A toxic substance means any chemical or mixture that may be harmful to the environment and to human health if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. Did you know that some toxic substances are found in nature? There are naturally occurring toxins (poisonous substances coming from living organisms) found in certain plants like poinsettias and even some wild mushrooms and berries. However, the toxic substances contained in most everyday household products are synthetic which means they are man-made. The opposite of toxics substances are called non-toxic substances. Non-toxic substances are safe to use, and do not harm humans and the environment.

Many of the products you find in your home may have toxic substances. These products include:

• drain cleaners;
• oven cleaners;
• laundry detergents;
• floor or furniture polish;
• paints, and
• pesticides.
While these products are useful at home, some of the chemicals in these products can irritate your skin, eyes, nose and throat, or can even poison you – so be careful!

In 2004 our family teamed up with a company that uses natural substances in their cleaning products. One of the qualities of this company is the blatant lack of safety caps. Why no safety caps? Because they are against dangerous chemicals those caps are supposed to make the product “safer.” Instead, they use natural, innovative ingredients to clean and disinfect without all of the toxic side effects.

You won’t find these products on the shelves of the grocery store. And you certainly won’t see them on television. The only way you’ll hear about them is from someone who’s used them personally. Our family has evaluated these products on our own terms and deemed them to be extraordinary. We would like to take this opportunity to share our experiences with you.
