Kick the toxic cleaner habit


All these synthetic super anti-bacterial cleaners are creating "super bugs" that are more and more resistant. It is time to go back to natural cleaners. I use distilled white vinegar in a spray bottle in the bathroom and in the kitchen on the counters. If I need a little more cleaning power I use a little baking soda. To really bubble things up I use both together. I like the foaming reaction. It saves room under the sink too. You only need two items. Studies have shown that vinegar kills 99% of germs. That is the same as Lysol. The smell doesn't last too long and is certainly better for you than the toxic fumes of harsh disinfectants. So toss the toxic and have a healthier house.
