Healing Strategies - Detox Household Products |
It is pointless to spend money adding supplements if you don't subtract toxic products under your sink, in your cabinets, at your desk and in your storage areas. Keep an eye out for:
Since there are so many dangerous chemicals in commercial household products, it is best to avoid them. Consider substitutes. For cleaning, consider using vinegar and water, baking soda or borax for cleaning. For polishing furniture, consider olive oil. For laundry use Borax. Also, try soaking laundry overnight so a fraction of detergent is needed. Any anti-bacterial cleaning product contains pesticide. Stock up on glass storage containers rather than plastic which may shed toxic chemicals. Use only unbleached coffee filters to avoid dioxin. Avoid Teflon cookware. Air-fresheners may contain pesticides. Consider substituting an orange stuck with cloves. For pest control and other healthy solutions, see www.greenguide.com Some tips compiled by the Household Toxins' Organization:
"surfactants" or "preservatives".
Products intended to make surfaces shiny, that spray waxes and floor polishes deposit residues that often pose risks to health. In addition, these products often contain hazardous solvents that keep the ingredients suspended in the formula and decrease the product's drying time. Never mix cleaners. Combining different products can inadvertently create substances whose toxicity is higher than the individual cleaners alone. Do not clean with hot water. Hot water allows the volatile chemicals found in many product formulas to evaporate and enter your home's air in greater quantities.
