Spring Cleaning
This time of year always makes me want to throw open the doors and windows and give my entire house a thorough scub - very satisfying! You may have heard recent reports that air quality is often much worse in the house than it is outside. This is because of all the household toxins that can come from poor ventilation, toxic cleaning products, furniture, carpeting, pesticides and accumulated dust.
The first 3 things I recommend my clients to do in order to decrease their indoor pollution are:
1. Stop using any pesticides in your yard - they could get bought into your home on shoes!
2. Stop using air fresheners anywhere in your home as they often contain harmful chemicals.
3. Only use “natural” cleaning products that you know are free of all toxic chemicals.
I recommend:
Mrs Meyer’s products - they smell soooooo fabulous

Seventh Generation is a tried and trusted brand

For a natural air freshener, buy an electric aromatherapy diffuser. They use very little electricity and you get to pick whatever essential oil you love to scent your home. I love organic lavender for the day and geranium or ylang ylang at night.
