Let’s just cut right to the chase. Conventional cleaning products are bad for you. They are bad for your kids. They are bad for your pets. They are bad for the environment. They are harsh cleaning agents that often contain harsh, carcinogenic chemicals.
Years ago, when still using these chemically based cleaners, I would often find myself itching my eyes, coughing and head pounding after finishing a day of cleaning the house. There had to be a better way. And, I found it! I decided to tackle the idea of making my own cleaners. And, it was AMAZING!
So, where do you even start with introducing a change? Perhaps you have been thinking about it for a while, but the thought of using natural products or even making your own products sounds very daunting and time consuming.
Allow me to share some options with you that will support you in an easy and reassuring change to safe, natural and non-toxic products.
