Note: You do not have to use Heinz Vinegar, you can go with any brand you like. A lot of the White Vinegar sold on market shelves are derived from Genetically Modified vegetable plants.
- Baking Soda - cleans, deodorizes, softens water, scours.
- Soap - unscented soap in liquid form, flakes, powders or bars is biodegradable and will clean just about anything. Avoid using soaps which contain petroleum distillates.
- Lemon - one of the strongest food-acids, effective against most household bacteria.
- Borax - (sodium borate) cleans, deodorizes, disinfects, softens water, cleans wallpaper, painted walls and floors.
- White Vinegar - cuts grease, removes mildew, odors, some stains and wax build-up.
- Washing Soda - or SAL Soda is sodium carbonate decahydrate, a mineral. Washing soda cuts grease, removes stains, softens water, cleans wall, tiles, sinks and tubs. Use care, as washing soda can irritate mucous membranes. Do not use on aluminum.
- Isopropyl Alcohol - is an excellent disinfectant. (It has been suggested to replace this with ethanol or 100 proof alcohol in solution with water. There is some indication that isopropyl alcohol buildup contributes to illness in the body. See http://drclark.ch/g)
- Cornstarch - can be used to clean windows, polish furniture, shampoo carpets and rugs.
- Citrus Solvent - cleans paint brushes, oil and grease, some stains. (Citrus solvent may cause skin, lung or eye irritations for people with multiple chemical sensitivities.)

The dangers of Dioxin (found in Lysol)
Lysol...Even More Dangerous than we thought!
From the Environmental Health Newsletter, spring 1991:
We've known for a long time that Lysol contains a substance called Phenol, the ingestion of which even in small amounts can cause nausea, vomiting, circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma, respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. (Why would anyone with children keep such a product in their home?)
We have learned recently Lysol also contains Dioxin. that's the deadly ingredient used in Agent Orange that can cause genetic mutation, birth defects and cancer.
In a recent court case, Monsanto, (Lysol's parent corporation) admitted to a 30 year cover-up, lying about the presence of Dioxin in the Chlorophenol used in Lysol. They admitted knowing how devastating Dioxin is to the environment and in the human body...yet they still put it in and they still lied and said it wasn't there.
A recent article in Greenpeace Magazine recently discussed Dioxin at length. The article explained Dioxin causes cancer, birth defects and reproductive problems, as well as developmental and nervous and immune system abnormalities and damage to the kidneys, liver and skin. Even worse, it not only causes cancer, it promotes the growth of cancers begun by other carcinogens!
Not surprisingly, the article also pointed out that Monsanto (one of the nation's largest manufacturers of Dioxin) manipulated studies designed to test Dioxin's effect on the environment and made the studies scientifically invalid. In other words... They changed the data and lied again.

ReplyDeleteLast year I fell ill because of these chemicals that are present in the cleaning products, my doctor said try to use only homemade green cleaning products, usually I don’t have time to prepare the products at home, so I just buy them from my online shopping site.
