Mission Clean: Refreshing Garbage Bins with Sol-U-Guard

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

This morning’s mission was simple yet essential: clean out the garbage and recycling bins before the heat hit! Armed with my trusty, no-toxin Sol-U-Guard disinfectant, I was ready to tackle the task head-on.

The Power of Sol-U-Guard

What makes Sol-U-Guard stand out? This EPA-registered botanical disinfectant is powered by thyme oil and citric acid, effectively killing over 99.9% of common household germs without the need for harsh chemicals like chlorine bleach or quats.

Time-Tested Thyme Oil

Thyme oil isn’t just a kitchen staple; it’s nature’s immune system! The thyme plant uses this oil to ward off microorganisms, effectively killing them before they invade.

Safe, Natural Citric Acid

Every drop of citric acid in Sol-U-Guard is processed with care, taking over 100 hours to complete, including 35 hours dedicated to filtering. This meticulous process ensures you’re using a product that’s both effective and safe for your home.

How Sol-U-Guard Works

So, how does Sol-U-Guard work its magic? Many viruses are protected by a lipid envelope. When you spray Sol-U-Guard, it breaks down this envelope, effectively killing the virus and keeping your home safe.

A Fresh and Spotless Result

After scrubbing and disinfecting, my bins are now spotless and have never smelled better! Disinfecting your home has never been easier—just spray it on any hard, non-porous surface and let it dry. It kills 99.9% of household germs using the power of thyme oil and citric acid, making your cleaning routine a breeze.

A Thoughtful Moment

As I was scrubbing away, I couldn’t help but think of my friend, who recently mentioned her dislike for seeing garbage in the trash can. It’s funny how certain people pop into your mind during everyday chores, isn’t it?

Question for You: Who’s someone that randomly comes to mind when you’re doing a simple chore?

Did You Know?

Here’s a startling fact: a single bacteria cell can multiply into over a billion in just 24 hours! Keeping your space clean and disinfected is not just about aesthetics; it’s crucial for your health.

Transform Your Cleaning Routine with Tub & Tile

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Tub & Tile is one of my favorite products from my online Wellness Store. This product is so easy to use in the bathroom and kitchen! Just spray, give it a few minutes to do its thing, scrub with the scrubby side of the sponge and rinse. Boom! Then squeegee. That’s the most important step to dry it and leave no spots. I find if you squeegee the walls after each shower it’s always clean. It’s a done deal every time.

But I have found other uses for this happy little product. Try it on pots and pans. Yep. It really works. This morning, after breakfast, I went to wash this pan and it was TOUGH, even with an SOS pad! That burnt on gunk was NOT coming off even after soaking in hot water. I sprayed some Tub & Tile in it and let it sit five minutes while I scrubbed the sinks and wiped down counters. Then gave it a scrub and it washed away!

I LOVE Tub & Tile from my online Wellness Store. One 8oz bottle of concentrate is $6.99—which makes six 16oz bottles when you add water to the fill line in the spray bottle for making it only $1.17 per bottle! NO toxins, and you don’t need to hold your breath or even use gloves. It’s safe for your lungs and your home.

Embracing a Healthier Lifestyle: My 22-Year Journey with Wellness Store Products

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

After 22 years, I am still loving the Wellness Store products I purchase each month. My journey began slowly, swapping everyday items one at a time. Back then, the selection was limited to about 50 products, but now there are over 400, and the company keeps expanding its offerings!

Are You Making Healthier Choices for Your Family?

I decided to prioritize my family’s health 22 years ago, and I haven’t looked back. It brings me joy to know that we are using healthier, less toxic alternatives compared to what we used before. Improving our overall health was my goal, and it just made sense to switch to this brand and ditch the toxins.

And let’s not forget about the clean beef options—they are a game changer!

The Hidden Dangers of Conventional Laundry Detergents

I used to rely on brands like Tide, Gain, and Baby Dreft, unaware of their toxicity. Consider this: you are in contact with your laundry soap 24/7. You wear the clothes all day, dry off with towels, and sleep on bed linens treated with these products. Every day and every night, your skin absorbs what it comes into contact with. In just 26 seconds, those substances can enter your bloodstream, affecting your health.

Tide and Gain may smell good, but they often harbor harmful chemicals. Just look at the warnings on the labels—red flags that I ignored until my children started experiencing acne and eczema. That’s when I began searching for a safer brand.

The Harsh Reality of Conventional Detergents

Many laundry detergents, including pods, have been linked to various health issues, such as hormone disruption, fertility problems, rashes, lung damage, and even chemical burns. Here’s what you’re actually paying for with Tide:

  • Water: Over 80%
  • Sodium Alcohol Ethoxylate Sulfate
  • Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate
  • Fragrance Perfume and many more harmful ingredients.

It’s alarming to think about the environmental factors contributing to cancers that can’t be blamed on genetics.

A Better Alternative

The MelaPower line is just one of over 400 products I’ve swapped out on my Wellness journey. Two decades later, I can confidently say that I love this company and its products just as much now as I did when I first discovered them!

I’ve seen many lives improve because I was open to learning about simple changes, like replacement shopping that saves time and money.

My current detergent boasts a formula with zero:

  • Chlorine bleach
  • Formaldehyde
  • Phthalates
  • Parabens
  • Chemical fragrances

What You Get with the Wellness Shop Club

With Wellness Shop Club, you receive:

  • Coconut oil-derived surfactants
  • Plant enzymes
  • Essential oils

The containers are half the size of the competition because the products are super concentrated, which also reduces shipping costs. And yes, everything is made in America!

We have ditched Tide, Seventh Generation, Gain, Dreft, and all the other toxic brands, and we have never looked back.

NONYL PHENOL ETHOXYLATE

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

WHAT? This is absolutely MIND BLOWING

There is actually an ingredient in Tide, Arm & Hammer, Gain, Purex & more called –

NONYL PHENOL ETHOXLATE and it stimulates the growth of breast cancer cells. It’s also a known endocrine and hormone disruptor that has been BANNED in EU.

The illusion that these big corrupt corporations have given us over the years is that we don’t have any other safe affordable options. That is so WRONG!

I switched my detergent 20 years ago. I switched to a trusted USA based manufacturer that costs only $19.49 for 96 loads and $35.98 for 192 loads. It not only works better, but it is safer for you and your family as well as the environment.

When I compared pricing I found:

BrandCostNumber of Loads
Tide Liquid $3596 loads
Tide Pods $24102 loads
Gain Liquid$25-2696 loads
Gain Pods$25 102 loads
MelaPower$19.4996 loads
MelaPower$35.98192 loads

It’s such a simple solution once you know the risk & figure out it saves money. I tell friends all the time, it’s just switching stores. #smallchangesbigimpact

Blessed

I am both proud and blessed to represent an American company that was voted “Most Trusted Brands” and “America’s Best Store” by USA Today and Plant-A Insights (one of the leading research, data and analytics firms).

I’ve been shopping at The Wellness Store for over 20 years and I shudder to think what my family’s health would look like had I not found it.

“Grateful” doesn’t even close to describing how I feel.

“He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.”

Day 18: Exceed Toothpolish

Yes, I keep my sparkle and shine with toothpaste. After all, the mouth is the gateway to overall body health and a common entry point for germs and bacteria. There is a strong connection between oral health and overall health, including the immune system! 
I love how this toothpaste keeps my mouth and gums healthy and my breath fresh even on my busiest days. Everyone needs it and it makes another great stocking stuffer.

This natural toothpaste isn’t filled with toxic junk and is perfect for sensitive teeth and gums and it’s half the price of its natural counterparts at $4.59.



When Clean Isn’t Safe: An Eye-Opening Experience

Cindy’s Story
I grew up like most people—using all the familiar store-bought cleaners for my home, dishes, laundry, and even personal care. I was also exposed to secondhand smoke from birth and later became a smoker myself (thankfully, I quit after 10 years). I now live with emphysema.
About 14 years ago, a friend from church told me about The Wellness Company. I figured I’d give it a try and started with the Value Pack. Little by little, I swapped out the products I was used to—and I was amazed. Everything I tried worked better than what I had been using!

Then, a couple of years in, I had a moment I’ll never forget. I walked into my house and was hit with a STRONG smell of bleach—turns out my roommate couldn’t find the Tub & Tile cleaner and grabbed an old bottle of Scrubbing Bubbles I thought I’d tossed. He was cleaning upstairs, and I could smell it all the way downstairs.
That was my wake-up call.

I’m so thankful I made the switch when I did—not just for my own lungs, but for my pets too. If you’re still using harsh chemicals or are living with COPD or similar conditions, please consider making a change. Safer products do make a difference. Your life could depend on it—mine certainly does.

We are here to help you make healthier choices.
