The cleaning products that line the shelves in our stores are packed full of harmful chemicals. How is it possible that these products can be so widely distributed if they are so harmful? The regulations these products are withheld to allow certain amounts of these chemicals to be added into the products; Amounts that are deemed to be safe enough in ‘small’ amounts. Unfortunately, more and more people are discovering how sensitive they are to these chemicals, especially the ones that are included in our everyday cleaning that we use for things like wiping down our kitchen cupboards, cleaning our windows, scrubbing our showers and toilets, and washing our floors. Did you know that even the detergent we use to wash our dishes that we eat off of everyday contains chemicals that are poisonous if ingested orally? Luckily there are companies such as Sun & Earth, Inc. that are releasing lines of products that are safe as can be to use anywhere in your home. They are petroleum, chlorine, phosphate, dye and perfume free, and are just as effective as any other product out there.
The greatest thing about Sun & Earth products is that when you clean, you don’t feel like you need to plug your nose to keep yourself from inhaling any of the chemical fumes coming from the product. Instead, Sun & Earth products exude a very pleasant citrus smell, that you won’t mind having around. Sun & Earth offers the most basic products such as dishwashing detergent and All Purpose Cleaner Spray to more unique products like fabric softener and glass cleaner. It’s easy to be skeptical about how well an organic product might work on dishes that are greasy and have food caked on them, or clothes that have grass stains and mud on them but I must say that after trying some of these products out I was rather impressed at how well they worked, not to mention how easy it was to use them.
The Sun & Earth All Purpose Spray Cleaner worked so well on my kitchen. It left everything I wiped down clean, and fresh and it had a really great citrus smell. I ended up not only wiping down countertops and appliances, but I used it on my wood cupboards, my kitchen table, and I even got down and dirty and used the product on my Pergo floors. Voted the #1 all purpose cleaner in independent laboratory studies, the all purpose cleaner can truly be used for anything in your house. It doesn’t contain harsh chemicals so you don’t have to worry about it damaging any surfaces. It can be used around pets and children, so you won’t have to worry about what you’re exposing your family to.
For those of you who like to cook, and in the process, tend to get a lot of dishes dirty and stuck with gunk, you know how important it is to have a detergent to wash your dishes with that will loosen up anything that you have dried on your dishes and it will rinse clean. Sun & Earth’s Ultra Dishwashing Liquid was voted “Best Grease Cutter” by Organic Style Magazine. It even contains aloe Vera; a natural moisturizer that will keep you from getting those dish-pan-hands. Pair it with the Sun & Earth Liquid Hand Soap which is very gentle, and your hands will look like they haven’t seen a day of dishwashing in their time (Too bad it’s not true!) If you’re used to running the dishwasher Sun & Earth also carries Automatic Dishwasher Detergent which comes in little individual packs to just drop in the dishwasher and go. Don’t worry its streak free and leaves a great shine.
A lot of the laundry product companies are coming out with detergents and products that are free of dyes and perfumes, which is a great start for ridding our households of harmful chemicals, however these detergents still include chemicals that are hazardous to our health. Sun and Earth offers a line of laundry products such as Deep Cleaning Laundry Detergent, Ultra Fabric Softener and their newest item: Dryer Sheets which are hypoallergenic, non-toxic, biodegradable, and come in both unscented and citrus scented. None of these products have an overwhelming scent like some detergents can have. They have a very light citrus scent like the other Sun and Earth cleaning products that are part of the line, and they’re also very effective in removing stains, and keeping clothes looking new and fresh.
You can find Sun and Earth products at major retailers all over the United States, including health food stores and grocery stores. While a lot of times you pay a bit more for the organic foods and products, the price of these Sun and Earth products are exceptionally reasonable and right on par with any non-organic product. You’ll feel very confident cleaning your house with the entire line of products because they are all very safe and very effective. You can literally use them everywhere in your house even in nurseries, bathtubs and on surfaces your pets come into contact with. The Sun and Earth website offers large quantity deals, and starter packs. You can also find information on how important it is to make the switch to organic cleaning products. Once you’re aware of what’s in the products you typically clean with and what Sun and Earth can offer you and your family, you won’t ever go back!
