LUNG HEALTH MATTERS 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Our airways are exposed constantly to toxins that can cause chronic lung diseases.

Our lungs suffer an estimated 1%-2% decline in function every year beginning somewhere between 25 and 35 years of age.

Research suggests that this is attributed to changes in lung tissue, changes in muscle strength, exposure to various toxins in the home and air pollution. 

If your glass/mirror cleaner is a typical store bought brand, it likely contains Ammonia. It’s found in Windex, Glass Plus and even Lysol Disinfectant Spray. Ammonia is a caustic chemical that irritates and burns the skin and eyes and is highly dangerous to inhale. 

It doesn’t play well with others. If mixed with a cleaner that contains chlorine bleach, it can create chloramine gas, which can be deadly.

Why not make one of your 2024 goals to convert your home over to 100% green cleaning products? I did this in 2002 and have never looked back! My cleaning people love me too!

I often take this magical duo for granted. In fact, I use it every single day…and surprisingly, I don’t share it very often…and that’s just not fair,

This dishwasher duo is powered with natural enzymes; contains no formaldehyde; has no chlorine; no parabens; no phthalates and no chlorine. Making it healthier for you and safer for your home.

Cleaning the bathroom

Between hard water stains and soap scum, the bathroom is one of the most difficult rooms to keep clean and can become the most toxic due to common ingredients found in everyday household cleaners.

EcoSense gives you the clean you want without compromising your family’s safety! Powered by plant-derived cleaners, our EcoSense products easily melt away hard water stains, cut through toothpaste residue, and remove unsightly stains—all without leaving behind harsh fumes or harmful residues.

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.

Clean sinks — safer for your home

I cleaned up my sink with this amazing plant-based spiced apple cleaner from my Wellness online shopping club..

It removed the rusty stains in my kitchen sink in no time! Besides, it smells so good getting in with the fall season. It seems mind-blowing to see the results — so shiny and clean!

Clean floors for me!

So, I bought the Clean and Gleam spray mop from my online Wellness shopping club and my hardwood floors have never been cleaner or shinier! This product is safe for my family and dog.

Why? Because the floor cleaning and polishing products are plant-based with no harmful chemicals or toxins. I am so thankful I made the switch to cleaner, greener products that are not only safe for my pet, but myself as well

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.
