Reducing Exposure to Carcinogens and Other Harmful Substances

Cancer has been on the rise in recent years, with a growing concern as to why and how we can stop this horrible and usually fatal disease.

While some cancers are hereditary and in some parts, unavoidable, we can still reduce our exposure to cancer causing chemicals and substances (known as carcinogens).No one is expected to avoid all of these substances, it does seem beneficial to be aware of those which are harmful so we can do our best to at least reduce their presence in our daily routines.

Below are 5 areas to consider, though the list is so much bigger than this. Chemicals are everywhere you look and on most everything you touch.

Household Cleaners: Many cleaners are full of harmful chemicals. We use these products in our house and the residue remains on our floors, counter tops and cupboards. As we touch these surfaces, our bodies absorb, in minute quantities, these leftover chemicals.

Phthalates: Believed to be an "endocrine disruptor" because they mimic our bodies hormones, phthalates are in many products such as deodorants, shampoos, personal care lotions, baby products, nail polish and many items where "contains fragrance" is displayed. Educate yourself to be able to recognize potential phthalates and avoid them at all costs.

Personal Care Products: Never before have we been as sensitive to what we put on our skin. From the time we were babies we were being lathered in soaps, shampoos, baby powders and more, all smelling nice. Today is a new era and we must be cautious of what is put on our skin. We absorb everything into our body, be it from shampoo to lotions. Makeup for girls, deodorants, skin creams, soaps and perfumes are just some of the products used in our daily routines. Try to find more "Natural" products out there to use. For girls, there are a few lines of "Organic" Makeup solutions, including "Piggy Paint" for nail polish. Look for body lotions, shampoos and deodorants which contain Natural Ingredients, usually plant-based. Some stores have natural based products and if all else fails, visit Watkins Products to find healthier products for you and your family.

Heating up Foods and Drinks: You have probably heard about not heating up anything in plastic containers and for good reason - during the heat up process many carcinogens are released directly into the foods you are about to eat. Cover food with paper towel, not saran wrap, when heating up food. Transfer food or drink into a glass or ceramic dish or cup when heating. Those quick and easy dishes you can take to work and make in the microwave may be convenient, but think about what chemicals are leaking into your food and going directly into your system.

Aromotherapy: We live in a day and age where everything needs to smell nice. Keep in mind many of these air freshners include "fragrance" - see Point 2 above. Air Fresheners, Candles and Potpourri contain fragrances which are actually harmful to us. Find Natural Air Freshners and make your own potpourri from actual fruits,herbs and spices.

We live in a chemical world, where most everything we find in the stores is synthetic and not healthy for us. Only now are some of these products finally being recalled due to recent health risks. Being mindful of what we let our bodies come in contact with is a good step to a healthier future.

Making natural ingredients products is possible, but more costly for companies. So long as we don't complain or demand change, manufacturing companies will continue to make these harmful products.

We do have a choice and can educate ourselves to make smarter choices. We can pass this knowledge onto our children and their children's children. Living a "convenient" lifestyle was the trend 10 years ago and now we are starting to realize the ill effects of such a lifestyle. It is now up to us to put more effort into our health and do what we can to reduce cancer-causing substances from entering our bodies.

As for Tamara's thoughts on Watkins: "Watkins has been around since 1868 and is a strong and stable company. People have joined for many individual reasons. Some want a little extra income, while others just want the 25% discount on their favorite products. More and more people who are joining are looking for a business to help support them in their retirement years and a few have started this business for their Children to learn from and eventually run! Watkins has been providing Quality Natural household products for over 140 years and expanding their product line to include Body and Home Care products which are made from "Natural" Ingredients. I fully stand behind this company as I have a strong desire to reduce the amount of chemicals myself and my family are exposed to!"

Reducing Harmful Chemicals in Our Everyday Products

Did you ever stop to think about what we put into out bodies when we put products ON our bodies?

More and more products are being discovered as having harmful chemicals in them which, over time, penetrates to the inside of our bodies. Studies now are finally being done to link many health conditions to these chemicals such as:

* Increase in Cancer

* Decrease in sexual re productivity

* Changes in hormonal activity

* Neurological Disorders

But "going natural" isn't that easy. First, you have to find some good and truthful information on exactly what chemicals are bad and what potential side effects they have.

Then you need to determine what chemicals can be substituted when making products.

Consider these chemicals, be familiar with these chemicals and try to avoid - these chemicals:

* PARABENS (Methyl-Propyl-Ethyl-Butyl)

Common preservative used in cosmetics to length shelf life - Possible endocrine disruptor - potentially causing birth defects and cancer

Alternative: preserved with phenoxyethanol - found in nature and derived from essential sage oil

* CHEMICAL SUNSCREENS (Oxybenzone/Avobenzone)

Synthetic Sunscreen made to absorb UV rays instead of block the rays - potentially disrupt hormone balance

Alternative: titanium dioxide and zinc oxide

* PETRO CHEMICALS (Petrolatum, mineral oil, parrafin)

Used as emollient to smooth skin but are non-renewable crude oil by-products and have potentially dangerous impurities

Alternative: Use oils found in nature: Beeswax, Apricot kernel oil and coconut oil

* PROPYLENE GLYCOL

Humectant, absorbing watker from the air, it is a petroleum derived synthetic chemical and can potentially draw chemicals into bloodstream. It is a known skin and eye irritant; causing allergic reactions and acne

Alternative: Use Glycerin, and Natural Humectant - keep moisture in and other chemicals out

* PHTALATES

Used to blend oils & liquids - very common in fragrances. Known irritants and more studies being done to link Phthalates to possible carcinogenic properties

Alternative: Look for "Phthalate Free" on products, especially those with fragrance added or perfum added.

* DEA/TEA

Adjusts PH levels, but reacts with other nitrates. Reactions can lead to nitrosamines which have been linked to potential carcinogens

Alternative: Use Sodium Hydroxide in small amounts to balance PH

* FORMALDEHYDE

Preservative- in many personal care products. Very strong skin irritant (eye, nose & throat) EPA has classified this as a "Probably Human Carcinogen"

Alternative: Use preservatives that do not release formaldehyde or irritants. Peppermint oil can be used for antibacterial

* 1, 4 DIOXANE

No purpose in products but is produced as a "by-product" of certain manufacturing procedures - it is a suspected carcinogen

Alternative: Find a company that vows to avoid any processing which may produce this by-product

* ACRYLATES

Thickening agent and reduces feeling of "greasiness". Known to be a strong irritant.

Alternative: Use Natural Gums "Guar Gum" or "Xanthan Gum"

* CARBOMER

Thickening agent and emulsion stabilizer - can contain hazardous "by-products"

Alternatives: Again, use Natural Gums "Guar Gum" or "Xanthan Gum"

* PVP

Cosmetic Industry uses these as thickners but again, they can contain hazardous by-products.

Alternatives: as noted before - use Natural Gums (Guar or Xanthan)

* CHEMICAL PRESERVATIVES

Used to kill any imposing bacteria - can contain formaldehyde (see point 7) and some are known to be irritants

Alternatives: Use Natural preservatives such as Vitamin E and select essential oils

* SILICONES

Protects against water evaporation but hazardous by-products can result from the manufacturing process

Alternatives: Natural Oils - Apricot Kernel oil, avocado oil, coconut oil and jojoba oils are just some of the alternatives

*QUATS

Preservatives and adds a bond within conditioners. Can produce hazardous by-products in manufacturing process and known to be skin irritants.

Alternatives: Use specific quats not hard on the skin and monitor manufacturing process to ensure no hazardous by-products are contained within

* TALCS

Absorbent, used in many cosmetic products to add softness as well. Closely related to asbestos, talc posses health risk when exposed to lungs and genital areas. Has been linked to both lung and ovarian cancer.

Alternative: Corn Starch - 100% Natural

It's not easy to find products which are Natural, and even if they say Natural - you have to be careful. Especially since not all ingredients will tell you if there are "Phthalates" or "Petro Chemicals".

Finding companies who are dedicated to production of "Natural" products is a good way to minimize your risk. Look for the NPA (Natural Products Association) Certification on products and do your research.

There are so many products out there full of chemicals we haven't even begun to realize how harmful they are on us and the environment. The standards are quite flexible and very few studies are done to protect us, our children and our environment.

It is up to us - to protect ourselves. It is up to us, to educate our children, family and friends, so that they too can educate others. We need to make healthier choices and those choices must be educated and well informed choices. It's not about why we should avoid these products - but HOW to avoid these products.

Consider these everyday items and try to find Natural Alternatives.

* Cosmetics

* Nail Polish

* Skin creams, lotions, bath products, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, scrubs

* Hairspray, perfume, candles, air freshners, deodorants

* Laundry detergents, fabric softners (which release a chemical compound that attaches itself to the fabric and will Never come off - suspected carcinogen)

I enjoy doing what I do and helping others do what they want to do. As an Indp.

Melaleuca Review - An Expert Overview of Melaleuca

Amazingly, one of the fast emerging wellness and Health Company today is Melaleuca. The company, continuously growing on a very fast phase, offers consumers a variety of products which are tediously researched by experts to aid health related problems and even provide personal and cleaning care products. It seems to be a good company, so to speak. Yet, behind all that, some stories are still claiming that the said company is a scam. In relation to that, I conducted some research to gather enough information about Melaleuca.

Let me start laying the information... The company, what is it all about?

Melaleuca is considered as the "wellness company" and what they offer obviously concerns about healthy lifestyle. True, more and more people are now endowed into maintaining their bodies youthful and healthy, that's why the company sells not just for our personal care but also products which will help us maintain our home pleasant and free from harmful chemicals. Well I must say that Melaleuca has been in the business industry for many years and have reached wide network of independent representatives who have gained impressive full-time incomes through diligent selling and constant recruiting as their referrals to introduce and sell these amazing products.

Now, let me state information regarding the product.

Melaleuca, The Wellness Company, offers variety of products. One of their products is the Access Bar which is prominent for it helps people lose fat and improve muscle and performance. Another thing, Melaleuca has a line of vitamins and minerals which can be taken by both men and women. Actually, special formulations for kids and adults are available. With regards to their food and weight loss products, the company offers softdrinks, sports bars, cereals, protein shakes and bar and organic cookies and crackers. Also, in their bath and body line, the company features dental care, hair care and skin care products. Lotions air freshners and candles are available too.

Well, it seems like the company has a great line of products. Does it mean they offer a great compensation plan too?

In different and wide range of some organizations, the company's mainstream in compensation plan is common with those multi- level marketing industry, where one is paid through various levels of organizations and whereas there would also be commissions through sales by retailing products to consumers. The company's minimum number of orders each month from the costumers should be acquired by a representative to gain adequate profits making the most out of the opportunity.

Melaleuca is likely and desirably a company that offers great products and success opportunity. Nevertheless, like all other businesses, what's very vital is ones' strategy in terms of marketing. No matter how great the compensation and products are; the effectiveness of how well one can market will truly indicate his or her success and the success of the company. It is important in marketing for an individual to consider sponsoring at least 10-20 people a month. Reaching your goal is not far for those who are determined to reach it. So better equip yourself with right set of knowledge and skills to become one of the successful individuals of the future.

A Bag of Gold Or the Golden Goose? Which Do You Want From Your Party Plan Company?

Is your dream to quit your job and stay home with the children or to provide extras for your family? Are you a stay at home mom who would like to do something for yourself? Perhaps you are looking for a career with flexibility? Then it is time to look at party plan companies.

When searching for the company that gives you the perfect fit, look for the golden goose instead of the bag of gold. Remember Jack and the Beanstalk? In this fairy tale Jack traded the family cow, which had quit giving milk, for a bag of magic beans. His mother, deeming that the beans were worthless, threw them out the window. When Jack awakened the next morning, a huge beanstalk had grown to the top of the sky. Jack raced up, curious to see what was at the top. Jack ends up stealing a bag of gold from the ogre and his wife who lived in a mansion at the top of the sky. The gold provided for Jack and his mother for quite some time, but it eventually ran out. Jack climbed up the beanstalk again. This time he stole a goose that laid golden eggs on command. The next time Jack climbed the beanstalk it wasn't because he was broke.

Kimberly built a business with a 'bag of gold' party plan company. She shows her wares, takes orders, and delivers them to the hostess. She isn't likely to see her customer again unless she hosts a party or shows up at a party that someone else is hosting. She is successful in her sales and has steady income as long as she steadily works.

Stefanie has found the goose that lays the golden egg. She sells home air freshening products. Her golden eggs are the reorders she gets for additional fragrance. She has found that she makes almost four times more on the reorders than she does the original party orders in one year's time.

There is no trick to this other than her own organization. She hands out catalogs regularly. Each guest at her parties, whether they order or not, is given her business card with the website of her company and her advisor number on it. She is making money day and night whenever her customers go to the website, enter her number, and place their orders.

As they begin the party, each of Stefanie's guests fills out an entry for a drawing. These forms are her source for further contact. She enters each email address into her computer's address book. At the end of the month she sends a mass email that contains a short message from her and lists the next month's specials. The customer can click on a link and be taken to her replicated website where they place their order. For the small cost the company charges, the replicated website brings her large returns.

For those customers who don't use the computer or whom she hasn't heard from for a time, Stefanie uses phone calls. When she began her business, it was part of her plan to spend a certain number of hours a week working it. She decided then that her time with family is valuable and wouldn't be traded for finacial reward. But, she also realized that the financial reward helps determine what her family can do during family time. There was a way she could have the financial benefits without compromising the time with her husband and children. She hired a high school girl at a low hourly wage to make the calls. More often than not, when she tells them why she is calling, she is greeted with an "Oh, I was just thinking I needed to call."

Stefanie's sales are consistent year round, not because her phone is ringing off the hook. She is the one that takes the initiative to incorporate the programs that her "golden goose" company provides for her. Like the goose that would lay golden eggs on command, Stefanie's customers buy when they are greeted in an email or phone call, "Hi, this is Stefanie. Just calling to let you know the specials this month are...." Now that is a golden egg!

Air Pollution - A Distressing Reality

Today, air pollution has become a distressing reality in most parts of the world. Ecologists never tire to remind us about the need to maintain the delicate environmental balance between humans and plants to ensure the healthy survival of the human species. Plants and trees, nature's natural mechanism to purify the air that we breathe, have been successfully doing the job of air-purification for us for the last thousands of years. Our symbiotic relationship with them ensures that they cleanse our air of carbon dioxide, which they use for their survival, in exchange for oxygen, which is a necessity for our survival.

However, mankind's progress in the last hundred years has hindered this long standing arrangement with our natural environment. Mankind's progress towards an industrialized society has led to more machines which in turn have led to more pollution. The invention of automobiles and the smoke they collectively emit has contributed to the overall degradation of the air quality. Governments over the world are trying to control the air pollution by introducing regulations on permissible emission levels of industries.

Today we've reached a threshold where it has become necessary to invent and design appliances that will lend a hand in maintaining a healthy environment for humans to live in. These gadgets are commonly known as are air-purifiers.

Development of home air-purifiers

You will be surprised to learn that there are many sources of indoor air pollution. These include combustive sources such as oil, gas, kerosene, coal, wood; cigarettes and other products made from tobacco; building supplies such as paint and asbestos; furnishings such as wet and damp carpets and certain pressed wood furniture; household cleaning agents, like air freshners, personal care and cosmetic products; central heating and cooling systems such as air conditioners; outdoor sources such as pesticides all contribute to air-pollution. Some release pollutants in the air continuously while others like cleaning solvents and paint strippers do so intermittently.

Many homes are designed to let in and out as little outside air as possible. Unless they are built with special mechanical means of ventilation, in such homes pollution levels can build up to injurious levels giving rise to allergies, asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis colds or other viral diseases

Thus, manmade air-purifiers have today become essential to enhancing indoor air quality.

Non-Toxic Cleaning & Treatment

Extensive reading has borne this article. Having tried and tested the numerous methods on the internet, I consolidated different surveys and tips.

Personalisation.

Amazing how the eco movement has evolved, especially the rate of its coverage. Below is a summary of how everyone's little action is a huge step towards eco friendly cleaning and a safer environment.

Products made at home are safer for health of the family and pets.

They are environmentally friendly compared to toxic chemical products on supermarket shelves.

Making your own cleaning aid will immediately & positively impact the shopping list i.e. drastically reduce the amount of money spent. Its is easy and straightforward to make products.

The most common ingredient to various cleaners are:

? lemon juice - This can be the natural lemon fruit or the concentrate in a bottle

? baking soda - the same as bicarbonate of soda

? white vinegar

The one item I found I had to buy (as it was not sitting in my kitchen) was lavender oil. I have since used it as air freshner. A few drops in the moping bucket, on the radiator, massage, etc amazing stuff.

Below are a few examples of how to clean your environment in a green way, using the common household ingredients.

Lemon juice

Apart from use as a great ingredient in your margarita....

? After using fresh lemon for food/cooking, you can use it to pedicure your feet. Rub it on your heels, wait 5minutes then pumice away. Summer feet ready.

? Equal parts of lemon juice and water in a cup will a steam a microwave clean. Put it in there and blast for full 4 to 6minutes. Wipe with a wet cloth and then with a dry cloth.

Baking Soda

Same ingredient in making cupcakes.....

? Vacuum clean the carpet in the evening - prepping the carpet. After everyone is in bed, at night, sprinkle bicarbonate of soda on the carpet. In the morning, vacuum clean the carpet. Carpet will smell and look fresher and brighter.

? Make a paste with bicarbonate and some water. Rub on the inside of the oven. For tougher stains, mix bicarbonate of soda with vinegar.

? This same paste can be used for cleaning silverware.

White Vinegar

? Mix water and white wine vinegar for cleaning floors. Depending on the degree of dirt, the parts may vary. Also how regular the floor is cleaned will lift dirt quicker/easier. Getting on your hands and knees also goes some distance.

? Window and mirror cleaning also just need a drop of vinegar in a little water. Its like magic. With a dry cloth.

Don't get me wrong, at times, some sort of agent is necessary. In this circumstance, I highly recommend using eco friendly products. There is a wide range of brands and firms out there now.

Cleaning regularly guarantees you less elbow grease. Its not always possible and that's when cleaning agencies come in. Its always difficult to know which one to choose and contract.Takes credentials and most importantly, in my opinion, recommendation.

Kiki Muganda started up a cleaning business; Niki Edwards Services are based in London. They provide eco friendly services and aim to be best rated with exceptional results that suit individual circumstances. Only an email and phone call close.

Encoura Review - Is Encoura A Good Opportunity Or A Sham?

What's The Deal With Encoura?

Encoura is a network marketing company that sells a variety of different products designed to be good for both people and the environment. They sell everything from nutritional products to face care, hair care and body care, and from household cleaning products to air freshners and scents.

Some people will think Encoura is a scam because it is a MLM company, and there are still a lot of people out there who are skeptical about MLM. The main reason that most people will call Encoura a scam, however, is because they will say that is impossible to make any money with the company. So let's have a look and see what we can discover.

Is Encoura A MLM Scam?

Encoura sells its products through Agents only, so they are not available through the traditional retail methods like shops or a dedicated website. You can join as an Agent and build your own business sharing the products with others, or you can just join as an Advantage Customer and enjoy the products at reduced prices.

The fact that Encoura is a MLM company is not a problem. There are hundreds of perfectly legit MLM companies out there, and the industry is fully regulated by official authorities and government organizations. MLM is not the same as pyramid selling, which is illegal in most countries. So from this point of view Encoura is totally legit.

The problem with Encoura, however, is that they are trying to compete in an incredibly crowded market place. There are literally hundreds of other products on the market that are very similar or do the same thing, and there are much bigger companies that are more famous, like Amway and Shaklee, for example, that already have the lion's share of the market. Encoura could maybe do with cutting down its product range and trying to specialize in one thing, because by trying to compete in so many different areas it could cause them to become a "jack of all trades, but master of none".

How To Make Money With Encoura

Encoura is definitely not a scam, and it is not impossible to make a bit of money with them. In order to give yourself a chance as an Agent, however, you will have to ditch the traditional sales parties, presentations, cold-calling, handing out flyers and business cards etc. There are too many other similar distributors out there doing exactly the same thing, and if you want to make some money you need to stand out from the crowd.

The only way you will be able to grow a successful Encoura business is by turning to the internet. Internet marketing is the next big thing to hit MLM, and it is proven to work wonders for people who are having trouble getting noticed in the vast sea of wellness products that are out there.

So Encoura is definitely not a scam, but unless you learn how to use the internet to give you an edge, it could turn out to be quite a difficult venture for you.

Oral B 8900 - The Irrigator Leaves Your Teeth Beautifully Clean! Oral B Top Seller!

The Oral B 8900, also known as the Oral B ProfessionalCare 8900 DLX OxyJet Oral Care Center, is another addition to the Oral B toothbrush line of quality and useful electric toothbrushes. Unlike Sonicare toothbrushes, which lately seem to produce the same toothbrush over and over again just with different names, Oral B tends to incorporate useful and unique features to each of its models. The Oral B 8900 does just that.

Oral B ProfessionalCare 8900 dlx Oxyjet center Features:

FlexiSoft Brush head helps get in between your teeth to give your teeth a deep cleaning
ProBright Brush head is to be used when you want that polished white look on your teeth
Inter-dental cleaners to easily floss your teeth
Tongue Freshner helps clean your tongue and rid it of nasty odor causing bacteria

Pressure sensor alerts when too much pressure is being applied to your teeth
40,000 back and forth pulsations with 8,800 oscillations per minute
Oxy Jet water stream with different modes that help remove food debris with ease, similar to the Water Pik

Oral B 8900 Experience

The Oral B 8900 provides the same type of cleaning I loved with the Oral B Triumph 9900. This brush really gives you that feeling that you're getting a thorough and proper cleaning of your teeth. Especially with the rounded, dentist inspired brushes which replicate the dentist tools.

The other features, such as the floss head provides a much needed mechanical flossing strategy and the tongue refresher really helps to finish off the thorough cleaning.

Oral b 8900 DLX OxyJet center

My favorite part about this toothbrush, besides the fact that it is the only powered toothbrush to offer 3D cleaning action is the OxyJet irrigator. This allows micro-bubble technology to remove the bacteria that causes plaque. It does this by mixing air and water, which produces the micro bubbles that get deep in between your teeth.

Unique New Process to Eliminate Odors

Bacteria, those nasty little critters that cause infection, are also the nasty boogers that cause foul odors in the air. Whether it is a rotten piece of meat or a smelly restaurant bathroom, it is the bacteria which create the unpleasant odors. For years, people have bought many different kinds of products to mask the odor or minimize it. Manufacturers have focused their efforts on ways to hide the odors or overpower the bad odors with some good clean smelling scents.

Well, better news is here. Some innovative minds in Georgia decided to go to the heart of the problem and attack the bacteria putting off the odor. Why beat around the bush? Squeaky Klean has created a 100% biodegradable enzyme based liquid that attacks and kills the odor producing bacteria. Not only does it eliminate the odors but minimizes the risk of infection, too, by killing the bacteria. The best part is that it has been proven safe for humans and pets.

It is kind of scary when you think about walking into a pet supply store or dog kennel. There is always that animal smell which permeates the air while youngsters are picking out their puppy or kitten. But most of what you smell is not the animals themselves, but bacteria feasting. Billions and billions of bacteria. Not a pleasant thought to a mom or dad bringing in their precious children.

With this new revolutionary technology, odors will be a thing of the past. Not just masking, but killing the bacteria and ridding your place of germs. Just think, restaurants and bars can use this stuff in their restrooms, neutralizing the urine smell and reducing bacteria. How nice would it be to go to a ballgame and not have to inhale all of the bad odor bacteria in the restrooms.

Green Cleaning Products - Healthy and Low Cost Cleaning Solutions

Green cleaning products, with the benefits it can give, can be considered as the ultimate house cleaning weapon. It is like a gun to a law enforcer or a hose and water to a firefighter. Without them, specific cleaning functions are simply impossible to be carried out with ease and effectiveness.

Like any other cleaning solutions, organic cleaning products are made to purposely wipe out the dirt and grimes of everyday life. Stains, dust and molds are just few of these nuisances. Sometimes they stick to your clothing, equipments and other items without you even knowing how it happened.

If unnoticed or ignored, these things can encourage harmful bacterial growth which can lead to illnesses and diseases. It's at this time when cleaning products start to play a very important house role. However, not so fast in picking just any product as most of the conventional and claimed effective cleaning solutions are actually hazardous to humans and the envrionment.

Instead of making sure that your family and the planet are indeed safe, the use of un-verified cleaning solution can put them at a great health risk. With strong chemicals as active ingredients, these products can truly eliminate bacteria and germs. But then, their effects extend negatively way beyond this.

After the application or use, the chemicals within these solutions can still stay on items and surfaces as they cannot be easily dissolved. Even the disposal of them can lead to the release of added pollutants to the environment. The greater risk is that they can get inside your body by mixing with water and air which can result to serious medical conditions. Not to mention, these products cost some considerable amount of money.

All those things are giving you more than enough reasons to choose green cleaning products over other cleaning solutions. And though these eco-friendly alternatives are available for purchase, you can also personally produced them for a bigger savings. With that said, here are some tips that you can apply to your house cleaning with the aide of organic cleaning products mostly found in your kitchen.

- Air Freshner and Cleaner - Nothing can be more relaxing than to stay in a pleasant-smelling place. Aside from preventing allergies and irritations it also connotes cleanliness of the environment. The easiest way that you can try in cleaning indoor air is to put fresh flowers on a vase. The next easiest means is to make a mixture of essential oil and water and then simply spray it on your every house corner. Another clean-air quick step is to lay a box of baking soda to anywhere you want to be deodorized. It works even inside a refrigerator.

- Bathroom mold remover - A bathroom is one of the most frequently visited parts of the house. As an area where you do your personal cleaning, it must also be clean. This means that you must get rid of every bathroom's usual problem - molds. You can make use of vinegar as your organic cleaning product. Directly spray it on the mold then let it stay for 30 minutes to one hour. The acidity of the vinegar will kill the molds and will stop the growth of the new ones.

- Rust remover - Metal as the primary source of rust is present in almost every house part. This means that rust can develop almost anywhere. However, you can avoid further rust damage if you can immediately treat it. And what better and safer way to do it than to produce and use your own green cleaning product. All you have to do is to sprinkle salt on the rusted spot and add some lemon juice. Let the solution stay on the damaged area and then simply scrub it off after a few minutes.

With green cleaning products, house cleaning is done with true effectiveness. Aside from keeping items dirt and germ free, the use of them also protects your family's health and the envrionment. When it comes to money terms, organic cleaning products can also save you from too much expenses as can you produce them personally.

The use of organic cleaning products is far more rewarding than other cleaning alternatives. Experience multiple cleaning benefits without having to worry about health risks, by going for green cleaning products

How to Remove the Smoke Smell From Car Interiors

Smoke smells in cars are hard to get rid of using typical car air freshners. Nicotine sticks to everything inside a car interior, including the headliner. To get rid of the scent, you've got to use a few unconventional methods.

First of all, I'll give you my favorite method that is used by car dealers...

Place a dryer sheet under the each front seat of the vehicle and with the windows rolled up, turn the heat on to full blast, on recirculate. Let the vehicle run, heating up the interior for about 20 minutes. Don't be in there, of course. Turn the vehicle off, once the interior has been really hot for about 10 minutes and let the vehicle sit overnight. The dryer sheets will freshen the entire interior, including the headliner.

An alternative method is to place dryer sheets under the seats when the vehicle will be sitting in the hot summer heat for a few hours, with the windows rolled up.

Another method is to use dry upholstery cleaner, spraying the headliner, back dash board and all interior surfaces completely. Allow to completely dry and then use a heavy duty shop vacuum cleaner to vacuum all of the interior surfaces of the vehicle. Clean the dashboard and other rubber/vinyl and leather parts with a mild detergent before applying armor all.

Your vehicles "cabin filter" needs to be changed, regardless of the method that you use to clean the interior surfaces, carpet and seating.

Aeresol air fresheners only mask the smell.

Or, you could just get another vehicle. Have bad credit? Try http://www.MyCreditTree.Net/ and see if there is a lender that will approve you for a no money down car loan.

Daycare Fresh Air Alternatives

Daycare Air fresheners come in a variety of sizes, fragrance and color. One of the number one reasons found in studies as to why a daycare is successful is because of the cleanliness it brings and always smelling good. Let's face it, if you have a nice room but it smells like old socks, the beauty of your room would not matter. Since parents will visit your daycare center, you must make a good lasting impression with clean fresh air so that your daycare center will be filled with children.

Maintaining a daycare center is a challenge with all of the children constantly playing, eating, sweating and using the restroom. You have to remember to always keep your daycare center clean. You have to clean and sanitize daily to maintain the cleanliness of each room such as the kitchen, bathroom and the playroom. But be very careful on using your solution and daycare air fresheners because there are sensitive kids out there.

In the market today, there are a variety of advanced daycare air fresheners that you can choose from to cleanse the air. Some are built with their own fans and battery operated. Some air freshner dispensers are programmable and spray into the air on scheduled time intervals. Daycare air fresheners purify the air and remove the bad odors in the air to provide a smooth and fresh scent.

Timemist makes many of the commercial air freshners and sanitizers on the market today for daycares and schools. They have a wide variety of options and fragrances.

Timemist has an air sanitizer out now that kills the bacteria in the air, thus cleaning the air. I believe it is the first of its kind. They also come in a wide variety of scents.

Also, some good common sense can help as well. When it is too hot or cold outside to open the windows you can use the daycare air fresheners. But when the weather is just right, open the windows so that the fresh air can circulate. A popular form of air freshener that is used is the glade plug-in. Glade plugins are made by Johnson Diversey. These are easy because all you have to do is just plug them in, so it is hassle free and no mess. It gradually releases the fragrance of your choice so that the atmosphere at the daycare center will improve.

And one of the popular daycare air freshener systems is the time release dispenser product. Time release metered air freshners accurately release small amounts of fragrance every few minutes that is enough to make daycare air smell good. You and the children will enjoy it every single day as you enter the room with no empowering fragrance that is too strong for the nose to handle.

Pure Fun Supply is your complete source for daycare clean air solutions.
