Safer Choices For Cleaning Your Bathroom With Lemi Shine

When it comes to cleaning the bathroom, most people are using products that may be toxic to their health. From bleach to cleansers, these bathroom cleaners are loaded with ingredients that are harmful to your lungs and skin. Keep reading to discover safer cleaning products for your bathroom.

The bathroom tends to be the dirtiest and smelliest room in the house, especially if you have boys living in the home. That may be the reason that most people hate cleaning the bathroom. When the time comes to clean the bathroom, most people reach for the strongest cleaner to get the job done, thinking that stronger equals better cleaning power.

The sad truth is stronger does not equal better cleaning and they are using products that are not good for their health. Stronger cleaners contain toxic ingredients that are harmful to your lungs, even more so when used in a room without proper ventilation. If you are using bleach without opening up a window, it can irritate your lungs, eyes, and skin.

Banish Odors With A Non Toxic Natural Mist Room Spray

      I received samples from Gurunanda to facilitate this post

 I have sensitivities to chemical scents and I try to avoid them at all costs. As these chemical scents can put my body into a coughing fit and make me feel sick. The toxic chemical scents can also trigger an asthma attack so I avoid them. I am that person who goes into the laundry aisle and quickly grabs a bottle of detergent that is scented with essential oils before I start coughing. I also avoid the gym when they are cleaning as I know which days the cleaning people come. I am glad that I can control the chemicals in my house. I just wish I had controlled the toxic chemical products a lot sooner. Maybe I would not be this sensitive to scents. It was two years ago when the chemical scents started the asthma attacks so since then, I have been changing out all my cleaning products to naturally scented ones or just not using them. The one product that my husband wishes I bought is air freshener as he hates a smelly bathroom. So he has resorted to lighting a match after he uses the bathroom.


Natural Mist Air Spray to the rescue

 My husband was glad that I discovered a Natural Mist Room Spray so he no longer has to light a match after someone uses the bathroom. So now we can use aromatherapy in our bathroom to keep it fresh smelling. The best part of these natural sprays from GuruNanda are they are made with 100% plant-based natural essential oils. They also have amazing scents that don't leave me coughing. I love how they spray into the air and leave a natural mist of scent. They are great for those bathroom odors!

360° Functionality: Easily spray your Natural Mist Air Spray continuously even when you turn it upside down!

Regular commercial air fresheners mask odors with chemicals 

 Most people don't realize that those commercial spray cans of air fresheners are loaded with chemical fragrances that are far from natural. A company doesn't even have to disclose what synthetic scent chemicals are in their secret recipe for their fragrance. Many fragrances are full of phthalates and petrochemicals and some are even derived from animals. That seems scary to me and my lifetime exposure to chemical fragrances could be one of the reasons I have sensitivities now. So I am happy that there are products made with essential oils so I can still enjoy scents.

Four Natural Scents With a Low Carbon Footprint

These natural room sprays offer immediate aromatherapy benefits with a low carbon footprint as even the packaging is planet-friendly. They come in four exotic blends (Lavender Orange Vanilla, Jasmine Rosemary, Lemongrass Lime Basil, and Spearmint Patchouli Cedarwood). My favorite is Jasmine Rosemary for the bathroom and kitchen. I love using the Lavender Orange Vanilla spray in my bedroom before I go to bed. This scent is so relaxing for me. I can take a deep breath in and be glad that it has no artificial fragrances or chemical propellants in it.

Cool Looking Bottles

The spray bottles look so fancy in my bathroom so I can keep them on top of the toilet tank so my guests can use them if needed. There is nothing worse than having to use the bathroom at someone else's house and feeling embarrassed about their potty odor. These non-toxic scents do a great job of covering up those bathroom odors. Discover more about these Natural Mist Room Sprays HERE.

Clean The Bathroom Mess The Non Toxic Way

Bathrooms don't stand a chance against this non-toxic bathroom disinfectant. 

I received samples of Cleanwell products to facilitate this post.

The bathroom is my least favorite room to clean, especially the one upstairs that the boys use. Bathrooms are a place to get clean and take care of bodily functions. Sometimes the bodily functions of boys can be quite messy. No matter how much you teach boys how to aim, pee always ends up around the potty. In a perfect world, boys would sit while they pee but I don't see that happening. I tried to keep my boys in the dark about standing while potty training but all too soon they see an older brother or friend in the bathroom and it is over. So as a mom of four boys, five if you include the husband, your best defense is non-toxic cleaners that kill over 99.9% of the bathroom germs, including cold & flu viruses.

A safer way to clean

  I am glad that the boys have learned how to lift the seat when using the bathroom and they always put it back down afterward. So, for the most part, I never see the mess until cleaning day. My husband is also good at playing pee police and will make the boys clean the toilet seat if he sees a mess. So I like to keep a container of Botanical Disinfecting Wipes in the bathroom so they can wipe up after their messes. Messes will happen. I like that there are non-toxic wipes that my boys can use to wipe down the toilet seat. So what happens in the bathroom stays in the bathroom.

Most household cleaning products are a cocktail of chemicals that can be dangerous to your health. Common ingredients include:

·       Quaternary ammonium – used as an antimicrobial and disinfectant – but toxic to aquatic animals and linked to asthma, skin irritation, birth defects and fertility problems in mice

·       2-butoxyethanol – a solvent linked to sore throats and, at high levels, pulmonary edema, and liver and kidney damage- now listed as a hazardous substance in California

·       Formaldehyde – a known human carcinogen that masquerades under different names such as formalin, methanol, and oxymethylene on product labels

·       Synthetic coloring – linked to skin irritations and ADHD in children

Fight those germs with CleanWell 

What happens in the bathroom stays in the bathroom.

I try to deep clean the bathroom one a week. It is my least favorite place to clean but it has to be done. Since my boys are older, they help out with the chores around the house.

Since my favorite cleaner requires no rinsing, we can get the bathroom cleaned in no time. The citrus scent leaves the bathroom smelling nice and clean.

Next room up, the kitchen

     My boys know that helping with cleaning chores means more time for fun. My youngest loves to help me in the kitchen and when we cook, we can be quite messy. When we are done baking cookies, I let him drive the 3 in 1 Stick Vacuum and I tackle the counter messes. My son gets the crumbs and I kiss the germs goodbye from all our baking fun. Yes, there can be germs from baking cookies as raw eggs can contain germs. That is why I tell my boys no sampling until the cookies are baked.
