6 Natural Cleaners That You Need To Try

Are you looking for safe natural cleaners to clean your home? Keep reading to discover some cleaners that are made with natural ingredients and are safe to use around children and pets.

 My health matters to me as well as the health of my family. Having a clean home is important to me as a dirty home may be filled with germs or other dangerous things like mold. As I clean my home, I am careful in what I use to clean my home. I will only use safe non-toxic cleaners in my home.

 While you may think it is okay to clean your home with common cleaners like bleach or common disinfectants, it really is not as those cleaners have ingredients that may be affecting your health. I have asthma and I immediately react to chemical cleaners with coughing. Just walking past the cleaning aisle in the store or being near a cashier spraying the convoy belt sets me into an asthma attack. 

Everyone is affected by chemical cleaners and chemical fragrances

 Everyone is affected by chemical cleaners and chemical fragrances, some just have noticeable symptoms. You may say that those toxic cleaners don't affect me. While you may not react when breathing in those chemicals, they are going into your lungs and body. Your body may be reacting in other ways that don't produce noticeable symptoms like asthma or headaches. Those gut problems may be related to chemicals. If you breathe in the chemicals they can get to your gut through swallowing as your sinuses are connected to your throat. 

Don't get me started on people who wear perfume!

 My lungs are ultra-sensitive and most cleaners affect my respiratory system making it hard for me to breathe. I can't even be near people wearing perfume. Common household cleaners are loaded with chemical crap fragrances that linger in the air and breathing those fragrances affect your lungs. While you think that your allergies are caused by plants, the cause may also be chemical fragrances. Check out this article Do You Know What Is In Your Perfume?

It is made with plant-based surfactants, natural fir needles, and spruce essential oils. It is also made without any synthetic dyes or fragrances.
