Green
Cleaning
For years we have been lead to believe that having a clean
home meant having a home that smelled like pine, or
bleach. However,
using strong chemicals to clean your home can lead to
health problems especially for young
children and for individuals with breathing problems.
It is a fact that many chemical cleaners
such as bathroom cleaners, disinfectants, floor cleaners
and oven cleaners contain toxic chemicals, which can
irritate lung tissue and induce an asthma attack.
Many people who have switched from cleaning
with toxic cleaners and switched to all natural and
environmentally friendly cleaners have reported that
they are able to breathe easier.
Many individuals have also reported that their
family members have even had fewer colds and flues.
One of the main reasons why people are
hesitate about using eco-friendly cleaners is that they
either haven’t heard of the companies or that they
feel the cleaners will not clean as well as the cleaners
they are accustom of using.
One company, which was featured on the Oprah
Winfrey Show, is the Shaklee Corporation.
Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee established this company
in 1956.
Shaklee products include dryer sheets to
stain removers, and every product is made from pure
ingredients that leave your home smelling clean, which
by the way, doesn’t smell. You can view all of
Shaklee’s products at:

Other eco-friendly products include:
Seventh Generation products that can be
found at many health food stores.
Whole Foods products that are nontoxic and
are made without any dyes or perfumes.
Whole Foods products can be found at your local
Target stores and on online.

Eco-friendly cleaners are more expensive than
traditional cleaners.
However, the benefits of having a clean home as
well as clean air to breathe inside you home is
priceless. Next
time it’s cleaning day—clean green.
