Toxicity. Do we really
know what this means? Can you even say it ten times really fast?
What ever it is we know it has become a way of life.
It is a fact that we are exposed daily to an incredible array of
toxins in our normal lives. They are "toxins" and each one has a
certain degree of toxicity to it. Toxicity can be determined in a
variety of ways.
With an interest in a sparkling house you need to know a little bit
about it to protect yourself, your family and anyone else whose
house you clean.
The next question then becomes how can you respond and what can you
do?
Well, you can do a lot as a dedicated house cleaner. First, limit
your exposure. Read labels carefully. Use nontoxic cleaning
products. Avoid using indoor pesticides.
Secondly, limit the exposure of the people around you. Happily for
you and your house there are plenty of effective, earth-safe
cleaners that you can buy or make. Borax mixed with lemon juice will
take out toilet-bowl stains. White vinegar is useful for
disinfecting bathrooms and kitchens. Bon Ami, a borax-based powder
cleanser sold in supermarkets and hardware stores for more than 50
years, safely cleans pots, pans, sinks, oven interiors along with
other corroded surfaces.
Using these alternatives will reduce the toxic load in your house
and beyond. Using environmentally friendly cleaners will also
safeguard your health and that of the community. It reduces air,
water and ground pollution in the big picture.
So why isn't everyone doing it? The reality is, few people actually
check labels. Start now. Take time to read the label. Distinguish
yourself as a "green cleaner." You can start a trend. You can
actually become a product toxicity home specialist.
The first thing to know is that not all "green" products are created
equal. Again, read. Catch the ones that have been prettied up with
essential oils. Check labels for irritating chemicals such as
chlorine, ammonia and artificial fragrances and dyes.
Many people who "think green" are just now applying their philosophy
to the dirt at hand. "Eco-friendly cleaning and laundry products are
the next frontier of environmentalism," says Marci Zaroff, former
publisher of Macrocosm and CEO of Under the Canopy, an
organic-fabric clothing company. "It's an inexpensive, easy and
effective way to protect our planet and commitment to life."
