We've all heard the detriment of our bodies and our environment against chemicals in many non-environmentally friendly, detergents and household cleaners.

Ingredients laundry detergent key toxic
On the website of the Ministry of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in their article from 1999 entitled "Key Features of laundry detergent" they warn that the main ingredients in most laundry detergents (with names like harmless, dyes, brighteners The surfactants, builders) are considered toxic to humans and animals in a multitude of serious problems, including releasing hazardous gases, destroying ecosystems and polluting, and cause cancer.

I do not know about you, but in my family very busy adolescent and both parents working, we do lots of laundry. Often, these same chemicals and worse, are in our cleaning products, disinfectants and detergents for cleaning. That is why I choose green cleaning products.

The worst offenders
Two of the worst toxins are phenol and formaldehyde in many disinfectants and cleaners. (Formaldehyde, the same chemical used to preserve corpses.) According to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), an action group on the environment, "Formaldehyde is used in some ... disinfectants, antibacterial soaps and cosmetics same. formaldehyde has been classified as a probable human carcinogen by the EPA .... Exposure to formaldehyde at home has been linked to respiratory allergies in children. "

According to the Department of Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines for states that phenol Phenol is a carcinogen, but it does cause cancer in rats in a short period of time! Needless to say I am livid that sounds like a "carcinogen" if you ask me, I am taking steps to clean up (excuse the pun sad) my house all these poisons.

Green education
Found my wonderful blogs a premium green cleaning and site information and advice spirits close to myself more and more together and stimulate each other in Green-Ness ". Sometimes there is conflicting information around, or worse, "rumors" and controversy sometimes there were even about some "green" manufacturers not really tell the truth in labeling!

I try to be above all this information as a wife, mother, housewife, and environmentalist. I want to be "aware" of my own life and I want to share with you - to do my part to help "green up" the cleaning industry. Our vote counts and every time you or I ' purchases, we are talking about.

There are some great, green products out there on the market, and now even finding their way into Mainstream grocery stores. I reviewed one by one, to try to give you the good, the bad, and "dirt" on them.

My review of cleaning natural product blog
The most important rule I learned is this: Read the label!
Reading between the lines and know the terminology, so you'll know exactly what they mean. For example, "perfume" typically means a synthetic fragrance, but "essential oil" means the real thing! Or "natural" can actually refer to an individual, but toxic "ingredient. I started this blog to my own research as a cause, consumers concerned about the environment.

Sometimes I make my own laundry - and today I wanted to "examine my own recipe." PS I am not a super, I found that taking several hours to several months to stir this recipe "was very easy.

My own DIY Laundry
I combined some of the recipes found online that are simple, I like simple. He then went to the supermarket and I went to buy a house just a few "normal" with which to mix my clothing detergent. What was.
