Why I'm Glad We're All-Natural!

A long time ago a decided to make the switch from toxic cleaners to normal cleaners. This was a shock to my husband (then fiance) as it was all he ever knew. I put vinegar on anything standing.

Then we had our first baby and I couldn't handle the smell. But, I couldn't go back to the toxic chemicals. They made my asthma break out and my lungs had gotten used to functioning. I kept at it until I found a line of natural concentrated cleaning stuff and then I was thrilled.

With the exception of our laundry -the line isn't cloth diaper compatible- most everything that needs to be cleaned can be cleaned with the contents of two super concentrated bottles. One for normal cleaning (like what you'd use windex or other general cleaners for) and one for germy stuff (like what you'd use bleach and Lysol for). I can make various dilutions depending upon my needs. Heck, I can even wash my kids in it.

And this is the reason I'm so glad we made the switch (my husband says its the money, but that's him): my kids can join in on the cleaning and I don't have to worry about them getting sick. Now, I do keep the concentrated stuff out of reach and locked up. But the dilutions- no worries.

It's kinda peaceful to sit on the couch when you're 30 weeks and "supervise" the kids cleaning. Hey, they volunteered!
