Living Less Toxic (2)

HOME…Many of the cleaners available are chock full of synthetic chemicals. I can only think that they must do so much harm to anyone who inhales them, especially with long term exposure. I like the idea that if you can ingest something and not get really sick, then it is a safer option to have around the house. (Not that I’m generally into ingesting cleaning products!).
There are some great cleaning products around now that are much more environmentally sensitive and safe, which can only be a plus especially if you also have children in the house.
I really like Enviro Clean. They make a really strong spray made out of oranges that cleans everything so well. I also use their dishwashing liquid. I think they make other products as well, but I haven’t tried them yet.
For laundry I use Seventh Generation powder, it works really well. Even for stains, you can scrub it on the stain, then leave it overnight to soak before washing. Perfect for my baby's little pooey stains.
I also like the look of Cinderella cleaning products, but I haven’t tried them.
It’s so nice to have a chemical-free clean house.

The Beauty Of Organic Cotton

The beauty of buying organic clothing is that we are supporting the farmers that are using sustainable farming techniques. Organic cotton farmers do not use any synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or genetically modified cotton. Their practices are a viable choice to actually give back to the Earth, rather than poisoning it. Certified organic cotton is a wonderful choice for clothing and bedding, especially for those with sensitivities, as the toxic residue found in conventional cotton can aggravate a variety of allergies.

More on Fabrics

Something else surprising and also good to be aware of is that synthetic fabrics are derived from petrochemical or natural gas which actually let off gas for the lifetime of the clothing.
Synthetic fabrics are treated with chemicals in their production. These chemicals can leach into the environment with hazardous effects for water, soil, air and wildlife.
It’s scary to think of the effects of the mass production of clothing made of synthetic fabrics, not to mention the amount of toxins sprayed into the world everyday in the form of pesticides.
Supporting the manufacture of organic clothing is a huge step in helping to create a cleaner world for generations to come.
