I think bleach is fine. BUT as I mentioned I am going to do more in-depth research, thanks for your input and support, stay healthy!
Katherine Davouris, I must write an article highlighting the ingredients thought to cause cancer. I will get on that.
Used Dreft laundry detergent when my kids were babies. Have not seen that reviewed with more recent information.
Is it ever OK to use bleach. I have made my own housecleaning products, and happy with the results. Not sure what to substitute for bleach in the laundry, and cleaning mold. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
I look forward to meeting your wife, I'm sure we will get on famously. Enjoy better health and green living. Looking forward to chatting with your wife. :)K
My wife using chemical cleaners and they give me a headache. The smell of bleach and other harsh cleaners send direct pain to my brain, I leave the house. I'm sending this to her inbox and we will have a long talk today. Thanks katiem2 for another helpful piece to better our lives. BTW, my wife seems to be a bit jealous of you. Once she meets you via these websites I'm sure she will understand your appeal.
I agree Sheilamarie, It is a great versatile and all natural product safe and powerful.
I love using many of these natural products around the house. Baking soda, especially, is one of my best friends (in a manner of speaking).
Brenda, I did not know that. I will give that a go very soon. My kids complain about the smell of vinegar, I'm sure the club soda doesn't have that issue. Thanks :)K
Great article Katie. I use vinegar and baking powder for cleaning. Did you know that club soda makes a great window cleaner, and it is much cheaper too.
