A few Facts
Toxic Cleaners
The ingredients found in conventional cleaning products mean that our homes may look clean but may not be healthy. They contaminate the air with a mix of carcinogens, hormone disrupters, neurotoxic solvents, mood altering chemicals and reproductive toxins.
Scientists regard household cleaning products as one of the most important sources of indoor pollution and one of the most insidious threats to human health.
As our use of cleaners has grown, there has been a rise of incidences of cancer and asthma. Constant contact in the home with chemical fumes and chemical residues may be a contributory factor.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside the typical home is on average 2-5 times more polluted than the air just outside and, in extreme cases, 100 times more contaminated largely because of household cleaners and pesticides.

Consider This
My journey to finding cleaning alternatives has led me to an unexpected place. A company called Young Living that promotes essential oils for healthier living has several safer alternatives for home cleaning products. They sell through distributors in a multi-level marketing model and don't sell through traditional retail outlets. They enjoy a loyal following and make ordering or auto shipments easy, but to be honest I find the discount structures and "PV's" and bundles a bit confusing. Bottom line: great products, but not as convenient as grabbing the toxic cleaning supplies in the grocery store isle.
I have tried to simplify this a bit and created a couple of options to get you on the road to a healthier home environment and qualified these options for the best pricing. Take a look, or choose the last option to simply browse all of the options on your own.
