There's "chemical" clean and there's "green" clean
For years we have been trained that "clean" smells like lemon, vanilla, orange, pine, or cinnamon. The truth is that real clean doesn't have a smell, real clean can't hurt you. Getting both clean and green means rethinking what you have come to know as clean. In the mid 1950's, women mixed natural household ingredients like vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda to form natural, safe, cost effective cleaners that worked very well. Slowly, chemical companies began introducing new chemical laden products that claimed to be more effective and easier to use. What we are now beginning to realize is that these products are like Trojan Horses. We brought them into our home thinking they were safe, only to find out they released an army of harmful chemicals. Most Americans, especially children, have many pesticides and other toxic chemicals in their bodies. Studies have shown that the source of these toxins are common, everyday, run of the mill household cleaning products.
