Household poisons that we love

by

Noting that what makes household products clean so effectively is also what makes it kill living tissue, including our own, my wife and I tend to use natural cleaning agents such as baking soda and vinegar. My wife likes to mix the two together, because it seems more impressive. I think it neutralizes them, but oh well. Before we got pregnant, we cleaned fifty years of soot from our chimney with those products and a stiff brush. Amazing results. But we could have used a sandblaster, sulphuric acid, or nuclear fusion. It would have eliminated the stains. And the house.

The New Homemaker has the run down on Household Cleaners: The 3 Worst Poisons Under the Sink.

About Parent Extremis

You're at the right place if the subject is home birth or homeschooling, attachment or separation, circumcision or vaccinations, natural remedies or television, gentle parenting or authoritative parenting, discipline or freedom.
