"Cytotoxic Chems Affect Chromosomes" Says
Harvard Researcher
One
way to cut down on cancer risks for both you and your pets is to abandon
the use of commercial household chemicals. We don't buy those
spray bottles of cleaners anymore (such as Fantastic, Fabulous,
Lysol, etc). We don't use petroleum-based solvents. We make our own
cleaners--safer and cheaper!
Here
is all you really need for most all cleaning chores around the home:
We
went to the hardware store and bought several empty spray bottles, the
kind gardeners use for spraying plants. We filled each bottle and
labeled them:
For
the bathroom, we put 1 part bleach to 4 parts water and a few drops of
dishwashing liquid (or liquid soap) into a spray bottle. This will
sanitize tubs, tiles, sinks, toilets and fight bathroom mold. Because of
the chlorine, be careful of inhaling fumes. Keep your pet out of the
room when cleaning.
For
cleaning most stains from carpets and furniture, we make a solution of
hydrogen peroxide and water, about half and half. You can usually safely
spray this onto carpets, etc. You can add a few drops of laundry
detergent if you want something foamier.
For
windows and mirrors, we spray plain water mixed with a little ammonia
and a drop or two of dishwashing liquid.
For
pet accidents, either "Nature's Miracle" or the peroxide
spray, above. For pet bowls, simple bleach water is all you need (no
soap).
For
kitchen countertops, plain soap and water. Once in a while you can clean
with plain vinegar to remove any film buildup or stains. Wooden cutting
boards can be dealt with using kosher salt rubbed in with a damp sponge
and rinsed.
