Is Vinegar the right choice?

Just in case you’re using vinegar as a disinfectant…it’s not nearly as powerful as Sol-U-Guard, which is the only EPA-registered plant-based disinfectant that DOES kill 99.9% of germs and viruses, including Influenza, SARS, COVID-19, E-coli, and more!

Undiluted vinegar doesn’t kill viruses sufficiently enough to qualify as an EPA registered disinfectant, and it doesn’t kill dangerous bacterial like staphylococcus. Once you dilute vinegar as part of a DIY cleaning solution, you’re reducing the virus-killing power even more. Vinegar is not an EPA-registered disinfectant and it’s not powerful enough to be used for sanitizing settings like childcare, schools, or even your own home. Vinegar does not kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria so you’ll want to swap vinegar for an EPA- registered disinfectant when you want to protect your family from viruses like COVID-19. Vinegar is not sufficiently effective to be on the EPAs List N – the disinfects approved agains SARS CoV-2 (the cause of COVID-19).

We’re often exposed to viruses in high-traffic areas where we’re coming onto contact with droplets from other people, and where it is challenging to keep your hands clean. Due to a dubious level of commitment to hand washing and a penchant for unhygienic sharing practices, children are great germ vectors! This makes childcare settings and schools a high priority when it comes to killing viruses—and vinegar isn’t potent enough to help in this area. While vinegar can be use to physically remove dirt and grime, vinegar does not kill germs thoroughly enough to be used as a disinfectant or sanitizer in schools. Yet, vinegar can be caustic when used in high concentrations.

A great way to kill viruses and cut down on hitchhiking germs that are coming home from school is to spray items down daily with an EPA-registered disinfectant Like the one I use, Sol-U-Guard.

Sol-U-Guard kills 99.9% of household germs using the ingredients thyme oil and citric acid.

Thyme-tested thyme oil. The thyme plant uses thyme oil as an I’mmune system—killing microorganisms before they an invade.

Naturally safe and effective Citric Acid. Every drop of citric acid that goes into each bottle of Sol-U-Guard Botanical takes over 100 hours to process, including 35 hours spent on filtering alone.

Sol-U-Guard literally makes germs spill their guts. Many viruses are surrounded by a lipid envelope. When Sol-U-Guard breaks down this envelope, the virus is killed. Soluguard is all-natural and patent protected (#7642227)

Doesn’t your family deserve a fighting chance?

Clean homes. Clean streams. Clean air. Clean conscience.

That’s our philosophy on cleaning.

For more than 30 years, my favorite shopping club’s innovative cleaning products have used natural and biodegradable ingredients that clean even more effectively without damaging the environment. None of these cleaners contain chlorine bleach, ammonia, formaldehyde, or other toxic chemicals. As a result, none of them requires a childproof cap.

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts they are also the market leader in concentrated formulas. By making their cleaning products as concentrated as possible, they use less plastic packaging, less fuel in shipping, and generate less waste. They believe that adding fillers to cleaning products is a waste of resources and customers’ money.

Larger bottles not only waste plastic, but water is heavy and costly to ship. Packaging and shipping water is an expensive and wasteful endeavor—and completely unnecessary. Almost every household in the developed world has water available at the sink at almost no cost to the customer. These unprecedented, super concentrated formulas are the result of state-of-the-art manufacturing and careful, scientific selection of ingredients.

For years, I’ve been using EcoSense cleaners and I wouldn’t be without them . Each one helps make my house sparkle and smell great.

Here’s a closer look at each one:

Tough & Tender® 12x Super-Concentrated All-Purpose Cleaner

  • Safe for cleaning nearly all surfaces—granite, marble, even natural stone
  • No caustic chemicals, no safety caps required
  • Wipe material is biodegradable—a rarity in the marketplace
  • Replaces other all-purpose cleaners and wipes like Formula 409® and Clorox® Green Works®

Tub & Tile™ 12x Super-Concentrated Bathroom Cleaner

  • No chlorine bleach, toxic chemicals, or harsh fumes
  • Spray on, let sit a few minutes, then scrub and rinse off
  • Replaces Tilex®, Comet®, Scrubbing Bubbles®, Soft Scrub®, and Clorox® Bleach Foamer

No Work® 12x Super-Concentrated Daily Shower Cleaner

  • Simply spray on wet surfaces after every use
  • Keeps showers and tubs clean
  • Replaces Tilex® Daily Shower Cleaner® and Arm & Hammer® Clean Shower®

Clear Power® 12x Super-Concentrated Glass Cleaner

  • Dramatically improved cleaning power with naturally derived, ammonia-free cleaning agents
  • New, fresher fragrance is preferred 4-to-1 over the previous scent
  • Works best with our lint-free Microfiber Glass Cleaning Cloths

Each of these great products offers all the cleaning power I love in a small, more condensed size not found anywhere else. For safer formulas, better value, and unmatched innovation, nothing’s better for my home and family than EcoSense.

The labels make it easy to understand how to use the products, what’s in them, and what makes them the best on the market. All the information I need to know is clearly visible, making it easier than ever to keep my home safe and clean. I just can’t help share this information,especially since it’s National Cleaning week.

Are you as passionate about your cleaning products?

National Spring cleaning week

It’s National Spring Cleaning week

After a new, independent study concluded that cleaning your home as little as once a week with national brand cleaners was as dangerous for your lungs as smoking a pack a day for twenty years, some parents are seriously wondering if cleaning the house is worth it at all—and who would blame them?

If adult lungs suffer when we breathe in the dangerous chemicals of national brand cleaning products, what about the developing lungs of children?

Yes, it’s just what you suspected: toxic chemicals are extremely dangerous for your children.

Here is what you need to know about hazardous chemicals and your child’s lungs:

• While toxins threaten everyone’s health, infants and children are especially sensitive to toxins and are very susceptible to air pollution

• Children are more vulnerable to chemicals (pound-by-pound because of their smaller body weight)

• Children’s bodies are less able to detoxify because their organs are not fully developed

If the hazardous chemicals in national brand cleaners are affecting adult respiratory health, imagine what they are doing to children who live in the same home, eat in the same kitchen, bathe in the same bathrooms, walk on the same floors, and breathe the same air! Their little lungs—so pure and clean—should be breathing air that is equally as pure and clean.

Giving up on cleaning all together (as tempting as that may sound some days) is not the answer. Living in filth comes with its own frightening threats to children’s health.

The good news is, it’s possible to provide your little ones with the home environment they deserve—freshly scrubbed, tidy and clean (even disinfected)—without harsh, toxic, organ-damaging chemicals.

EcoSense products are scientifically formulated to get your house sparkling clean without ammonia, chlorine bleach, quaternary disinfectants, or other dangerous chemicals. In fact, these cleaning products are so safe that no child safety caps are required.

These products are so good, they are all I’ve used for the past 15 years! During that time asthma and allergy attacks have been reduced to almost non-existent and this is with reduced medication. I’m healthier and saving money. You too can have a clean home that is also toxin-free! You only need to switch stores and get EcoSense the safer, more effective alternative.

It’s National Cleaning Week!
