I enjoy cleaning my house, in fact, I find cleaning therapeutic. However, when I was pregnant I noticed that a lot of my normal cleaning solutions were making me light headed and caused shortening of breath. At first, I thought I was extra sensitive because I was carrying twins, but then it dawned on me that I needed to check my cabinets and read the labels of the cleaning supplies I was using. Once checked many of the cleaning supplies that I learned to use as a child were toxic and harmful. I recently found the following video to be a useful guide and resource.
If you have some favorite cleaning non-toxic cleaning supplies that you buy or use. Please share them below.
