Bathroom Cleaning Tip

Bathroom Cleaning Tip: Bathroom cleaning can be a sticky, hairy, scummy mess and not many of us enjoy doing it. But when the bathroom is clean, it can be a heavenly place for quiet relaxation.

Bathroom cleaning can be done regularly with little effort if you have the right products. Like other areas of the home, you may have to rethink what you know about clean. We assume the bathroom is a place of germs, bacteria and mold that requires heavy chemical artillery.

Not so.

A simple combination of non-chemical ingredients can give you the result you want; a clean and fresh bathroom with no harmful scents or residues.

Some of the most popular cleaners at your supermarket are loaded with harmful chemicals. These are chemicals that expose you and your family to unwanted (and unneeded) risks.

Take a look at the following chemicals and the effects they can have on you and your family. All of these toxins can be found in products along the cleaning aisle in most neighborhood supermarkets.

 

  • A hormone disrupter, Alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs), is a likely ingredient in your general bathroom cleaners and disinfectants.
  • Keeping your toilet bowl sparkling white with Chlorine bleach (aka sodium hypochlorite)? It can irritate the lungs and eyes. Flushing the stuff harms our waterways.
  • Open the windows if you’re using Ammonia because it is very irritating to respiratory passages and can burn the skin on contact.
  • Fragrances made with phthalates are scarier than the smell they aim to cover up. These chemicals have been linked to reproductive abnormalities, liver cancer in lab animals, and to asthma and allergies in children.
  • If the cleaner includes hazard warnings check for Sodium hydroxide. This heavy cleaning ingredient is found in drain, metal and oven cleaners. Sodium hydroxide is extremely irritating to eyes, nose and throat and can burn those tissues on contact.

Maybe you are not concerned about the residue from the chemicals in the bathroom. After all you’re not eating off the surfaces.

But consider this.

How often do you set your toothbrush on the counter? Remember, it eventually ends up back in your mouth. How often do you touch the surface of the counter and then apply lotion to your face or body? How often do you touch the counter while you put in your contact lenses?

Kind of creepy to think about, isn’t it?

In miniscule doses, manufacturers would have us believe that there is no harm to us. But these chemicals, ingested over long periods of time pose unwanted risks to our health. These manufacturers have marketing machines that have convinced us that we need harsh chemicals to get things clean.

We’re not buying it.

Wouldn’t it feel really clean if you knew there were no harmful chemicals left on your bathroom sink or floor? Wouldn’t it be great if you could get the same kind of shine with natural and biodegradable ingredients? Ingredients that you don’t need to worry about if you are exposed?

You can.
