar and water. That is usually all you need...
Please check the link below from Environmental Working Group. They are a non-profit organization that does a wonderful job researching different products. They have published test results for products ranging from children's products to beauty products to sunscreens to household cleaning products. Let us get educated about the options so we can all make sound decisions for our families.
