Benefits of Non-Toxic Cleaning Products
There are many benefits of non-toxic cleaning products and using them in your everyday life. Non-toxic products have been gaining popularity in recent years, and for good reason. Here are just a few:
First and foremost, non-toxic products are safer for you and your family. Traditional cleaning products, for example, often contain harmful chemicals that can cause skin irritation, allergies, respiratory problems, inflammation and immune issues and other health issues including cancer. By using non-toxic products, you can avoid these risks and keep your home clean and healthy.
Secondly, I’ve found I no longer need to wear rubber gloves to clean. You can but we don’t need to. And another bonus I don’t have “cleaning clothes” with bleached out spots from toxic cleaning products.
Thirdly, non-toxic products are also better for the environment. Many traditional products contain chemicals that can be harmful to wildlife, pollute waterways, and contribute to air pollution. By using non-toxic products, you can help reduce your impact on the environment.
Finally, reputable non-toxic products can save you money in the long run. While they may be more expensive upfront, they often are concentrated and last longer and require less frequent replacement than their traditional counterparts. Plus, by using non-toxic products, you may be able to reduce your healthcare costs by avoiding exposure to harmful chemicals.
Overall, the benefits of non-toxic products are clear. They are safer for you and your family, better for the environment, and can help you save money in the long run. So why not make the switch today?
My Story
Benefits of Non-Toxic Cleaning Products
About 11 years ago I broke out in head-to-toe hives. On my eyelids and bottoms of my feet even. First, I went to urgent care, and they put me on steroids (that is a whole different conversation) and allergy medications. Next, I saw a dermatologist, who proceeded to tell me I’m allergic to myself and to take 2 Zyrtec twice a day for the rest of my life. I don’t know about you, but for me, that wasn’t a good diagnosis. They also told me not to bother with allergy testing as most are inconclusive.
Through referrals from friends, I found an allergy clinic which was three hours away and I called to make an appointment. I had to wait 2 months for a new doctor to be added or it would be longer, so I took my chance with the new doctor. What a blessing, he was also an immunologist also.
In his questions he asked what I do for a living? I said, I’m a hairstylist. His response was “oh, your toxic load is probably through the roof”. Yes, it was, and every test was off the charts, in a bad way. He said, “if your blood levels continue this way you would be predestined for breast cancer”. What? My job was poisoning me. But I can’t just blame that.
As I continued to do research, I found many cleaning products from my past were culprits to that toxic load. See, we can be exposed to a chemical for a fraction of a second, but some chemicals can live in the body for 50+ years. Please read that again to let it sink in. Toxins can cause increased estrogen (the bad one), inflammation, immune issues, hormone disruption, reproductive problems, nervous system issues, other diseases and cancer.
Common concerns about non-toxic products
Non-toxic products have become increasingly popular as people become more aware of the potential negative health effects of traditional household cleaners and personal care products. However, there are still some common concerns that people have about non-toxic products.
One concern is that non-toxic products may not be as effective as their traditional counterparts. While it’s true that some non-toxic products may require a little more elbow grease to get the job done, there are many effective non-toxic products available on the market today. In fact, many people find that non-toxic products work just as well, if not better, than traditional products.
Another concern is that non-toxic products may be more expensive than traditional products. While it’s true that some non-toxic products may be more expensive, there are also many affordable options available. Additionally, it’s important to remember that non-toxic products can often be used in smaller quantities than traditional products, which can help offset the cost.
Finally, some people worry that non-toxic products may not be as readily available as traditional products. While it’s true that non-toxic products may not be as widely available in all areas, there are online retailers that specialize in non-toxic products. Additionally, many traditional retailers are beginning to stock non-toxic products as well.
Overall, while there may be some concerns about non-toxic products, there are many benefits to using them. Non-toxic products can help improve indoor air quality, reduce exposure to harmful chemicals, and promote a healthier environment for us and our families. So, if you’re considering making the switch to non-toxic products, don’t let these concerns hold you back!
Are you ready for my recommendation?
Remember it doesn’t matter if the chemical touches your skin or not, the fumes alone will let it into your body.
Start with the most toxic cleaners or spray cleaners and work your way to replacing all of them as soon as you are able to.
It is no longer an “if” something will happen, it is a “when”. Only about 1 % of chemicals are ever tested for safety out of about 84,000 chemicals.
Trial and error of what products work and what products don’t, is very costly. I had a closet full of products and a lot of money wasted. As many of those didn’t work.
What works?
I’m here to give you my recommendations to cut the trial cost, plus with a 60 guarantee there’s nothing to lose. I have broken it up into categories, so it is easy for you to pick a section of interest.
Here is my list of My Favorite Non-Toxic Products. If you have any questions, please use the contact me portion under the Home tab at the top.
Many people think, oh the price is high but as I mentioned above, they are backed with an amazing guarantee and cleaners and laundry products are concentrated and the cloths last for years.
I still have some of my originals from 11 years ago. The store-bought knock-off brands would never last that long, unless you never used them. Enjoy safer, healthier and faster cleaning y’all. Enjoy your journey!
