Cleaning Green Without Chlorine

Do you know how dangerous chlorine (chlorine bleach) can be to you and your family? The fumes from chlorine can irritate the nose, throat and lungs. When combined with other chemicals it can become quite lethal. Chlorine also produces a toxic byproduct called dioxin, which has been linked to many severe health problems, such as birth defects, cancer, reproductive disorders and immune system breakdown. Once we are exposed to dioxins our bodies to not get rid of them, and they accumulate.

With all of these known hazards we need to find safe and effective alternatives. One very simple solution is distilled white vinegar. It has been proven to work just as well, and often better, than chlorine. Making a non toxic all purpose cleaner to use all over your home is so simple. A combination of distilled water, distilled white vinegar and some essential oils and you are all set. Tea tree, eucalyptus, and lemon are all disinfectants. Start using yours today!
