Your house maybe clean, but is it healthy?

Since I have been talking about spring cleaning this past week, I’ve been paying attention to what other people have been saying and writing about the subject. It occured to me today that not matter what method you use to clean that everyone’s goal is still a cleaner, healthier home. But, what if your clean home, isn’t a healthier home. What if your cleaning could actually make your family sick. Have you ever thought about what you are using to clean and disinfect your home? A lot of us grew up on and still use bleach-based and lysol-based cleaners because they “kill everything”. That’s just it. They kill “everything”. Our family has used natural cleaners since I was in high school (a couple years ago 
) to keep us all healthier. Our family is about the healthiest around. How many people do you know who kept “busy” this winter with sick kids?! Increasing your odds of a healthy family can be as easy as changing a couple habits.
Anyway, Hip Organic Mama has a great post on why to use natural cleaners and healthier cleaning products you can make at home. I use a lot of these plus I order products from Melaleuca.com. Just something to think about as we spring clean!
