Living an all natural life means different factors to different people, but one thing that it should mean to everyone, and that is using less chemicals in your house. This might mean significantly less chemicals in your food, less chemicals in the air you inhale or water you drink, or less chemicals in your household cleaners.

There's a huge selection of household cleaners that are laden with chemicals, that people use in their homes on a daily basis. The fact that many of these chemicals are dangerous when inhaled, is not even known by these people. With minimum contact, these chemicals can nevertheless trigger skin irritation and inhalation problems. Phenol or cresol are a couple of chemicals in many disinfectants that can potentially damage the central nervous system, pancreas, kidneys, liver and spleen. Your longevity and quality of life varies according to how much chemicals you use in your home. Most of these chemicals were designed to kill germs but they are also made to kill you.

Having a home that is germ free may seem like the ultimate but it could certainly make your immune-system weak. Whenever an environment is in fact germ-free, our immune-system will not be very active helping to make your body vulnerable to germs from the outside. One of the worst household products, with several of the most hazardous chemicals, is oven cleaner. These kinds of products have very potent fumes making it very risky to inhale. The toxic gases that are released by the majority of oven cleaners can result in problems to the respiratory system, and also can eat the skin, because they contain ammonia and lye.

The safest cleaner to use for the oven is a mixture of water and baking soda. All you do is spread the blend in your oven, leave it over night then scrub it off in the morning. You will not worry about inhaling risky chemicals. People like using synthetic fresheners to keep a room smelling fresh, but many of them release agents that deaden the nerves. This could affect your sense of smell, so using aroma-therapy oils, which are organic, are much safer to use. Employing natural and safe ways to clean your home will help to slow down the rise in respiratory issues like asthma. The best defense you will find for dirt and grime, is using all-natural cleaning products, to clean your living space.

These types of non-toxic solutions will be beneficial to the health of your body, good for the environment, and are not even tested on animals. Despite the fact that some companies tout their all-natural products, others may actually be lying. Make an effort to always read the labels to see what's inside before you buy.
