15+ SNEAKY Toxic Chemicals To Avoid (That You Use Everyday!)

[@luceliapretorius4155]

I have always been a person who believes in using bleach to keep floors clean and toilets. I have OCD and to me there seemed no other way to get your house clean. a few weeks ago i started getting problems with my lungs and it hurts everytime i breathe in. I had to go to the hospital. And i got medication to fix it but now everytime i use bleach or any floor cleaner with a scent my lungs get those pains again. Also i never really heard of the importance of avoiding certain chemicals. This was proabbly the only video. Which is kind of upsetting. I have decided to get rid of all these chemicals in my house and just use vinegar and baking soda until i find more alternatives. Thanks so much for this video!

[@TheBiblicalNutritionist]

good for you!!!

[@LovesJesus09876]

Good job!!! Hydrogen peroxide is a safe bleach alternative with no odor!

[@happyhomemakerandmom]

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) uses vary widely due to its potent antimicrobial properties and gentle nature. Unlike bleach, which can be harsh and irritating to the skin and mucous membranes, HOCl is gentle and non-toxic, making it safer for many applications. They have machines to make this. It's just distilled water vinegar and Celtic salt. And then the machine does something to change it to hypochlorous acid. Store it in an Amber bottle and it should last you 4 weeks to 8 weeks. I have some right now that has been made since the end of January and still works just fine.

[@vickieadams6648]

I'm the🤔 same way. I don't know what else to do. I lost my sense of smell and that might be why.

[@luceliapretorius4155]

Great video with lots of interesting information, thank you! People usually forget to mention the CUMULATIVE effect of toxic chemicals, which makes everything more complicated. If you use harsh cleaning products, AND if you wear traditional makeup, AND wear mostly clothes with PFAS right against your skin such as leggings and you sweat in them, AND if you also cook mostly in non stick pans, AND if you use a yoga mat that picks up PFAS from your carpet, AND if you drink tap water that contains PFAS, well… even if it’s a small amount of toxic chemicals for each product it can add up to dangerous levels that can trigger serious health issues. Another concern is the COCKTAIL effect, when many different toxic chemicals create strange sets of symptoms and illnesses when they accumulate in a person’s body. This is very difficult to study because every person reacts differently and scientists don’t know how this mix of chemicals is truly affecting our body. Since there are endless possibilities regarding the type of chemicals, their toxicity level, their concentration and the way they interact with other chemicals in our blood, organs etc… there really is no way to study the effects all these toxic chemicals have on our body. The future doesn’t look good though, as we use more and more plastics including silicone cooking molds and a million other products that are supposed to make our life easier. People don’t realize that they are ingesting very unhealthy particles and feeding them to their kids too 😢 If we could just wake up and go back to simpler products made of healthier materials like linen for our clothes, and cast iron or glass for our cooking molds, now that would be a good start. When people want to exercise they go play soccer or softball on an athletic field covered with Astroturf filled with crumb rubber, which is made of tiny pieces of old car tires 🤮 Nobody seems concerned about the heavy metals and other toxic chemicals found in this recycled rubber, it’s really puzzling. Then they take their kids to a playground that has a soft ground cover made of rubber pellets glued together aka PIP (“Pour In Place” rubber flooring) which is also from old car tires. Nobody seems worried about their kids crawling all over this type of flooring with bare hands then eating a snack without washing or even wiping their hands to avoid ingesting too much rubber dust, no problem! Only a few counties in the US have banned these rubber pellets but most towns are now installing a PIP rubber flooring in their kids playgrounds and Astroturf on their athletic fields. No wonder kids who play several times a week on those fields have such a high rate of leukemia or other cancers, especially the goalies who are in contact with the toxic rubber pellets… Our homes are filled with toxic stuff, and people have no problem putting pieces of furniture like IKEA in their kids room, not realizing that the glue in these particle boards releases toxic airborne formaldehyde particles that are very unhealthy, especially for youngsters. Even smart people are still heating up their food in a microwave in a plastic container or worse in a cardboard box from the restaurant, not realizing that there are PFAS in the lining of the box. I have a friend who’s all about clean living, healthy lifestyle etc… but she has no problem putting her kids’ plastic lunch boxes in the dishwasher everyday, it’s disheartening…She doesn’t want to hear the fact that BPAs and other toxic chemicals get released because of the heat in there 🙄 I have another friend who’s an environmentalist but she mostly wears synthetic fabrics and doesn’t care about the tiny pieces of nylon or polyester that her clothes shed during each wash in her machine. Where does she think all these microplastics end up if not in the ocean? It’s really sad because we now have access to lots of information about this stuff online but most people don’t want to change their bad, lazy habits. I’m afraid the force of inertia is far too great, and people love their stretchy clothes, silicone cooking molds, cheap furniture and stain resistant sofas way too much to give them up. How can we remain hopeful when even smart people don’t want to hear the truth about toxic chemicals in their clothes, homes, playgrounds etc…?

It's a huge problem in Indonesia, 9/10 drivers have these horrible fresheners in their cars🥵

What do you do about mold and mildew?

[@ladycharlotte8693]

Soak with dawn dish soap, vinigar and water, if your shower is bad, deep clean and after each shower take a beach towel and dry everything down , the shower will stay clean and you’ll not give mold a place to grow

[@joan9431]

What about dishwasher products?.?

[@razamughal4582]

Just a minute ago I soaked a white towel which will be used for a soon to be born baby girl. I added vanish white powedr and standard soap persil and some vinegar. When I rinse it out I will soak it again in warm water and just vinegar. Vinegar softens it and hopefully the towel will come out white.

[@northernnomiehomie]

If not, maybe try a tiny bit of Mrs. Stewart’s Concentrated Liquid Non-Toxic Bluing?

[@razamughal4582]

@@northernnomiehomie it did not get as white as I hoped or as soft as I hoped.

[@northernnomiehomie]

@razamughal4582 I'm no expert on blueing, but I hear good things about it's whitening abilities. Maybe also try fluffing it up with some wool dryer balls or 5-6 balled up pairs of dry socks for softeness?

Confession: if I find one of those airbombs in a public bathroom, it gets unplugged and stowed in a cabinet.

[@deniseherud]

there's no need to use more than baking soda, vinegar, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide--just basic stuff. i ditched all the chemicals years ago bc the fumes were just overwhelming. I wish ppl would dryer balls instead of fabric softener--that stuff is so overpowering it seeps into the foods at the bargain stores. just gross

[@katie7748]

I know the feeling. I will only buy certain things at local Amish stores. The whole place, no matter which one I go to, reeks of various spices...which permeates just about everything else in the store. Noodles, bread, etc.

[@renmuffett]

I live in a small town with little options for soaps or detergents. I have never even heard of the oroducts you mentioned because it's not available here. 😢 And ordering Branch Basics is way out of my budget. Holy cow! You would have to be wealthier than the majority of people in this country.

[@jacquelineteale4937]

Hi! You can buy cheap white vinegar, add lemon, or orange peels, and use your old spray bottle for cleaning your toilet, sink, windows. Buy a large box of bicarbonate of soda, this works well with vinegar for unblocking sink, getting tiles clean, ovens, etc. Look up LITTLE DIY on KZbin, she does short, easy to follow videos of natural alternatives. God bless you ❤

[@katie7748]

For less than $2, you can make laundry "detergent." 1 cup salt 1.5 cup baking soda 1.5 cup washing soda (make your own by putting baking soda in the oven at 350F for an hour, stirring every 15min) Few drops of essential oil, if desired Mix Use 1-2Tbsp per average-sized load. Instead of fabric softener, 1/2cup vinegar.

Any suggestions how to naturally remove stains such as turmeric and beetroot from work top ? Vinegar doesn’t seem to do the job , only bleach 😢

[@Susan1937Fisher]

I think you are pretty much stuck with those, but you could applique a patch over the stain, or do some embroidery over it. Turmeric and beet are the absolute worst to get out, so covering may be your only option. I wear old clothes when I'm working with turmeric. Hope this helps.

A note on chamomile. It's in Branch brand. I do am very allergic to ragweed. Chamomile is in th ragweed family, at least Paul Harvey said so many years ago. Truth: I haven't checked to see if he was right. But just in case he was, and just in case a listener is very allergic to it too. There it is. Do check it out yourself.

I can't afford $15 $17 for laundry soap. that is part of the huge problem we have in this country. I would LOVE to be able to eat and live clean like I did many years ago, but the cost of living is just not allowing me too. Surviving at the moment is priority. We do the best we can. When bread is 5 dollars a loaf, milk is almost 5 and eggs are almost 4, something has to give.

[@Dani._ella]

You can make your own laundry soap for very cheap. All products can be found in Walmart or some in dollar tree. 1. Box of Kosher salt 2. Box of Arm and hammer washing soda 3. Box of Borax 4 . bag of epsom salt. Should cost you $10-$15 dollars. Or less. Mix all in a big bucket. Use a scoop per wash. Lasts forever . Get a gallon bottle of white vinegar. Use half a cup in rinse cycle for softener. Works fantastic. My clothes never smelled fresher.
