Natural Cleaners

Lung caner is the leading cancer killing women today. More than breast or any other type of cancer. The number one killer of women is hearth disease and second is lung cancer.

Obviously smoking is a huge risk factor. But lung cancer is killing women who have never smoked.

Our sensitivity to environmental factors, such as radon and/or asbestos are likely. Too, I think it's the fumes we inhale from cleaners most of our lives.

Fumes from cleaners are toxic. No way around it. The residue they leave behind is toxic too.

You can buy organic/green cleaners.

Or you can use things you have in your home already.

All you really need is baking soda and vinegar. Some people use lemon juice too. Borax is a great product to. I use Borax some, but I mainly use vinegar and baking soda.

Vinegar diluted takes the place of Windex or any window or stainless cleaner. I use half vinegar and half water. Vinegar also kills germs. I keep a bottle of full strength vinegar that I use for my sink, counters, toliet and anything else I need to "zap."

Baking soda can be used in any way that you would use Comet or an abrasive cleaner. I use it to scrub my stainless sink, my other sinks, the tubs and in the toliet.

Both of these cleaners are cheap, environmentally friendly and safe to inhale.

And you will get over the urge to eat a salad after cleaning with vinegar!!!!!
