Chemical-free household product

I have become increasingly concerned about the chemicals that surround us in our day-to-day lives and when I hear that 50% of cancers are preventable, this makes me determined to minimize the risks from those preventables in our lives.

My friends know that I am an ardent watchdog, always seeking to change to products and services that are friendly to our health as well as the health of mother earth. But I hadn’t thought of this until I was talking with a friend recently …

Pink Solution (PS) has been around a long time. We bought a tub of the pink jel-like cleaner at a Home Show many years ago and while we were convinced of its efficacy based on a demonstration at that time, we weren’t as aware as we are now of the health hazards associated with regular cleaning materials, so it wasn’t used for long … until now.

My friend told me she uses it for all her household cleaning tasks and that it works wonders, even for steam-cleaning carpets. So I went out and bought a new tub – the product is no longer pink, but white. It cost just $22.99 for a one-litre tub and my local hardware store, and this amount will last a long time since it is more often used diluted.

The container states that that the multi-purpose cleaner is non-toxic, organic and bio-degradable product, and – a BIG plus here – safe to use around children and animals. Also, that the solution (you make up a light or heavy mix depending on desired use), can be used as “the one cleaner that is only limited by your imagination.” Apparently, PS can be used for a multitude of jobs, including kitchens, floors, pets, fireplaces, stone, vehicles, boats, campers etc., bathrooms, carpets and upholstery. Of course, though, as with all non-food products, PS should be kept out of the reach of children.
I made up spray bottles of the light and the heavy mixes and am now using them for everything, from stone to stainless steel. And best of all … it works without any chemicals!
