It is totally possible to get your house sparkling clean with natural products. Vinegar and baking soda are my best friends when it comes to cleaning, and I buy it in bulk.
Many store-bought cleaners contain harmful ingredients that can pose a risk to human health and the environment.
Some of these ingredients include artificial fragrances, preservatives, and harsh chemicals.
Artificial fragrances can contain phthalates, which can disrupt hormones and cause reproductive problems.
Preservatives such as parabens can also cause hormonal imbalances and have been linked to breast cancer.
Additionally, some cleaners contain chemicals that can irritate the skin, eyes, and lungs. These chemicals can be especially dangerous for those with respiratory issues or allergies.
It’s important to be aware of these risks and choose safer, natural alternatives when possible to protect both our health and the environment.
