I can Breathe!

I don't know how many of you have had problems while cleaning. I KNOW the bottles all say don't breathe in the vapors, but I haven't been able to figure out how to clean without breathing (and can't afford those great masks that would allow me to clean and breathe.

But if you've read my brief article on getting rid of the toxic chemicals from our home, you know we are now cleaning with non-toxic cleaners. And I can clean the bathroom! I can scrub our floor on my hands and knees without taking a breathing break. I can even clean around my child and he has NO reaction! (This is a child whose eyes would swell closed if I used 1/4 cup bleach in the basement 2 floors down in 1 load of laundry while he was sleeping.)

And the products work, too! So I can't complain on that end either!

I am happy, toxin free, and breathing easier. (I can honestly say I went from 1 hospital visit per month for uncontrolled asthma to no asthma attacks and no asthma meds since getting rid of the chemicals! Yea!)

Be well!
