Looking after it probably means embarking on a regular cleaning schedule where you vacuum the carpet at least once a week. There will be areas of the house that have more traffic than others especially around doorways and other...

To start with you should take inventory of your kitchen and throw away food, spices or medicines that have passed their expiration date. If there are any utensils or pots and pans that you haven't used in over a year or two, you should consider donating them. Now that you have reduced the amount of clutter in your cabinets, take the rest out and wash down your cupboards and your drawers. Then replace your drawers with liners and your cupboards with paper.

If you have some that do not have lids that fit, again consider donations. There's...

If you are taking the time to read this you more than likely consider yourself a health conscious person. So, if you consciously make healthy decisions for yourself, good for you! If you have children, as I do, I imagine you are also trying to teach them how to make healthy decisions as well. Health decisions though are not just limited to what we feed ourselves or the exercise we routinely (hopefully) are able to do. This article deals with a concept in environmental health called cumulative impact (CR). What is CR? At the macro or community level, it deals with all the things a community is exposed to: all the different nearby sources of air pollution, water pollution, etc. Federal, and most state...

I have a confession to make. When I first began my search for the best in home water purification system, it was only because I wanted to have a convenient source of GREAT-TASTING water. It never occurred to me seriously wonder, "what does tap water contain?" All I knew was that it contained an unpleasant taste that I wanted to get rid of. Little did I know that my research would lead to some astounding revelations about what millions of people are, unknowingly, drinking every day. So just what does tap water contain? If its being provided by a city water treatment system, then it is likely to have traces of a vast array of synthetic chemicals. These substances, over 2100 so far, are the by-products...

We are exposed daily to hundreds of products that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These compounds emit chemicals which vaporize at room temperature (65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit). Breathing these vapors is a major health risk. Some examples of products that contain these compounds are paint, varnish, wax, solvents, household cleaning supplies, building materials, copiers, and printers, glues, photographic solutions, new wood furniture, upholstery, pressed wood furniture, new carpet, second hand cigarette smoke, moth balls, gasoline and diesel fumes, and the list goes on and on. It is obvious from the list above that is almost impossible to completely avoid many of these products. Here are...

Today we live in a world far different from the one our great grandparents knew for most of their lives. Since the 1950's, billion of tons of synthetic chemicals have been and are being dumped into our environment on a yearly basis, which eventually find their way into our bodies through food, water and air. Professor Jonathan Brostoff, Emeritus of Allergy and Environmental Health, Kings College, London has stated, "Someone who is eating an average diet and drinking unfiltered tap water is likely to ingest and be exposed to at least 200 different synthetic chemicals and chemical cocktails everyday." The human body's systems of elimination (liver, kidneys, skin, lungs, bowels and lymphatic system...

We know intuitively that a body flush will benefit our bodies and make us healthier overall. After all, with toxins gone, the human body functions at optimal levels. However, many of us are not certainly precisely what "toxins" need removing. Here are some of them. 1. Free Radicals These are atoms or groups of them with an odd quantity of electrons. When oxygen interacts with particular molecules, free radicals can form. Free radicals become problematic and create the need for a body flush when they create a chain reaction and begin damaging vital cellular mechanisms, such as cell membranes and DNA. The bad news is that when this happens, cells could function improperly or may even die. On the...

A few years back, my husband was working 60 hours a week and we were barely making ends meet. One day, while eating lunch, he needed to use the men's room. He noticed the restroom could use a better cleaning and right then and there he made a decision to start his own janitorial service. He washed his hands and went to find the owner. He brought him into the men's room and showed him the problem. The owner agreed that it was indeed an ongoing problem getting his employees to keep the restrooms in tip-top shape. My husband made him an offer he could not refuse (not while the problem was looming in his face). My husband stopped in each day and cleaned and mopped both restrooms (this was like 8 yrs ago...

Are you tired of cleaning grimy fingerprints off restroom faucets and soap dispensers? Indeed. One of the major sources of customer complaints is restroom cleanliness. The reasons for this go beyond the abilities of your cleaning staff. The more traffic a building gets the harder it is to keep high cleaning standards, especially if you are cleaning the building only once or twice a week. Restrooms can have problems with odors, general appearance, empty dispensers, leaky soap dispensers and wads of paper towels stacked up on the floor. Besides not looking clean, this leads to a perception that the restroom is not sanitary. Installing touchless dispensers can help to control these problems...

Their baskets are filled with intriguingly scented fresh lavender stalks nicely bundled, and fresh lavender buds in fine linen sachets. Passer-bys can't resist to buy such treasure.

They are all gone now... But the lavender lady is still alive. Walking down the streets, sometimes gently singing, sometimes calling out: "Fresh lavender! Who buys my lavender?" Their long flowing skirts remind of gipsies. Eyes...

Although many businesses use green cleaning techniques, many people still believe green cleaning simply means avoiding chemical cleaners and switching to biodegradable chemicals. However, innovative cleaning machines such as steam cleaners can also be included within the category of green cleaning products. Hot steam is an unbelievably powerful force that can easily clean tough grime, stubborn stains, and hardened dirt built-up on a range of surfaces without using any harsh cleaning chemicals. In addition to deep cleaning surfaces, the hot vapor steam generated by vapor steam cleaners can deodorize the surfaces you clean. Harsh chemicals often leave behind harmful residues that can cause allergies...

When it comes to cleaning, commercial cleaning supplies often get the boot in cleaning books. Comparably, the difference between using commercial and natural cleaning solutions is the time and effort required to scrub, having a clean green feeling, and the safety of our health. Natural cleaning may not be preferable for everyone, but it's good to know the differences between natural and commercial cleaning products.

Many commercial cleaners don't always require these extended periods of time, or if they do they don't require as much...

Pressure cleaners, sometimes also referred to as water blasters and steam cleaners (in relation to hot water machines), is an area of technology which has been dominated by the Italians with a strong manufacturing industry supporting this product category.

Only recently, China has begun manufacturing and now have many manufacturing bases cloning cleaners based on cleaners from Italy. Whilst the entry of China into the pressure cleaner market has been very quick, the quality of the manufacturing process as well as the materials used are not the same as used in Italy. The particular...
