The air inside of our homes can be more toxic and deadly than the air outside. With all the talk of pollution nowadays, very few people are pointing out that the most waste and most pollution is being caused by the everyday products we use in our homes. That's right. Most the products found on the store shelves, even one claiming to be all natural, are in fact not natural and can be more toxic than smog.

You see, most products are based on a few simple ingredients, that is, they use petroleum by-products, lye, chlorine, or ammonia as their base cleaning solution. Who wants those on the skin or in the home? Petroleum by-products not only give off noxious, undetectable carcinogens, they also leave an oily residue that attracts more dirt. Who wants that? You clean only to have to clean more because the cleaning solution cannot be rinsed off of stuff.

Lye is an all around no-no. It forms the base of most commercial cleaning products in the U.S. They even mix it with cow fat to make bar soap for the body. This product slowly eats away at whatever is cleaned with it. That means your cloths, the sink, the carpet, and other surfaces become eroded and tiny holes form that can trap dirt particles forever. Besides that, it is worse than petroleum products when it comes to safety. It is more harmful than sniffing exhaust fumes, and yet millions of unaware consumers are filling their homes with it only to also pay a huge doctor bill because the family is always sick.

Takeaways
  • 1. All natural does not always mean 100% safe for the environment in or out of the home.
  • 2. Organic cleaners can be less expensive and more effective than store brands.
  • 3. All-natural cleaning products have a wide range of useful different types for all cleaning needs.
Did You Know?
Indoor air can be more toxic than outside air. Most of these toxins come from the products we use everyday in our home. Unknowingly, we could be giving our families cancer or respiratory problems simply because we are trying for a clean home.
