• “A major portion of the toxic and hazardous chemicals that you have and use in your home can be found in your cleaning products” (Source – Prosperity without pollution; Hirschorn and Oldenburg, 1991).

• Cleaning chemicals are the most frequent type of chemicals involved in poisonings reported to ‘Poison Control Centers’ in the United States. Most occur in children under the age of 6.

• “Indoor air is often two to five times more contaminated than outdoor air” (American Lung Association). In addition to industrial and outdoor air pollutants, the Canadian Lung Association highlights residential pesticides and indoor chemical pollutants found in many common household products as causes and triggers of respiratory illnesses.

• “The toxic chemicals in household cleaners are three times more likely to cause cancer than air pollution” - Environmental Protection Agency, 1985.

• “Women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than those who work away from home.” The 15-year study concluded it was a direct result of the much higher exposure rate to toxic chemicals in common household products (Toronto Indoor Air Conference 1990).

• The Consumer Product Safety Commission on ”CHEMICALS COMMONLY FOUND IN THE HOME” identified 150 as linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities.

• The EPA tallied close to 10,000 chemical ingredients in cosmetics, food and consumer products. Very few of these chemicals were in our environment or our bodies just 75 years ago…and except in the case of foods, drugs or pesticides, companies are under no legal or regulatory obligation to assess how these products might harm human health…and most have not been tested as such.

• Recent medical and scientific studies suggest that chronic exposure to low levels of synthetic chemicals and “toxins” found in indoor air pollution may be linked to numerous health concerns, including but not limited to: allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases, cancer, Alzheimer’s, ADD ( Attention Deficit Disorder ) ; and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. Unfortunately, people overlook the cumulative effect of repeated exposure to cleaning chemicals since no one is really affected by a single exposure of handling them.

Imagine a cloth that kills 99.9% of bacteria using just water. And it works much better than a regular cloth, picking up dirt more than twice as efficiently as a regular cloth, and leaving your surfaces streak-free.  Well, such a thing does exist.  It’s called an “Enviro” microfiber cloth, lined with antibacterial silver, and made by Norwex.  And this is only one example.

I’m excited about this company because not only do their products work much better than what I’ve been using all along, but their cleaning tools DON’T USE CHEMICALS!  Just water, that’s all it takes, and you will have a spotless germ-free kitchen, mirror, floor…you name it.

And the best part of course…you can buy it from….me!  Seriously though, I would be promoting this even if I wasn’t getting money out of it, so I figured I might as well make a comission if I’m going to be so excited about it!

I would love to come do a show at your place…hostesses/hosts get lots of free stuff, there are prizes and the shows are great fun.  And you save your health and money in the long run.
