Start cultivating physical & environmental health in your own home by minimizing toxic chemicals that pollute our waterways and cause harm to your body.
Chemicals we use to clean have been shown to cause respiratory irritation. They are also polluting our waterways, causing further harm to our environment as well as our individual health.
Personal Change
Clean with Cleaners You Can Eat: a reference book for how to replace toxic cleaning chemicals with body & environment-friendly cleaners, saving money, your own health, and the health of your environment!
- Includes safe, alternative bleaching agents!
- Provides a lot of background information about what cleaning products do (or don’t).
As a general rule, prefer mechanical solutions to chemical solutions:
- To prevent expensive clogs in your pipes, start with fine mesh filters to keep larger detritus out of the drain.
- To unclog drains, instead of using toxic chemical “drain cleaners” that can cause costly damage to pipes, it’s best to start with a snake or drain weasel. And don’t pour oil down the drain! Collect it in old tins and find how to dispose of it depending on your local regulations.
