Real Dirt on Get Clean

You know that good, healthy feeling you get when you've just cleaned house? Sorry to spoil it, but you may have just made your home dirtier.

Think of it this way. You wouldn't let your kids play with toxic chemicals, so why would you let the baby crawl over a floor that's just been wiped with them? That's much more dangerous than the orange juice that was just there.

How dangerous? Just take a look at these statistics.

•Over 90% of poison exposures happen at home.

•Common bleach is the #1 household chemical involved in poisoning.

•Organic pollutants, found in many common cleaners and even air fresheners, are 2 to 5 times higher inside your home than out.

•A person who spends 15 minutes cleaning scale off shower walls could inhale three times the "acute one-hour exposure limit" for glycol ether-containing products set by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.

•Common cleaners give off fumes that have been linked to increasing the risk of your kids developing asthma, the most common serious chronic childhood disease.

•1 in 13 school-aged children has asthma. Rates in children under five have increased more than 160% from 1980 – 1994.

•Children are highly vulnerable to chemical toxicants. Pound for pound of body weight, children drink more water, eat more food and breathe more air than adults. The implication of this is that children will have substantially heavier exposures than adults to any toxicants that are present in water, food or air.

•If your home is anything like the average U.S. home, you generate more than 20 pounds of household hazardous waste each year (the EPA designates toilet cleaners, tub and tile cleaners, oven cleaners, and bleach as hazardous waste).

Protecting our Children at Home

A recent article from the Pediatrics Journal reminded us that Earth Day needs to be celebrated every day.

"Despite advances in recent years and the decrease in fatal poisonings, unintentional child poisonings remain an important public health concern" said U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) investigators Robert L. Franklin and Dr. Gregory B. Rodgers.

Through improvements in product packaging has lowered the occurrence of child poisonings, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (USPC) found that in 2004, there were over 86,000 accidental poisonings of children under 5 years old.

According to a recent study in the Pediatrics Journal (Dec 2008),  55% of the involved products had "child-resistant packaging",  most often oral medications. The most common cause of poisoning in the remaining 45% of cases involved cleaning products.

Parents and caregivers need to recognize that child-resistant does NOT mean child-proof, and that all potentially toxic products (meds, cleaning products, lighter fluid, antifreeze etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children.

This is the most important single reason for switching to Shaklee's Get Clean products. Then you can remove toxic cleaners from your home forever! Get Clean is 100% nontoxic, they are 100% biodegradable, they work marvelously, and they will save you a ton of money in the long run, because they are so concentrated. And for a gift bonus, think of all the packaging that won't end up in your landfill.

Green is a colour

Green is a movement

Green is a lifestyle

Blue and green should always be seen.
