So, I've written about my natural health journey, what we do about that in our kitchen and in my overall philosophy. But, this also has also carried through in what personal care products and household products we use.
What's one of the first places we secure when we have a child who becomes mobile?
Under the kitchen sink, right?
Or at least in many homes I know of, under the kitchen or bathroom sink is where cleaning or other toxic items are stored. I've always struggled with finding ones that work the way I want them to and don't completely gas me out. I remember being paranoid when I was pregnant about the fumes on more than one occasion. Kind of scary, especially when you think of how sensitive children must be to the fumes. Why should they be expected to build up a tolerance to things that can irritate their lungs or affect their behavior or make them ill?
One way I've eliminated toxins from our home is removing most of these of types of products altogether. Just today I did a mixture of water and vinegar for hand scrubbing my small kitchen linoleum floor. {Note: When I say "mixture," I mean throwing some white distilled vinegar on the floor and using a very wet rag.} It looks and smells so fresh in my kitchen. I'm not giving up anything by using non-toxic products in my home and I only give up fresh, safe air when I do use toxic products. If I do purchase a cleaning product, I read the label very carefully. But, I'm very careful to provide a safe environment in my home for my children.
