NATURAL ALTERNATIVES TO TOXIC HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS THAT ARE POISONING US AND THE PLANET
Save money and stop buying toxic crap. Open up one of those bottles and take a big whiff. Hurts your lungs doesn’t it? Burns doesn it? Why would you pollute your home and then water source with it? Capitalism doesn’t care about your health. They want money. They want to sell you anything and fear monger you into getting rid of germs. Your floor doesn’t need toxins to get clean. All it needs is water and a cloth. If you want to add something to make yourself feel better…
Here is a recipe for an alternative non-toxic cleaning solution:
Water plus vinegar, plus baking soda, plus rosemary essential oil, plus pineneedle essential oil. If you need a bit of grit, add salt. That’s literally all we ever need and anything else will only make life worse.
Anything toxic we introduce to nature, like pouring a bucket of toxic water down the drain inevitably pollutes the very planet we depend upon to sustain us. We will end up drinking that bleach, ajax, Fabuloso etc…in addition to killing ourself we are killing wildlife.
THIS IS PURE IDIOCRACY BECAUSE A FEW COMPANIES WANT TO GET RICH.
Did you know that indoor air pollution can be extremely dangerous to your health?
Indoor air pollution could be one of the most overlooked, most dangerous threats to our health. As HealthNutNews reports, "... indoor air toxicity is often up to twice that of outdoor, which can lead to asthma, headaches, allergies, hormone imbalances and other health problems."
The quality of our indoor air is significantly reduced in the presence of household chemicals. Synthetic cleaning products, pesticides, perfumes and fragrances, can negatively affect hormones, leading to mood changes, weight gain and sleep disturbances. Even carpets, synthetic furniture, dry-cleaned clothes, paints and computers, all release indoor air pollution, reducing the quality of the air we breathe.
There are several ways to purify the air to improve our breathing experience. There are many great indoor air purifiers on the market. It's important to replace chemical-based cleaning products, artificial fragrances and perfumes with natural, essential oil-based products.
The most natural way to purify the air is to bring air-purifying plants into the home setting. Plants such as Areca palm release moisture in the air and convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. A plant called Mother-in-law's Tongue removes formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene, toluene and benzene from the air. Gerbera Jamesonii (Gerbera Daisy) oxygenates the room and takes out a host of airborne chemicals too. All three plants are great to grow indoors for anyone experiencing asthma or breathing problems in their home environment. NASA recommends that homeowners maintain 15 plants for a 2,000 square-foot home.
The more we reconnect with the natural environment and remove the chemicals polluting our air, the more we become in touch with ourselves, one another and our health freedom. The quality of the air and how we breathe it affects every system of our bodies.

Toxic shellacs and thinners should be restricted to outdoor sheds if possible. They shouldn't be in your home. Use your flyswatter and ditch the insect spray poisons. Those are extremely toxic and shouldn't be in your home or even garage (http://www.naturalnews.com).
Keeping the house clean inside is important. But what you use for cleaning the house can be worse than collecting dust and dirt. Commercially produced household cleaning items pollute indoor air with their toxins. Get rid of them and use non-toxic soaps (https://www.naturalnews.com/028846_laundry_detergents_dioxane.html).
Chemical air freshening fragrances should be discarded. There are air treatment machines that you could research carefully to determine which one is suitable for you (https://www.naturalnews.com/033143_indoor_air_purification.html). Try to choose a machine that involves more than one method of purification.
Use high quality air filters for your central AC/forced hot air system, and change it seasonally. Indoor plants can do wonders to oxygenate your indoor air, making it fresher and healthier as well as creating a naturally aesthetic setting.
Today so many of us spend most of our time indoors, disconnected from fresh air. We stay cooped up in our indoor environments, constantly breathing in the same polluted air. As we stay in our boxes, we do not truly adapt to the world that is around us. In this way, our bodies become more susceptible to the ill effects of pathogens. Incorporating fresh air into our lives on a daily basis could be a more essential habit than eating an apple a day. Breathing fresh air through the nose is important because the nose acts as a first line of defense, filtering out undesirables from the outside world. The nose also warms the air, preparing it for the lungs. The more we properly breathe fresh air, the more we nourish the blood, strengthening entire systems of the body.
Detox your dwelling and purify your indoor air with plants
The air quality in an airtight home or office is usually worse than outdoor air. Since a good deal of time is spent inside one's home and/or office space, then measures to improve that air quality are in order.
