NATURAL HOME CLEANING

DON'T LET HARSH CHEMICALS INTO YOUR HOME.

Conventional household cleaners contain a range of toxic chemicals with varying degrees of severity, posing immediate risks such as skin or respiratory problems, chemical burns, and eye irritation, as well as long-term hazards like cancer, fertility issues, ADHD, and compromised immune systems.

The most common toxic chemicals in household cleaners can be classified into the following categories:

Carcinogens

These substances either cause or contribute to the development of cancer.

Endocrine disruptors

These chemicals mimic human hormones, sending false signals within the body and leading to issues such as infertility, premature puberty, miscarriage, menstrual problems, ADHD, and even cancer.

Neurotoxins

Substances that impact brain activity and can result in problems like headaches and memory loss.

Luckily, it is very easy and affordable to clean naturally at home! In fact, this book was excellent when I was just starting out myself : Natural Home Cleaning Over 100 Ways To Clean Your Home Naturally

Pure-Castile Liquid Soap

Originating in the Mediterranean region, Castile soap has its roots from the Castile region of Spain, a historical center for soap production from olive and other vegetable oils. Castile soap is exclusively made from vegetable oils, devoid of animal fats, rendering it vegan, non-toxic, and biodegradable. The soap molecules in Castile soap possess one end that attracts water and another that repels it. When mixed with water, this interaction results in one end binding to dirt, grime, and grease, effectively removing them from the applied surface. Thanks to its plant-based composition, Castile soap is non-corrosive, making it versatile for cleaning the body, home, pets, eliminating insects, and more. This brand has no synthetic preservatives, detergents or foaming agents and 3X more concentrated than most liquid soaps so remember to dilute!
