Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobody wants toxic chemicals in their home. However, many people do have such chemicals where they live, but are unaware of these lurking dangers. We live in a culture where toxic chemicals are just a part of life. Or so it sometimes seems. And they just seem to creep into our homes. Once toxic chemicals are in our homes, it may seem daunting, almost impossible, to get them out. We try everything, short of exorcism, to be rid of them. Sometimes nothing seems to work. Over 30 years of attempts, failures, and successes at ridding our homes of toxic chemicals have led to the creation of this plan. It takes a lot of work. And you will no doubt be overwhelmed by it at first. But the plan does work. And the end results are worth both the time and the effort. Removing toxic chemicals from a home often results in the inhabitants being better able to breathe, being sick less often, and having more energy. It takes time. But it can be accomplished step by step. Do as much as you can. And do what works for you. Then move on to the next step. You may need to come back to the first steps and perform the remaining tasks. But eventually, you will work out what works for you. You will work out what rids your home from toxic chemicals to the point that you can live at peace with your home again.

Book excerpt: Mamas, let's make our homes healthy and safe together. Let me help you make the process to go natural in your home affordable, easy and fun! As a new mom in 2009, I was shocked to learn about the toxins in my home and how they can harm my family and pets. I was determined to make my home safe but felt really overwhelmed at the thought of changing over everything - I wanted a guide, someone to hold my hand walk me through the process! This book includes everything you need to know, organized in simple action steps, to clean out the toxins from your home and make it safe for you and your especially your kids. WITH THIS BOOK, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO: --> Get rid of the toxins in your home once and for all, without the stress and overwhelm --> Make your own recipes (more than 80 of them) OR buy safe products (if you're not into DIY) --> Empower yourself with knowledge about the toxins in our products and how to avoid them --> Feel confident as you create a safe and natural home for you and your loved ones --> Clean out the toxins step by step - go at your own pace!

WHY DOES ANY OF THIS MATTER? Because our governments are not protecting us from toxins in our products and food. The last time the FDA passed a chemical regulations act was in 1976 and they haven't updated it since! More than 150,000 chemicals have been introduced to the market since then that have not been tested for safety. Chemicals are considered innocent until proven guilty - many of them aren't banned until people start getting sick. We are quite literally, human experiments and this affects the smallest amount us the most - our children. Toxins abound in our cleaning products, bath and body products and cosmetics. More than 232 chemicals are found in the cord blood of infants! Most companies will use the cheapest ingredients they can source and manufacture, not giving much thought to our health and safety, especially that of our children. Is it any wonder that we are seeing more children with compromised health? ADD, ADHD, so many with food allergies, eczema, behavioral disorders - it's time to take the power back in your hands and empower yourself with knowledge so we can raise healthy families! Even our pets are affected by these chemicals as they walk on our floors that are sprayed with toxins and they enter their bodies through their paws.

Download or read book Organic Housekeeping written by Ellen Sandbeck and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longing for a kinder, gentler world? As the old saying goes, everything begins at home, and odds are, if you live in the all-American household, the air inside is more toxic than the air outside, even if you live in the most polluted of cities. You regularly handle the filthiest object in your home -- the kitchen sponge -- and put the same chemicals on your face that are used in brake fluid and antifreeze. The cleaning agents and personal care products commonly marketed to and used in American homes contain not only some very dangerous, toxic chemicals, but they also create an "overly clean," chemically bombed-out house that compromises immune systems. And with more than fifty million Americans suffering from allergies and other autoimmune diseases -- not to mention the developing and fragile immune systems of children and seniors -- large numbers of people are actually being made sicker and sicker by their homes. Learn to live a clean, healthy, more economical way with Ellen Sandbeck, the nontoxic avenger. In this must-have book for the twenty-first- century home, this passionate, witty advocate of all things organic will teach you how to maintain every part of the home -- from living room to septic tank, kitchen floor to bathroom sink -- using safe, simple cleansers and quick preventative measures as well as the most effective organic products on the market to get the job done. Learn time-saving, preventative housekeeping, such as taking thirty seconds to clean the shower while you shower. Take care of bathroom stains with baking soda and vinegar rather than commercial, toxic bathroom "bombs" peddled to you with such force by manufacturers. Need whiter whites? There is no bleaching power on earth stronger than the sun. Snow clean your fine rugs. Choose fruits and vegetables from the relatively pesticide residue-free list. Clean felt-tipped pen stains with vodka. Make furniture shine with olive oil and lemon. Your house will also smell as great as it looks.
