Many cleaning items, such as polishes, soaps, and waxes, contain very strong chemicals that can pollute our environment. Because of these agents, many of us have health problems. As consumers, we need to educate ourselves about these problems and find solutions to them. One of the best things that you can do to help protect the environment and your health is to use all-natural household products. For example, you can make a homemade jewelry cleanser. To make cleanser, mix warm water with toothpaste, chemical-free liquid soap, and baking soda. You can also make an air freshener by and with very little effort. Simply pour vanilla extract into small, open containers and place them in different rooms around the house. If you have a cotton shirt that has a vegetable oil stain on it, try rubbing a little salt and lemon directly on the stain before tossing intoit into the washing machine. Clearly, switching to all-natural cleaning products is easy and inexpensive. Doing so also shows that you care about other people and the world you live in. To find more tips about how you can make all-natural products, search the Internet or visit your local library or bookstore.
