According to US National Center for Health Statistics, 1 in 3 people suffer from allergies, asthma, sinusitis or bronchitis. One of the ways to treat these conditions should include reducing synthetic chemicals in the home environment. These commercial, chemical-based products can also caused long term health concerns for the family and environmental pollution.
There are many inexpensive, easy-to-use natural alternatives which can safely be used in place of commercial household products. Here is a list of common, environmentally safe products which can be used alone or in combination for many household applications including cleaning your home furniture. Why don’t start making your own and take charge of your own health.
• 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.
• 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. Use vinegar as a natural fabric softener.
• 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.
• 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.)
• Lemon Juice – can be used to dissolve soap scum and hard water deposits. Lemon is a great substance to clean and shine brass and copper. Cut a lemon in half and sprinkle baking soda on the cut section. Use the lemon to scrub dishes, surfaces, and stains.
