Chemicals and your home
After finding out that there were a lack of products available in the market place that not only cleaned your home, but were also made safe for children, we feel that it is very important to offer, on this site, ideas and safe products you can use in your home.
** Some 80% of people's exposure to chemicals occurs in the home. A five year study completed by the EPA concluded that many homes had chemical levels 70 times higher than that of outside air. They also reported that cleaning and personal care products commonly found in the home are three times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air pollution. (www.search.epa.gov)
A Few Good Ideas...
Odors
Use baking soda to kill odors throughout the home. This product is nonabrasive. It won't harm your kitchen tile, sink or counter tops. Baking soda can also be used as a deodorizer when washing clothes.

Stains
Mix white vinegar and lemon juice to get rid of stains in your home. This combination works well on persistent dirt that clings to wooden molding, counter tops and sinks. Both vinegar and lemon juice are non toxic, though rubber gloves should be worn to avoid skin irritation.
Grease & Wax
Purchase baking soda's stronger cousin: washing soda. This inexpensive product does wonders on grease and wax. Use washing soda on counter tops and unwaxed floors. Avoid using it on metal.
Mold & Allergens
Destroy mold and airborne allergens with the cleaning power of natural oils. Lavender and clove oils, when mixed with water, can be used as a reliable spray on areas susceptible to mold.
Detergent
Clean dishes and clothes with all-natural detergent, especially in homes with hard water. We highly recommend this extremely safe product: Sunshine concentrate cleaner.

Liquid Soap
Utilize liquid soaps for your household cleaning in homes with soft water. Liquid soaps require small amounts of soft water before they can clean clothing and dishes.
