But recent research by Dr Dick Irwin of the Texas A & M University (toxicology’s), shows that “chemicals have replaced bacteria and viruses as the main threat to our health.”

In general, people are aware of chemicals in a lot of the products they buy, but most people really do not delve into just how much there is and even more concerning, the type of chemicals that are in the products they buy.

It is not so many years ago that much of the things that we ate or lived with, were organic, not by design, but just because that was the way it was.

How things have changed. Today manufacturers are looking at the end result and ‘the bottom line’ and unless there are laws about what they can put in and on products, they will use any lethal chemical without a second thought, to get the result they want.  Every year there are products withdrawn because a company has been found out.

If you are a manufacture of any note in this day and age you are aware of international laws, and laws of the countries that you are sending your products to.  But do you think that matters?   Not a jot to some manufacturers, if they think they can get away with it and it is going to cost less to make, they will give it a try.

There are many household items that cross this chemical barrier and it is even worse in the household cleaning products.  That is why we concentrate on ‘green cleaning’.  We believe in it, and we LIVE IT!
