Natural Cleaning Products on the March!

posted by Chattering Mind | 11:35am Saturday February 17, 2007

There’s a smell. You know that smell? It’s the fake pine smell of the commercial cleaning products that many schools and restaurants use.

When I’m stuck somewhere and I smell that smell I feel like climbing the walls. I used to sit it out. Now I leave, or move, and pray that soon, everyone will make the switch to more natural cleansers that won’t trigger reactions or allergies. Here’s a good take on the surge in all-natural cleaner sales.

Eco-queen Debra Lynn Dadd has a list of natural cleansers she likes. I use CitraSolve. Delicious.

CM's Final Posts: You Can Fill the Space
Eighteen years ago, I wrote an article for a magazine that got me called in for a taped interview with a Fox TV morning news anchor. Being an effective communicator and a skillful public speaker was a dream of mine at the time. And still is. After some 30 minutes of prep with the station's hair-and-

Websites to Visit, Blogs to Read
Here are some blogs and websites I like. It's not a complete list. But it's a start. The first is called New Moon Journal and it is written by Michele Bailey-Lessirard, a life coach, collage artist, and "shamanic astrologer." On the opening page of her site, you'll find a little slide show of her am

Don't Pierce Your Belly Button
I caught the following conversation between two pretty women in the ladies' room of a Manhattan restaurant. One of the women was pregnant. And she said, "So my acupuncturist made me take the ring out of my belly button." "Really?" her friend exclaimed. "Yeah, he said, 'Let's give this baby a chance.

Amazing Cleaning Products I Recently Discovered! I recently discovered these amazing Organic cleaning products. I never thought something “organic” could be so good at cleaning my home. I have used Clorox bleach and Windex among other name brand chemical cleaning products for years and have hated the harsh smells and reactions to my skin every time I used them. But when my 3 year old developed sensitivity to the chemicals in the everyday cleaning products that were being used in her school as well as in our home I had to take action. I needed to find something that was just as strong and gentle enough that I could use them around my family and pets. It seems like more and more I am hearing negative reactions to all these everyday cleaning products in homes and in schools. There are cleaning products out there that are safe and effective and I wholely stand by BabyGanics. I have done a lot of research and have found a very enlightening from their website about BabyGanics I would like to share: Why is it so important to use BabyGanics Healthy Home Cleaning products? Babies and children are particularly at risk and more vulnerable than adults. Their bodies are rapidly growing and developing, so exposure to harmful chemicals can cause maximum damage at this critical time.When children play on the floor they can ingest chemical residues from cleaning products which are left behind. These toxins are easily absorbed into the skin and travel through the blood stream of babies who are much more susceptible to the dangers they pose. Children can be directly ingesting potentially harmful, chemical residue invisible to us.Chronic symptoms can develop and lead to debilitating developmental problems. For example, toxic materials found in common window and surface cleaners include ammonia, which can lead to eye, respiratory and skin irritation. Leading bathroom cleaners include compounds such as sodium acid sulfate, oxalate, hypochloric acid and chlorinated phenols which are very toxic and can cause respiratory, circulatory and cardiac damage.Many of these chemicals can be fatal if ingested.All BabyGanics Healthy Home products are: Superior in performance to conventional cleaners Safe for children, pets and the environment Non-toxic/chemical-free All natural/organic All BabyGanics Healthy Home products contain: No Fillers or dyes No Pollutants No Caustic ingredients No Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) If we can use something that is Natural and Organic and that is just as strong and effective as all these name brand cleaners then why not? This is my opinion and I hope whoever reads this finds this to be helpful.
