Natural Homemade Cleaning - Discover Why We Don't Need Toxic Chemical Products Anymore

We all like to use the best products to help us complete our cleaning jobs, like removing hard water stains and limescale around the home.

However, can we use natural homemade formulas that contain non-toxic chemicals? Are they as effective? Are they cheap to make? The answer to all these is yes, and potentially poisonous chemical products are often not necessary.

Lots of chemical cleaning products on the market produce volatile organic compounds (VOC's), which escape into the atmosphere. If used correctly they are usually perfectly safe, but when small amounts are left on surfaces (which we all know can happen), or left to float around the room that was just cleaned they can be harmful, particularly to children and pets.

Although rinsing the chemical off surfaces or wiping down with a clean cloth afterwards is a good idea, it doesn't get rid of all of the chemical from the room. As they often use solvents in these products, it causes gassing off, which is the reason why when we get a whiff of some of them, we get the rush of lightheadedness and nausea that comes when we get too close! Young children, the elderly, and those who are sensitive to chemicals are particularly susceptible to the effects of these noxious chemicals.

Chemical residue on wooden, tiled or vinyl floors are particularly significant. This is because although the floor is probably free from germs and dirt after using the chemical products, children can end up playing on the surface soon after picking up the residue on their skin.

We all know children love putting objects in their mouth, but cleaning everything that they pick up before they do is not a great idea either. While attempts at intense cleaning are admirable and surely with the best intentions, this may simply be filling childrens mouths with harmful chemicals.

We hear a lot about "green products" these days and why we should all use them, but are they really effective? Well, before we had all the manufactured chemical products, we still had the same cleaning issues that we do today. There was no way we could go to the cupboard and pull out the latest product we'd seen on TV to solve the problem. We had to used the natural goods around us to get the job done, and they were used because of just that, they got the job done!



We can still use them today if we wanted to, and more and more people are realizing the benefits of using natural homemade formulas using white vinegar to tackle household cleaning, particularly in removing hard water stains and limescale in a much cheaper, safe and non-toxic way. Discover how my step-by-step ebook guide can help you remove hard water stains and limescale in a completely natural way, without using harmful chemicals.

We need to educate others on just how dangerous these chemical cleaning products are. We should also understand that our government and corporate America are aware of the dangers but they are doing nothing about it. They look the other way and keep on poisoning our air our body’s and the environment. Some of the statistic about the chemical cleaning products will blow your mind. For example an EPA survey concluded that indoor air was 3 to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air. Another one the National Cancer Association released results of a 15 year study concluding that women who work in the home are at a 54% higher risk of developing cancer than women who work outside the home. There are many others that will turn your stomach
and they are all directly related to the chemical cleaning products.for more insights please visit : - MCS cleaning london
