What's hiding under your kitchen sink?
Please pardon the mess... this is what's under my sink.

Do you ever wonder exactly what's in your cleaning products? I took a good look at some of my cleaners on the US Dept. of Health Household Database and found they contain many "not so green" ingredients.
My anti-dust spray contains petroleum distillates. The Disinfectant spray I use is listed as a hazard to humans and domestic animals. There is a warning on my dishwasher detergent that cautions me not to breathe in the dust, and contains phosphorus, which can cause a host of ecological and human health problems.
I was shocked to discover how many potentially dangerous ingredients are in my cleaning products!
What I love about the Shaklee products is that they're super concentrated, so I'll be using far less packaging and saving money too. They're nontoxic and they clean great!

Yes, there are many questionable chemicals under my sink, but to be fair, I don't use anything but the vinegar, washing soda, baking soda, borax and bar soap. I even make my own hand soap and laundry detergent... I just haven't gotten rid of the yucky stuff because I'm not sure how to dispose of it correctly...
ReplyDeletei have all those ingredients! help! :-)

ReplyDeleteWow... very eye opening
ReplyDeleteYes, I did and its like alphabet soup down there!!! (Corey Olomon)(olomon@hotmail.com)
ReplyDeleteI actually only have one product in the kitchen at the moment and it just has a couple Ammonia Compounds. I'm sure if I look under the bathroom sink I probably won't be as lucky. Still I'm planning on replacing all the cleaners with "green" products once they're finished. At the very least I'll go back to using vinegar and/or salt and/or baking soda. Thanks for the giveaway.

ReplyDeletehrddiana556@gmail.com
chlorine bleach i need a makeover bad!
ReplyDeleteMost of the products under my sink were alright but there were a few with ammonia
ReplyDeleteI need a makeover so that my family and I don't ever get sick from any of these products

I found ammonia and chlorine bleach. I need this because I have kids and would like to use natural products.
ReplyDeletelongshaw4735@hotmail.com
I did not even have to look because none of these chemicals are anywhere in my house. I switched over to all natural, non-toxic, eco-friendy cleaners many years ago to avoid them. I don’t actually need a makeover, but already love this brand and would love to win some free products, both ones I already love and some that I have not yet tried! I hope that is OK!!

I use a lot of products with bleach, and I am always worrying the residue doesn't get washed off!
ReplyDeleteI need them because I have 2 small kids and I don't want to use anything that would be harmful to them.
ReplyDeletexporschex27@aol.com
found several of those and I want safer products around my family. I've been trying out vinegar and water to clean.
