Sunflower Naturals Non-Toxic Cleaning Guide Open your world to a life of natural cleaning solutions based on 15 years of research through the National Library of Medicine and Environmental Protection Agency. Discover how inexpensive and easy it is to clean your home naturally to reduce risks associated with common chemicals in conventional cleaning products such as asthma, allergies and contact dermatitis. "Cleaning compounds are generally just tested to make sure that they don't kill people or cause cancer," noted Dr. David Rosenstreich, director of the division of allergy and immunology in the department of medicine at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. "But, these products may not be safe for asthmatics to breathe in. And, if it's not safe for asthmatics, it's probably not safe for anyone else." Home Spray Cleaners Could Raise Asthma Risk: Spritzing just once a week boosted odds by 50%, study found Click to view list of recipes... Welcome! With all the uncertainty surrounding various health issues associated with conventional cleaning products, I started using 'green' options for cleaning products when my first child was born in 1994. I was concerned about having a closet full of harmful cleaning products with an inquisitive child in the house. I took all the cleaning products out of my closet in the kitchen and bath and noticed that none of them had an ingredient list, all of them said to use with proper ventilation, all of them had some unrealistic expectation of disposal method. After reading all of the precautions and such, I was happy to have them out of my home. Now what? How was I supposed to clean the house when it seemed that everything I was using to clean the house dumped chemical risks on all those freshly dusted surfaces that my son put his hands on and then his hands into his mouth? It may have looked clean, but my house suddenly felt like it had been sprayed with scary things from a chemical sub-station! I started doing research and mixing concoctions. The most important things I found out about natural cleaning products right away were: There are very few safety issues - important with small children Natural products are just as effective as chemical products. Most chemical concoctions are derived from petroleum. I cannot get all ingredient information on most conventional products. Natural products are a LOT less expensive. Ability to re-use containers is easier on the environment. Less plastic is less dependence on petroleum resources. I have fewer allergy problems and no more headaches. I considered selling cleaning products on the site. However, I felt it was really quite silly to have people pay for shipping commonly available ingredients. Natural cleaning products are very easy to make, save money, save time, and reduce risks. You will love the way your home smells and feels with a natural clean. You really will notice the lack of chemical haze - and it feels very good. This book is designed to help you gain the knowledge you need to clean your home with natural cleaning products. It will guide you through choosing the right ingredients for different cleaning tasks to creating your own concoctions. Most of it you can skip, and just put the recipes together. The recipes reference the ingredient information, so you will just learn as you go. Enjoy Cleaning….naturally!
