Kind planet cleaning

Many people switch to natural cleaning due to the health risks associated with having toxic chemicals in their home. But the products we use have a much longer life span than just within our home, working their way through the water cycle and ending up in the environment.

The attached article from Junior magazine references a study undertaken by Birmingham and Warwick university in which soil contaminated with an ingredient used in many cleaning products also contained high concentrations of drug-resistant bacteria. The conclusion was that the growth of drug-resistant bacteria is triggered by chemicals used in houshold products, which has the knock-on effect of medicines no longer being able to treat dangerous diseases.

Using natural products is not only kinder on your home and cleaner, but on the planet too.
