Aaaaaah, the
smell of a freshly cleaned house, powder fresh clothing, and sea breeze air
freshener. How about all those whiffs that you take in the supermarket when
deciding on a fabric softener, toilet cleaner or air freshener?
Many people
are unaware that it takes just a few seconds for the toxic ingredients that our
skin comes in contact with to be absorbed and enter into our blood streams.
Chemicals in
conventional laundry products are linked to a variety of diseases ranging from
eczema, allergies, to cancer. Many of the ingredients are toxic and hazardous
to your health. Our clothing, bedding, towels and wash cloths all have constant
contact with our skin. Remember that our skins can absorb these chemicals
leading to chemical overload.
What is
hiding in your cleaning products that can be a cause of your allergies or
ailments? You may be scrubbing away and killing all the germs, but what effect
do these chemicals have on your family’s health?
It might
smell clean and sterile, but what fumes are you inhaling in the process while
cleaning? What about the lingering smell that you are then exposed to? If you
are not doing the cleaning yourselves, then think of your domestic cleaner’s
health and wellbeing.
Do you know
that bleach irritates the lungs, skin and delicate eye area? It can damage the
mucous membranes and contribute to headaches.
There is
absolutely nothing “fresh” about air fresheners or room sprays. Do yourselves a
favour and read the ingredients on yours. Are there chemical and artificial
fragrances that can influence your hormonal system by disrupting the delicate
balance?
Cleaning
products are not required to provide a full list of ingredients on their labels.
They are apparently only required to list the chemicals that are active
disinfectants.
What
now??
There ARE
ways to have a clean and fresh home without using harmful chemicals to help
eliminate bacteria, viruses and odours. Vinegar, water, bicarbonate of soda,
lemons and citrus peels are all natural cleansers and can even kill mould.
You can make
your own air fresheners and room sprays by mixing distilled water (or cooled
down boiled water), witch hazel or alcohol and essential oils. Maybe it is time
for you to invest in a good diffuser or air purifier using water and essential
oils instead of artificial fragrances.
What would
you think if I told you that a bacteria called Bacillicus can clean your home?
It sounds ridiculous, right? Well, I’ve got news for you! This special strain
creates enzymes that then destroy bad bacteria by eating them. This in turn
helps to remove dirt grime, stains, mal odours and organic substances. These
enzymes work with us, not against us.
The different
beneficial enzymes that are produced then target different areas;
*Lipase
breaks down fats and grease.
*Amalase
breaks down starch which acts as glue for dirt to stick to.
*Protease
breaks down protein such as meat.
*Cellulase
breaks down food texturisers and thickeners.
*Pectinase
breaks down fruit and juice-based stains.
Now these
enzymes break down these different components into smaller particles which
makes it easier to remove. It’s a double win! The biological population of good
bacteria is restored, and the good bacteria eats away the bad bacteria, without
leaving harmful chemicals behind.
These enzyme-based
cleaners by GreenWorx Bio Cleaning Solutions are useful for biofilm removal.
This is a “hood” that bad bacteria hide under which chemicals and medication
then struggle to penetrate. Enzyme
cleaners are more effective on biofilms.
Enough of
the technical and biological info! GreenWorx enzymatic washing powder is by far the best I’ve used, leaving colours
brighter and more vibrant. Clothes literally feel cleaner without being
stripped.
I personally
don’t use a fabric softener. I use GreenWorx ‘s washing powder and add a few
drops essential oils like Lavender into the fabric softener area of my machine.
I use Tea Tree Oil for dog blankets instead of Lavender oil.
Their
dishwashing soap is non-drying on hands (For those that don’t use gloves). The
enzymes will help soften your skin while washing.
GreenWorx hand
sanitiser is non-drying on hands putting good bacteria on your skin while
killing off the bad bacteria, without stripping your skin.
Most of
their products come in handy spray bottles which make it easy to handle. These
can also be refilled. I suggest making a concerted effort to try these amazing
products before making your own conclusion.

their bugs eat yours!
