We are becoming increasingly aware that so many of the cleansers we use in our homes on a daily basis are not good for our health or the environment.  We have been brainwashed over the years to believe that we can’t get the job done without these harsh, chemically laden products.  And yet so many of us continue using them because we don’t have an alternative.  We do now!  Please visit us every Wednesday for tips on healthier alternatives to our every day cleaning needs.  Today’s tip:
