<\/a><\/p>\nThe one thing that I have made a conscience decision on improving though is my cleaning supplies. \u00a0Prior to kids, I would just purchase whatever was on sale. \u00a0However, once my son grew up and started crawling all over our wooden floors, eating off our floors, and touching EVERY. SINGLE. THING, I decided it was time to take action. \u00a0I made the decision to only purchase and use natural cleaning products. \u00a0One of those products is Seventh Generation<\/a>. \u00a0 I recently attended a Seventh Generation event where I learned about 7-steps-for-a-do-it-yourself home detox. \u00a0They’re really easy and simple and I think that even if you do a few of them, it will make a big difference. \u00a0Here they are:<\/p>\n 1. OPEN THE WINDOWS –\u00a0Air inside is often more polluted than outdoor air. Open your windows daily to ventilate.<\/p>\n 2. LEAVE SHOES AT THE DOOR – Roughly 70 percent of household dust, pests, pollutants and dirt (which often contains lead and chemicals) are tracked indoors on the bottom of shoes. If you’re dealing with a pest problem, Ozzie Pest Control Ipswich<\/a> is the solution you need!<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0PLANT MORE INDOOR PLANTS –\u00a0Plants don\u2019t just brighten your home; they can also help absorb impurities in the air.<\/p>\n 4. CLEAN WITH PLANT BASED OR DIY CLEANERS – Choose plant-based household cleaning products that are free of harsh solvents, dyes and synthetic fragrances. Additionally, if you\u2019re looking to clear out old storage structures, Roanoke Junk Removal & Dumpster Rental does shed demos Roanoke<\/a>, VA, offering a convenient solution for your cleanup needs.<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0SLEEP ON ORGANIC AND OR NATURAL FIBRES – Not only are they more comfortable, but they don’t contain any toxic chemicals making for a better night sleep.<\/p>\n 6. DETOX YOUR HOME FROM THE OUTSIDE IN – Tackle weeds and pests without chemicals. Spray your lawn with white vinegar or spread a natural mulch over affected areas, or you can use a service for pests, look at here now<\/a> to find more about this.<\/p>\n 7.\u00a0CHOOSE TOYS MADE FROM NATURAL MATERIALS –\u00a0Purchase toys, cribs, and bedding made from natural materials, like solid woods with non-toxic finishes and natural textiles like\u00a0organic cotton or wool.<\/p>\n One lucky Mayahood reader will win\u00a0a Seventh Generation\u00a0home detox kit valued at $50.<\/strong>\u00a0Enter the giveaway via Rafflecopter below (please\u00a0give it a\u00a0few seconds to load).\u00a0\u00a0Contest is open to all residents of Canada.\u00a0Contest ends Wednesday July 30, 2014.\u00a0Good-luck!<\/p>\n<\/a>Their products use only\u00a0plant-derived ingredients\u00a0 which aren’t only great for the environment and for your family, but they actually work at getting the job done.
