I am earth conscientious and use all environmentally friendly products in my home. I offer over 300 products to my clients. All are purely organic. What I mean is, not only are they government certified by meeting minimum standards, but they are also free of environmental impurities as well. For example: an organic farmer has fields that are along a long stretch of a busy highway. Did you consider that all of those toxic fumes being given off by the passing vehicles wouldn't pollute the leaves and roots of the produce? My passion in life is to get the message out that we all have a duty to ourselves and our planet to go green. So many of us don't know what that means exactly and that's why I'm here. I want everyone to know that when you go to the grocery store, or wherever it is to buy your house hold cleaners: beauty products, nutritional supplements, water filtration systems and air purifiers that there are harmful chemicals in them that are making everyone in your family sick. There are only two reasons anyone ever develops an illness or disease and that's due to genes and/or their environment. Since we cannot miraculously change our DNA, we need to change our environment. We have control over the latter so why not take control and change it. It's not an extra cost. I offer a super concentrated organic non-toxic cleaner that comes in a 473ml bottle for less than $15 and after you add the water to it you would make a whopping 48 GALLONS of the diluted bottles sold in the stores. Think about that for a minute. Your average all purpose cleaner costs approximately $6 and comes in 500ml. It's already diluted so, when that bottle is empty it goes into the garbage can that eventually goes to the landfill and takes 50 years or more to break down if it's made of materials that the earth can recycle. So, if we take out 759 bottles from our landfills do you think that it's a start in the right direction? I could go on and on with more examples but we're all intelligent enough to see where this is going.

Anyone have any information that they want to share? I love feedback. ;)

Hi Tina

Good on you for using earth friendly cleaners in your home.  Isn't it great that there are more companies out there offering this type of stuff!

I don't use commercially prepared cleaners very much at all.  I find that even walking through the cleaner aisle in the supermarket gives me a headache.  So I use vinegar, baking soda and tea tree oil as the basis of my cleaning kit.  It is most definately cheaper and, although you need to use a bit more elbow grease, they do a good job.  And hey, a bit of extra scrubbing means I don't have to go to the gym so often . . . :)

Sorry for the late reply Meg, however, I was recovering from surgery and didn't get to this until today. I'm fine now in case you're wondering. I'm glad to hear that you don't use commercial products. Tea tree oil is awesome but I would be very careful how close you get to using vinegar and baking soda. There is a very harmful gas that is given off and can cause some serious lung problems down the road. I can offer you a $10 bottle of an all purpose cleaner that won't hurt you in anyway at all. It's organic and super concentrated. It comes in a 473ml bottle without the water being added so it makes 48 gallons of cleaner. Check it out www.getgreenlysuccessful.com. Educate yourself about what you bring into your home at www.householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov.  Take care.

I'm glad to hear that you have recovered from surgery and are back up and running!

I'm quite happy with my current cleaners.  Vinegar and Baking Soda only break down to water, carbon dioxide and carbonic acid (which is so unstable it breaks down immediately to H2O and CO2).  So its about as non toxic as you can get!  And you can't get much cheaper ;)

Take care
Meg
