Natural, Safe and Enviromentally Friendly Household Cleaners
Natural cleaners that you make at home can be a cost savings and more importantly a healthier way to a better lifestyle.  These so called great miracle cleaners that we store under our kitchen sinks, hall closest and even pantries contain more than 4000 harsh chemicals that result in more than 
25000 trips to hospitals and medical care faculties in North America for respiratory problems such as Asthma, skin disorders like cancer or nerve damage.  If exposed to high concentrations it can also cause fertility problems such as birth defects and/or if swallowed even death.

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) considers indoor air pollution one of the principal threats. EPA says that pollution inside a home can be 5 times higher than outdoor pollution. Air neutralizers, room deodorizers, “plug-ins” all spray harmful synthetic chemicals into the air are all chief causes of higher indoor pollution.
