hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Did you know toxins can be found in many brand name Fabric Softeners:?
It’s true. I was surprised when I found out that one potentially carcinogenic chemicals could be in my laundry.
Clothing and blankets that touch our skin and who doesn’t inhale that fresh clean fabric scent?
Her’s a list of chemicals that can be found in Snuggles brand fabric softener:

• Alpha-Terpineol – Linked to disorders of the brain and nervous system, loss of muscle control, depression, and headaches
• Benzyl acetate – Linked to cancer of the pancreas
• Benzyl alcohol – Linked to headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, depression, and disorders of the brain and nervous system.
• Chloroform- Listed on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list as a carcinogen and neurotoxin (toxic to the brain and nervous system)
•Ethanol –Listed on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list for its ability to cause brain and nervous system disorder
• Ethyl Acetate – Causes headaches and is on the EPA Hazardous Waste list
• Linalool – Causes loss of muscle coordination, nervous system and brain disorders, and depression
• Pentane – Causes headaches nausea, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, and depression

I just want you to know Safer options are a switch away.

ECOSENSE CLEANING HACK!

Use Tub & Tile to remove stubborn, old, set-in underarm stains.
Simply spray Tub & Tile directly on the stains, let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, and wash as normal.

Baby detergent

Draft baby detergent, is’s good, right? Well, not necessarily. Many of you probably use a different detergent for your baby’s clothes, and you probably assume this detergent is a special formulation. This is very rarely the case

Any laundry detergent you use will leave a residue on clothing and linens, which is then inhaled and absorbed (via skin) by the people who come in contact with it…and most conventional detergents, be they marketed for baby clothes or grownup clothes, contain some combination of the following:

• synthetic detergents, which are often made of petrochemicals;

• phenols (established endocrine disruptors, of which BPA is the most notorious);

• fragrance, which often contains phthalates;

• optical brighteners, which are often made from benzene, a definite carcinogen;

• bleach, which contains chlorine (an environmental toxin–and possibly a carcinogen and endocrine disruptor);

• phosphates, which break down minerals and render detergent more effective, at the cost of harmful environmental ramifications.

Another one of the many reasons I switched stores.

A quick comparison

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Of laundry detergents.

First, let me mention the the only thing these two brands have in common is that they both wash the same number of loads.
96 loads — and that’s as far as it goes. The size difference is due to water. You’re paying for all the extra water in the package when you buy big name brands!

Not only that…

• The one on the left is powered with natural plant enzymes, is non-toxic and eco-friendly.

• The one on the right is filled with chemicals that can make you and your family sick.

• The one on the right costs 28 cents per load while the eco-friendly option is 19 cents per load! A difference of nine cents. Its may seem small potatoes, but just one load per week adds up. Besides, who really only does one load per week? My tiny package lasts me 11 months (I’m a one person plus chihuahua household) an average of two loads per week. An estimated savings of $187 on just detergent in 20 years. I think these products, detergent, fabric softener and brightener have helped my asthma over the years. With no formaldehyde or other harmful chemicals when compared to the brand-name laundry products I have been breathing easier for the past 20 years using Mela Power and companion products.

If you’ve thought about shopping for EcoSense solutions, but think that it somehow wouldn’t be worth it, or it would be too complicated, my advice is to just see for yourself!

I’m so confident… if you don’t love it, I’ll eat my socks!

My Two Cents Worth

If there’s one thing I would convert to better, cleaner and greener items it would be that supermarket laundry, cleaning aisle.
Did you know that it takes only 26 seconds for whatever your skin touches to enter your bloodstream?!
That’s mind-boggling.

The brand I use is made with zero carcinogens, zero parabens, and is free of so many other ingredients that you can’t pronounce.
I say, if you can’t pronounce it, it’s likely not something you want or need in your system.

And that’s my two cents.

Do You Want a Safer Household for Your Kids?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Of course you do! So did I. It’s not enough to make certain there are no sharp or hard objects that can hurt them, or simply making a clean home. Did you know many of our old-time favorite brands can be toxic to our children and pets?

Well many are. So what can you do?

You can simplify the products in your home easily and get rid of all the harsh chemical-laden products you use for cleaning!
It will help you clean the air in your living spaces. The image shows how easily you can make the change and keep you children’s, pet’s and your lungs healthier.

The image shows just a few examples of what my favorite Wellness Shopping Club replaces.

When you make the change, cleaning feels better—the rashes and eczema I had went away; the environment seems fresher—no chemical or fake flowery smells; and you find your family’s health, hair and skin has started to clear up! All because you changed cleaning and other household products.

I don’t know about you, but it makes me thankful that I can improve my family’s health with simple changes! Oh, and another thing, these products costs less and it’s concentrated so they last a whole lot longer and saves money ass well!

My laundry smells amazing

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

and it’s toxin free!

Listen, I love you enough to say it BOLDLY & LOUDLY. This is the better way to shop.

No junk ingredients. No fillers and highly concentrated so tiny petite packaging that doesn’t leak all over your laundry room.

It’s also the only stuff I will use on my families skin! Smells heavenly and is EXCELLENT on hard stains!

I feel like every dollar counts any time of the year!

Tide — .42 cents a load.

Dreft — .41 cents a load.

Melapower — .20 cents a load.

Works better too.

One Reason Why I Would Never Use Any Other Household Products

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

In June of 2010 for an in-home presentation I put a squirt of Melapower Laundry detergent and some water into a clear eight-ounce preserving jar and fastened the lid. I always made sure to have a bottle with Melapower and water as well as the “competition” in a separate bottle. The competition? Tide with water. I did this so, whenever I did an in-home or a product training, I could show the differences between the two products. These bottles also showed how Tide was full of chemicals and Melapower was chemical free. You could see with your own eyes the difference between the two products and how Melapower is definitely chemical free! I always labeled the bottles to show no matter how long the Melapower was in the bottle nothing changed. unlike the Tide bottle.

GUESS WHAT?

I found that bottle on Saturday tucked away on the back of a shelf in my office. Believe it or not, the water has dev eloped a slight blueish tinge to it, but nothing else. I haven’t opened the bottle and I have no plans to open it. This product has spent fourteen years in the bottle and there isn’t any scum or bacteria growing. There isn’t any mold growing either. But that bottle that with Tide and water, often had mold growing and the metal lid rusted through. The label & the lid on the bottle with Melapower are still on the bottle

The best product wins, as the saying goes “The Proof Is In The Pudding!!

The Cleanest Clothes—Even in Cold Water

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Did you know that washing your laundry in cold water helps protect bright colors and helps clothes last longer?

Washing in cold water requires 90% less energy than washing in hot water. Each household that makes the switch to cold-water washing eliminates about 1,600 lbs. of carbon dioxide emissions a year.

Switch to MelaPower with confidence. Its triple-enzyme formula is incredibly effective at removing dirt and stains in cold water.

Amazing Laundry Soap

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

I cannot stress how amazing our laundry soap is! I am constantly outside gardening and playing with the dirt in my yard. You can only imagine the laundry and the stains that come with my relaxing pastime! But my
brand lets nothing get in the way! It cleans like you wouldn’t’t believe.

You know, I’ve tried other I’ve tried many other company’s laundry soaps and they aren’t as good or even come close! I’ll forever be grateful to have the Wellness Company on my side.
