Make Your Own Non Toxic Household Cleaners 
 
by VWB June 17, 2005

Tips 

  • Never combine ammonia or vinegar with Bleach. It creates a lethal gas called Chloramine Gas.
  • Wash new synthetic sheets and clothes a couple times before using or wearing to remove formaldehyde.
  • Never combine ANYTHING with Bleach. Lethal gases are created.
  • Detergents cause more household poisonings than any other household products.
  • Detergents are not necessary for cotton, linens, silks, and wool as they were developed particularly for synthetic fabrics.
  • If vinegar and water streaks on glass and mirrors, there is build-up. Use a rubbing alcohol to remove it.
  • Never wash windows when sun is shining directly on them. The combination will dry too quickly and streak.
  • Use newspaper instead of paper towels to clean glass.
  • Never pour grease down the drain.
  • Chlorine is toxic on skin, inhaled, ingested.
  • Chlorine residue left on clothes after washing can trigger allergic reactions.
  • Chlorine bleach causes septic systems failure. It kills the good bacteria that break down waste in septic tanks.
  • Hot water is the best dish cleaner.
