Cleaning the kitchen can be hard work. Most people have a variety of household cleaners under the sink for each cleaning problem. To get things clean it takes a lot of muscle and 'elbow grease' to get the job done. Unfortunately, the harder you work, the more you breathe in dangerous fumes.
Problem: Keep Out Of Reach Of Children
Have you read the precautions and warnings on the back of those cleaners under your sink? STOP --- go to your kitchen right now and grab one of your household cleaners. Read the back of the product. Pretty scary stuff.
I have glanced at many of these warnings and precautions on the back of the household cleaners, and until recently - I continued using these cleaners. Many of these cleaners suggest using the products with adequate ventilation. I do not know the size of your bathroom, but most bathrooms are tiny with poor ventilation. Your eyes burn and you try to hold your breath. You try to clean the bathroom quickly so you don't breathe in too many of the fumes.
Solution: Safe Non-toxic Cleanser
There is an alternative to many of these household cleaners and it is a safe, non-toxic all-purpose cleaner called Botanic Gold?. But first, here are some of the warnings posted on many of the products you probably have in your home right now:
Comet with Bleach? Liquid Cleaner - CAUTION: MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION,
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Contains bleach. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not mix with other products, especially toilet bowl cleaners, acidic cleaners, or products that contain ammonia as irritating fumes may result.
Formula 409 Spray All Purpose Cleaner? - Keep out of reach of children. Causes eye irritation. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
PineSol Cleaner? Eye and skin irritant. Harmful, if swallowed. Do not get in eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Lysol Basin Tub & Tile Cleaner? - Keep out of reach of children. May cause eye irritation, avoid contact with eyes or skin.
Dow Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner? - Causes burns to skin and eyes on contact.
I mention these household cleaners because I have used them to clean my own house. I remember cleaning my oven with the Dow Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner? and although I had gloves on --- I could still feel the vapors burning my hands through the gloves.
Easy and Wipes-off Clean
Now imagine if you had one all multi cleaner that cleans grease off the stove with ease. In fact, this same cleaner will remove wax from votive candle holders. It can clean the grime off your car and gummy price tags wipe-off clean.
This one product I use every morning to wash my face. I am amazed how squeaky clean my face feels after I wash my face. I could go on with more testimonials but the truth is you, the results are in the bottle.
I leave you with one last testimonial. One of my customers uses it to clean her cat box. She said it was the only thing she has found that neutralized (removed) the smell of cat urine from the plastic litter box.
Be safe, healthy and well. Thank You

Fire Proof Safe Home
After a living space has been flooded, it is an experience that will never be forgotten. Even when there is a foot or less of water in a residence for a few days, it may leave behind destruction that can take weeks or months and thousands of dollars to repair. There are some items that may be damaged severely and have to be discarded completely.
The amount of devastation a home can get because of flood waters will completely depend on how deep the water was in the living space and how long it was present. The quicker the water has receded, the lesser the amount of damage you will have. The decision of whether you may have to hire a expert clean up crew could depend on how much destruction has taken place.
After all the water has gone out, make sure there is no electricity on in the home and that the gas is also off. If you do not know how to make sure theses things are off, get in touch with the utility companies and wait for them. If your residence was standing in water for weeks, you will want to have it examined before you enter it at all because major structural damage might have taken place and it may be unsafe. If a residence has been flooded a number days or longer, the probability of mold development is usually certain. You should wear protective apparel and a breathing mask to prevent taking in toxic mold spores or any other air born contaminates.
When you do go into the residence, the first thing on the list is take out anything that that can be saved. A lot of belongings like dishes and plastic things will not be affected much, even though they will need to be cleaned.
Once you figure out the amount of the home's contents that will be thrown out, you will need to go ahead and remove them. Piling discarded articles on the ground outdoors is alright, but if you can acquire a truck or dumpster to put it in, it will prevent you from having to move it again later.
After all electronics, furniture, appliances, and other personal things has been gotten out, you may start examining the floors and walls. When you only had a small amount of water in the living space for a couple of days or less, you will probably not have to remove any floors and carpeting.
A lot of times they might be restored without removing them. At this stage of the clean up, you will likely need advice of a professional water damage business to tell you what your individual house calls for next.
