I just finished doing the dishes and cleaning the counters. Later, I need to do some laundry. I know, its nothing earth-shattering or even very interesting. I mean, don't we all have to do these mundane tasks several times a week? Well, I am telling you this because about 2 1/2 years ago I switched to nontoxic, earth friendly, and family friendly cleaners. Right away I noticed they had almost no smell. But, I wouldn't keep using them just because of that. I still use them because they work great! I can use them to clean everything. I can even enlist the help of my 9 year old son because there is nothing in them that will hurt him. Who doesn't want their kids helping to clean the house? They are also super concentrated. I like this for 2 reasons: First, went I run out of something, I just mix up some more instead of heading to the store, and second, it saves me a lot of money. Now, last week my husband sprayed some other cleaner in the shower. God bless him for helping, but I could smell that stuff for days! I can't believe I used to use that kind of stuff on a regular basis.
But, this post is called Healthy Home and not just Clean Home for a reason. Since I switched to these cleaners, we have been much healthier. Now, we were pretty healthy before this, but when I look back, my son has only been to the doctor for a check-up and flu shots in the last 2 years. He's had a cold here and there and he had a fever for a day and a half this Fall. I know that I talk to lots of moms about how their kids are always sick. I'm thankful that mine is not one of them. My husband and I have been to the doctor for this and that (we're older, you see) but not for any sicknesses. Is this just a coincidence? Could be, but I don't think so. I'll keep using these wonderful cleaners and enjoy my healthy home.
