Consider this a friendly warning:

If a product needs a Safety Alert tag and there are safer, not to mention cheaper, alternatives out there, why are we even debating?

I guess it’s because not everyone has discovered the secret to finding these better options. But don’t worry, I’m here to change that!

I’ll continue to be the outspoken advocate that I am, laughing all the way! Only 2% of the US shops where I do, which means I’ve got 98% of you to enlighten.

And I’ll do it with no apologies, just pure love!

Cleaning the bathroom

Fighting Germs

We are always hearing about germs. How about the toxins in your house when you clean with bleech and all those other chemicals.

A 20-year independent study reveals a shocking fact. Using national brand cleaning products as little as once per week is as damaging to lungs capacity as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day!

I ditched them all and now use natural, safer, more effective ingredients that are plant derived and biodegradable.

Do you use Dawn dish soap?

It has often been mentioned that Dawn dish soap has formaldehyde in it and I often receive a response something like, “Surely not! Wildlife rescues use Dawn to wash wildlife after commercial oil tanker spills. I remember the commercials!”

Dawn Dish Soap is toxic because it contains harmful ingredients like Triclosan, 1,4-dioxane, synthetic dye, fragrance, and the dreaded methylisothiazolinone. These ingredients can cause mild to severe health conditions like nerve and liver damage, skin irritation, and allergic reactions.

You see, companies are not required to list all ingredients on personal use products, just industry level. Did you know formaldehyde has about 14 different names? If you research, you will see methylisothiazolinone and Methylchloroisothiazolinone are both forms of formaldehyde. 

Many dish soap brands have labels that state the product is “biodegradable” with Methylisothiazlinone and Methylchloroisothiazolinone listed as ingredients. If you are, like me, are allergic to formaldehyde, you may want to make certain you are avoiding that these chemicals to prevent skin reactions. 

Dawn soap is also toxic to wildlife, especially the aquatic community, because it poisons the water. This liquid cleaning agent contains 1,4-dioxane, a substance renowned for polluting or contaminating the water.

Methylisothiazolinone is highly toxic for freshwater and estuarine organisms. Dawn also contains plenty of other dangerous chemicals. Pei-14 PEG-24/Ppg-16 Copolymer has links to cancer, organ effects, skin irritation, and damage to your vision.

Even the company EWG, which allows companies to buy good ratings, give Dawn a D rating!

That’s why I threw away all my Dawn and switched to Lemon Brite, because I want to ensure my family’s health.

The Cleanest Clothes—Even in Cold Water

Danger Lurking in Your Cabinets

Many pop;ar cleaning products can harm you and your families. Sure, they clean and leave your house smelling great and fresh, but they can also mess with the neurons in your brain and nervous system. Many of their ingredients are hormone disruptors, Yup, that’s right, you heard right. These ingredients love to be absorbed your body’s stored fat along with you largest organ, your skin!

I’m ever so grateful for a dear friendr who recommended I try out a shop club that she used. She believed it would help me live a true wellness lifestyle. What she told me made so much sense, that I decided to shop for the things I’ve been shopping for at the local big box stores.

I pinch myself from time to time to think about how I made this decision to switch stores nearly 20 years ago. Honestly, this shop club has kept me healthier than ever and saved me tons of money over the years.

So, as I share this life changing shop club with others, it surprises me how stuck they are on traditional poisonous products that do more harm than good. I have found that educating the end consumer is what I’m suppose to do. I pray for hearts to be open to learn that what you breathe in matters.

What a difference shopping healthier products makes! I love shopping here, and all the information I’ve learned over the last 20 years! Dangerous things should come with warning labels, but often they don’t.
I’m so glad there’s a one-stop shop for better safer products for me and my family.

Often, we don’t see the harm these products cause until many years later. Every so often, I hear a new illness has been linked to the use of these common every day home products. Educating people on how ingredients matter isn’t an easy task. But possible for those who are  tired of being tired to try a safer brand.
