Go Chlorine Free
Chlorine has been used for years to kill germs, and whiten clothes, but what most people don't realize is that chlorine is a deadly toxin. During college I worked in a deli, and one of the requirements was to wipe everything down with a bleach and water mix. What surprised me was that we only used a few drops in a gallon of water, and then had to rinse everything with clear water after. Why? Because the health authority was concerned about toxic contamination of food surfaces. Bleach kills much more than germs. It kills almost anything it touches, and even when highly diluted is extremely toxic. Unfortunately it is one of the most heavily used cleaning agents in use today. Both chlorine, and its by products, called organochlorines, are released into our environment everyday, where they can combine with other toxins to form new compounds that can accumulate, and last for years. Instead of chlorine products, try some of these suggestions. Use vinegar, or a non-toxic all purpose cleaner to wipe down kitchen and bathroom surfaces. Vinegar is all natural, and has anti-bacterial properties. If you can't stand the idea of smelling vinegar everywhere, check out our household cleaner category, and use one the non-toxic cleaners available. When you are doing laundry, use a non-chlorine bleach, preferably an oxygen or hydrogen based bleach. By limiting our use of chlorine products, we will be reducing one more toxic substance in our environment, and making our world a little more "Green". |
