Honestly IMO it is time that we as a society honestly start questioning WHY there such dangerous chemicals in our HOUSEHOLD cleaning supplies and why we have become so apathetic to this as the 'norm' that we just accept that this is the way it is despite rising evidence that SOMETHING is not right in our world with so much cancer and other disease and rising health issues!

I do not have a cupboard full of chemicals in my house that needs to be 'locked' in order to have a clean home because I do not accept that 'all household cleaners are dangerous' ... nothing I clean with requires me to wear gloves or a respirator or use in a 'ventilated area' everything I use to clean my house is technically 'edible' with the exception of the organic toilet bowl cleaner and laundry detergent which is still non toxic and 'could' be eaten if you wanted without 'harm' but I would not sprinkle it on my french fries or use it to help my muffins rise cause its full of some stinky unappetizing herbs that act to deodorize while cleaning

My house is clean and there is very little 'communicable illness' in my daycare program or family from spread of 'bacteria' being left behind during cleaning and my cleaning regime consists of microfiber clothes and plain ole tap WATER and in some more stubborn areas of the home I will use baking soda and vinegar mix to remove calcium build up or deodorize pipes and so forth ... even my OVEN is cleaned with a microfiber cloth and water.

Seriously as a society we need to ask ourselves how 'dirty' are we that we think there is a high enough NEED to use formaldehyde and cyanide in a bathtub and kitchen sink cleaner to make it worth the risk of using it? Specially where young children live ... where they touch surfaces and than put those little fingers in their mouth cause sorry I worry how much 'rinsing' has to be done to ensure that NONE of that chemical is left behind on the surface?

We wonder why our immune systems are failing us, why cancer is everywhere and so so forth .... not only do these chemicals leave residue on the surfaces in our homes for us to ingest slowly day after day so it might not be enough for their 'tests' to register them as a risk but they are not testing for the accumulative effect of using these day after day week after week year after year in the home .... not to mention that the stuff we clean with individually than ends up in our COLLECTIVELY in the water supply when we rinse it down the kitchen sink, bathroom sink or flush it down the toilet so in much larger amounts as a result

Everywhere we turn we are being exposed to 'chemicals' that are not meant to be a normal part of our daily exposure ... they are in our foods, in our work places, in our homes and so forth ... seriously time for us to all pause and ask ourselves 'is this really necessary exposure'?
