Living chemical free has been the lifestyle our ancestors were living. But over the past two generations chemicals rule our life and over the years we have observed and researched that chemicals cause more health problems than they were actually predicted to cause. This has been a great eye opened for a lot of people who relied on chemicals for most part of their lives. Although a lifestyle without chemicals 100% may be a tough choice to make, we can always try and eliminate as many chemicals. To begin with we can implement a natural cleaner at home, considering home cleaners and stain removers have maximum number of chemicals, this will be a great start. Try one of these eco-friendly all-purpose cleaners instead: The dilutable ones will save you money, the larger sizes help you cut back on waste, and the organic choices mean your house will finally, really be clean without the harmful chemicals. You can make your own DIY cleaners from vinegar, alcohol, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and sometimes essential oils. They do a great job of cleaning. These are likely the base ingredient of most cleaning agents we buy off the counter. As essential oils may leave streak marks on your glasses, its highly recommended not to use essential oils while making a glass cleaner. Refreshing basil, soothing lavender, energizing lemon verbana, calming honeysuckle, and other plant-based scents work on your senses while the nontoxic, biodegradable, concentrated formula leaves your floors, cabinets, and more sparkling. Science facts tell us that corn-based cleaning salts bind to dirt to wipe it away, while coco oil derived surfactants remove grease and grime. Surely, those air fresheners always make your room smile welcoming, but little did you know that they’re slowly creeping to your lungs, and cause lung infection in the long run. Ingredients like baking soda, mild soap, water, and lemon can be made into an air freshener. Mix ingredients all together and place the mixture in a sprayer. You can also include oils. Borax, vinegar, and water are ingredients that can clean your carpet without the chemical sting. Avoid chemical bathroom cleaners– use bi-carb and vinegar to clean bathroom sink and showers, diluted vinegar in a sprayer is great on windows and glass or lavender oil diluted in a sprayer for disinfecting toilets in the home . If you use paper cloths they can then go to the compost or use a just cloth throughout the bathroom and no need for any products. Synthetic skin care and beauty products, sun-block, insect repellent.Consider reading the label of each product to make sure the maximum number of ingredients used in creating such products are bio-degradable and also consider using natural liquid soaps for laundry as the chemicals from the detergent also can affect our skin to some extent. There are too many products on the market that are harmful to us and all of them have a much healthier alternative, we just have to be open to browse through it.
