Why we should all be avoiding using chemicals in our cleaning products

Non-Toxic Cleaning for your home

One of the things I'm really interested lately in is green cleaning and the difference it can make in reducing our exposure to toxin buildups in our places of residence. Green cleaning products seem to be getting more popular as consumers become wiser to the dangers of chemicals in our environment but theres still staggering amount of people who have never heard of the phrase green cleaning or have any idea what it encompasses, hopefully i'll be able to clear up a few of the myths here.

It could bethe use of office cleaners or your very own products, are you aware that the cleaning bottles you're most likely to be using are exposing you & those around you, to potentiall deadly toxins and unsafe chemicals that have and are, causing hurtful side effects?

If you've ever: coughed , it wasn't a simple "common side effect", but a warning sign to your absorption of substances foreign and unnatural to the body.

Why your standard Cleaning Services & Products are Hazardious :

We're forever being bombarded with companies advacating their latest cleaning product as the most effective on the market. What they don't promote though, are the Hazardious effects the product's ingredients can cause. If these chemicals are strong enough to destroy germs and bacteria, consider their effect on your human organs, which form your immune system & determine your health.

Not surprisingly, the hazardious effects don't stop at the end of application . Residue from these products stay around for monthsafter their initial use, leaving you constantly exposed. Did you know your skin is your body's largest organ? It continues to absorb these dangerious chemicals and filter them into your blood stream and straight to your lungs.

So why is green cleaning the answer

In today's day and age, it is pretty much impossible to exist in a totally organic lifestyle free from toxins. What we do need to do is limit our consistant exposure by cleansing our homes and offices with certified organic cleaning products that contain onlynatural and safe ingredients. I'm from Sydney and I had a company recommended to me who use only green cleaning methods called Puregreen Cleaning Services who are i think pretty much the only company at the moment to offer certified organic and non-toxic cleaning products in all their green cleaning services. I'm sure theres a few more guys out there about who also do the same thing but having had this company recommended to me i've never really had to look any further as for the last three months since i hired them they've done a great job. Heres a link for some more info on green cleaning which has a whole bunch of further info which i can't possibly fit in here.

Green cleaning really is an issue that we should all be looking into and taking very seriously. Theres a wealth of evidence out there that shows how these substances are responsible for causing early deaths that is hard to ignore the growing evidence anymore. We should all be looking at green cleaning as not just an alternative but as the only option when cleaning places where ourselves and our family spend the majority of time.
