Chances are, many of the traditional cleaners in your home's cabinets contain potentially dangerous toxins that promote illness, fatigue, and disease...


"If your Home or Office is typical, it already has dozens of Cleaning and Personal Care Products that contain Harmful Chemicals. These Chemicals have the potential to Greatly Harm or even Kill your Children, your Pets and You, should they accidentally not be used with the utmost caution!"

Did you know this...

Recent studies have revealed that most households/offices contain over 63 hazardous products that together contain hundreds of harmful chemicals! These chemicals can promote illness, fatigue, and disease in all living things, as well as putting our environment at risk.

Look at these articles in the news!

Have you ever been literally driven out of your Bathroom Shower while using on of the most popular Tile Cleaners? 

You do have alternative choices...

These types of cleaners must contain strong chemicals in order to do the job. The job may get done but you are at risk from the strong vapors that are generated. By the time you have exited the bathroom the chemical vapors have entered your blood stream and are wrecking havoc with your health.


If you have ever had new tile and grout installed in your home, you should know that to keep the grout clean and looking like new the installer will apply a product called "grout sealer". This product seals the grout and repels dirt, grime, and mold from penetrating the grout joints. Right on the back of the bottle you will find this warning:


Do not use ...Highly alkaline, acidic, ammoniated, abrasive cleaners and/or bleach as they may break down the sealer, adversely affecting repellency and may not be good for the grout. Use an All Natural Cleaner specially formulated for Tile and Grout.


I never have a problem keeping my house clean and actually enjoying it with the help of these natural cleaners. Most all of these products have a light citrus scent and are super concentrated, making them economical to use. The Tub & Tile cleaner will not blow you out of the shower and does a great job keeping tile and grout clean. Best of all, I never have to worry about my family or pets breathing in harmful vapors, and I know I am doing my part to help keep the environment safe.


Below I have listed a great starter set. You will absolutely love these products, and I have no doubt you will be back for more.

Have you ever wondered what the strong odor in the Cleaners Aisle of your Supermarket is? 

Studies have found that levels of several toxic air polutants average 2 to 5 times higher indoors than outdoors.

Ingestion is only one of three major ways that these products enter the body. Inhalation is even for more dangerous because when breathed in these harmful chemicals go directly into the blood stream and can quickly affect the lungs, heart, brain liver and kidneys.

By the way, that strong smell in your supermarket cleaner aisle is caused by what industry experts describe as "out gassing". Out gassing is the vapors escaping from the "sealed" containers on the supermarkets shelves. Which obviously are extremely harmful to your health!

How many of Common Household products like paints, paint strippers, and other solvents; wood preservatives; aerosol sprays; cleansers and disinfectants; moth repellents and air fresheners; stored fuels and automotive products; hobby supplies; dry-cleaned clothing do you think you have in your home?


Be sure you stay away from products that contain the following:

Methylene Chloride

Consumer products that contain methylene chloride include paint strippers, adhesive removers, and aerosol spray paints. Methylene chloride is known to cause cancer in animals. Also, methylene chloride is converted to carbon monoxide in the body and can cause symptoms associated with exposure to carbon monoxide.


Benzene

Benzene is a known human carcinogen. The main indoor sources of this chemical are environmental tobacco smoke, stored fuels and paint supplies, and automobile emissions in attached garages.

perchloroethylene

Perchloroethylene is the chemical most widely used in dry cleaning. In laboratory studies, it has been shown to cause cancer in animals. Recent studies indicate that people breathe low levels of this chemical both in homes where dry-cleaned goods are stored and as they wear dry-cleaned clothing.

If you have to use any of these products...make sure you are using them in a well ventilated area. Outside is best, but then...what do you think it's doing to the environment. Think "Ozone" and "Global Warming" as well as "Childhood Asthma".
