Cleaning, cleaning used to mean soaking things in ammonia and bleach but believe it or not before those “miracle cleaning agents” came along women used to use things they found around the house and guess what? They worked!
Those harsh cleansers are bad for your floors and furniture and they can prove very toxic for your body, even if you wear gloves. The fumes of ammonia and chlorine are powerful and they can do serious damage to your lungs.
Healthy cleaning is all about choosing the cleansing products with no chemicals, the ones that are the least harmful to you, your family, your pets and the planet itself. Everything we use gets washed down the drain in one way or the other and we should never forget that even though it’s easy to.
If you live in Canada you can look at the cleaning products and if they have the Environmental Choice Eco-Logo, you know it’s one worth buying. These have certain standards they have to meet to get approved. For example they need to improve energy efficiency, reduce hazardous by-products, or use recycled materials.
The logo consists of three intertwined doves that resembles a green maple leaf. As of now Environmental Choice has approved a whopping 1,400 products that you can use to do your healthy cleaning with no chemicals to poison the earth.

I have been using eco-friendly cleaning products for several years and love the fact that my family and I aren’t exposed to harsh chemicals in our home. We have a product line in Minneapolis called Mrs. Meyers. It works and smells great!
You forgot to mention our ‘eyes’, these harmful chemicals are not only damaging to our lungs but also our eyes too, we may not realize the dangers of some dangerous chemicals but after 1-2 years we do realize how much damage they do it. Acetic Acid is one of them, cover your eyes properly, wear some protective glasses or like that because it’s very strong!
