sn-allpurposecleaner25ozsmall.jpgWith the December air now upon us and the breath of “Old Man Winter” licking down the backs of our coats most of us have also said good bye to that nice fresh air that comes through our windows. We did not want to do it but it happens every year and there is nothing we can do about it.

Have you ever thought about the quality of your air inside your home after you have decided to close the windows? Now being enclosed with no fresh air coming in what kind of air particles are floating around that may cause harmful effects on your health? Are you breathing in all sorts of toxins that have been spread around throughout your home by the cleaning products that you use?

Many companies put all kinds of ingredients into their products that are known to be harmful to our respiratory system. These airborn particles make people with respiratory problems have a harder time breathing. Some of these people think they are getting worse but the real cause is the cleaning products that they are using contain toxins.

Better air quality in your home starts by purchasing healthy products. Products that are labeled “all natural” with essential oils are certainly the way to go. Many of these all natural products are also biodegradable which is a plus. If your cleaning products do not contain any toxins you will breathe a lot easier. If you want your home to have a better air quality you need to start to toss those old toxic and chemical laden house hold cleaners to the curb and buy healthy quality all natual cleaning products like an all purpose cleaner, glass cleaner, dusting spray, wood floor cleaner, and bathroom cleaner.

You will also find that an all natural home cleaner has a very pleasant smell that will not only be healthy but give your home that clean freshness that everyone wants to have. 

Romancing the Stain

red wine spillRed wine is no friend to fabric. If anyone remembers that 80s teen flick, Can’t Buy Me Love, then they know just how traumatizing and life-altering a red wine stain can be. In the movie the main female character (some blond chick…) spills red wine on an expensive, white suede outfit slyly borrowed from her mom’s closet. When she visits the mall to replace the outfit she learns it will cost $2,000, and she doesn’t have that kind of money. So she asks the family lawn boy (a nearly pre-pubescent Patrick Dempsey) to loan her the money. He loans it to her on the condition that she pretend he is her boyfriend for two weeks.

Really, the things red wine stains can do to people. Most teenagers today would know to quickly spritz the spot with some organic stain remover, throw it in the washer and dryer, and call it a day.

Teens of the millennium may have no notion of romance when removing stains, but back in the 80s Can’t Buy Me Love turned a red wine stain into a pop culture phenomenon. Despite their differences, the main characters fell in love and cruised off on a riding lawn mower off into the sunset.

The Environment and Me

biodegradable cleaners 

So I found out that there are many ways that we can help shape the environment that is around us.  Instead of being pessimistic or oblivious to it, we can take simple steps toward environmental health in our very homes. 

By using biodegradable cleaners we are stopping the spread of chemically enriched products that we put down the sink.  This is just one step that we can take among many that will help this planet heal itself and protect it for future generations.

Organic green tea soap when used as part of your regular skin care regime can have many more benefits than you think.

Skin being an organ has the ability to absorb nutrients. Instead of drinking green tea for those that do not like the taste of green tea, buying some organic green tea soap gives the pleasure of cleansing your entire body knowing that the skin will absorb the necessary nutrients giving you that healthy glow all your friends will talk about.   

Organic green tea soap can be used on hands, face, or entire body not to mention it is great for anti-aging and sensitive skin too. Antioxidant rich formulas help to get rid of free radicals that can cause serious health issues. If you have an acne problem organic green tea soap can come to the rescue by killing acne fungi.

Cold pressed organic green tea soap retains more of the healthy green tea benefits than other soaps that use a heating process which fail to meet the standards of the cold pressed process. Other healthy benefits of using organic green tea soap is that by reading the label you can tell if the product is gluten free, toxic free, chemical free, cruelty free, and not tested on animals.

Organic green tea soap can come in various forms. Of course there is the bar soap which should be kept in a dry soap dish. You can also buy organic green tea soap in what is called a “soap rock,” or in liquid form.

So if you want to have healthy looking skin care products that are proven to be the best there is on the market today. Be sure to have organic green tea soap in your daily routine. 

Cleaner house, happier pets & people!

August 14, 2008, Author: jopilee

Running my crazy household with 2 kids and 4 dogs, keeping the house clean is a hard job. It’s even harder to find safe household cleaners that won’t harm the kids or pets. That’s why I’m so happy I found the organic cleaners on this site. They clean well and keep everyone safe!

To protect your health and the loved ones around you it is best to use organic cleaners and an organic stain remover whenever needed. Studies have shown that we are exposed to about 300 chemicals daily. Just think how many of those chemicals you and your loved ones are breathing those toxic fumes in every single day. Not to mention the harsh chemicals that come in contact with your skin.

Petroleum based toxic cleaners get sprayed into the air. We breathe that toxic air with the fumes either entering our nasal passages or into our mouth. Then the toxins cling to the membranes of our lungs and eventually enter into our bloodstream. It is not any better if these chemicals contact our skin. Skin is the largest organ we have. It is not impenatrable. Toxins enter through the skin and also enter our bloodstream. As you now see it is vital to use a toxic free organic stain remover.

biodegradable cleaners

The items that we have around our home can have either a negative or positive affect on our lives.  One thing that we should really be aware of is the harmful toxins that lurk in the dark corners of our home.  Some of those items are actually place there by us. 

Using biodegradable cleaners can actually improve the health of those living under the roof of our homes.  Rather than spaying harsh chemical that get into our skin and lungs, use a natural product that has no harmful side affects.
