Down-to-Earth Living


So who enjoys climbing into a bathtub that still has the gritty residue of Comet lingering?  Or how about using Pine Sol that can be so strong, you have to evacuate the children from the cleaning area?  And what about sneezing, coughing, or just the urge to sit down right after you've tossed 'carpet fresh' throughout your home?

When using certain cleaning products on the market, it's actually suggested that we use them in a ventilated place.  If a child were to get hold of it, their insides could burn, possibly make them blind, or be deadly.  There is a long term effect to using toxic chemicals, particularly when dealing with infants and young children, whom are especially vulnerable.

Where you aware that there are many alternative products (many sitting at your house now) that can be used to clean, disinfect, and freshen up your home in a safer manner?

It's your home, so why create a toxic environment for your family.  This is especially important for those of us that struggle with sensitive skin, asthma and allergies.  I want to share some simple cleaning tips with you.  Believe me when I say, "it's just as easy, a little cheaper, and just as effective as what you've been doing, but without the guilt."

Read further to see what I use to create a safer home by making a few simple updates to how you clean.  By the way, I have been using natural cleaning methods for nearly 5 years, and they work!

Products I keep around my house at all times: white vinegar,baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice, and rubbing alcohol.  With these products alone, I am able to the following household chores and more; deodorize and clean  the carpet, mop, polish furniture, scrub sink/toilet bowl/tub, and clean kitchen drain.  I will later discuss products you can make at home.

Let me know if you need help with creating a safer cleaner home.  Also if you have tried any natural cleaning, tell me what you loved/hated.

Kelp Powder - Mineral Hair Treatment

View my sea kelp natural hair treatment I tried over the weekend.  It is a simple process that offers great results- shine and additional minerals that are great for the hair.  My concoction included kelp powder, aloe vera juice, and oils.  I decided to use coconut and red palm oil in my mixture, but feel free to use whatever oils work well with your hair- almond, apricot, etc.  Leave the mixture on for 2 to 4 hours.  It's easy to wash out, and the smell is minimal.  The first pic of my hair shows my texture prior to the treatment.  View the sheen and length after treatment.  This is a completely natural home remedy.  Care to learn more about kelp and how it supports hair growth, and the overall body-depending on how you use it.   Check out the link from Herb Wisdom for additional info.   http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-kelp.html
