@@carolinejohnson9165 it’s just awful, I am really not buying processed foods, shopping the perimeter of the store, I heard a Dr say buy things with one ingredient,and I thought how true is that
large corporations are cohorts with satan's depopulation agenda. Also, consider lighting; incandescent light bulbs are the only safe way of lighting, they were government banned in August 2023.

Say NO to Fabreeze !! It is everywhere, people think they are cleaning when they spray Fabreeze on something.

@Ann-qr2pv it is! Sometimes we infuse it with citrus rinds for a few weeks. We mostly use that, baking soda, and Castile soap. Still haven't found a good laundry detergent recipe, but we have one for dish soap. Look into what's in hygiene products, too. Gave up conventional years ago. Liquid Dr. Bronner's for shampoo followed by an ACV rinse and baking soda for deodorant!
@@papabear5506 What I found using my own homemade laundry soap for years was it kind of sort of gums up the washer. Then I have to run the washing machine empty and use citric acid to clean the washer so it doesn't put this white stuff all over our clothes. I have washed my hair with castile soap too, but it is drying for my hair. White vinegar is great cleaner also instead of using disinfectant cleaner. The thing that really great about the vinegar is it doesn't mess with my skin and of course you can still breath. I tried the baking soda for deodorant but found olive oil works better for my skin issues.
@@suzyclear7668 We also hope to get a travel trailer so when we travel we can stay safely without needing a hotel. Right now, we actually will drive almost 8 hours for a trip…stay the day and drive back immediately when we are done. Because the hotels are so toxic we all get sick, even the “ cleanest” and more hypoallergenic ones smell awful too!
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!
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 Same with me. I think the years of inhaling bleach could've damaged my lungs. But we are sold that you need to use bleach for a clean home!!! It's very rare that we actually hear about the negative effects of bleach!!!
People need to underrstand that most commercial fragrances are a blend of petroleum products. There are few if any "natural" fragrances commercially available. Except essential oils from a trusted source, or flowers from the garden.
In short-people need to quit breeding commercial wool sheep into existence since they cannot self-sustain without human exploitation, and the lives of exploited creatures are inherently unethical.
The Wool Industry Is Cruel to Sheep In nature, sheep grow just enough wool to protect themselves from temperature extremes. The fleece provides them with effective insulation against both cold and heat. But because of breeding and genetic manipulation, sheep raised by the wool industry produce excessive amounts of wool.
Shearing Leaves Sheep Battered and Bloodied Shearers are usually paid by volume, not by the hour, which encourages fast work without regard for the sheep’s welfare. An investigation into shearing sheds in Australia and the U.S. uncovered rampant abuse. Shearers were caught punching sheep in the face, stomping and standing on the animals’ heads and necks, and hitting them in the face with sharp electric clippers and even a hammer.
What You Can Do No amount of fluff can hide the fact that anyone who buys wool supports a cruel and bloody industry. There are plenty of durable, stylish, and warm fabrics available that don’t contribute to animal suffering. Please join the millions of people all around the world who know that compassion is the fashion. Save a sheep-don’t buy wool.
Yess get that truth out there!! I only use vinegar...peroxide... castile soap..amd baking soda to clean my whole house. I also use vinegar in a spray bottle as a hand sanitizer in my truck☺️
I use vinegar AS A FABRIC softener. I put about half a cup in the last rinse cycle. Works like a charm. Vinegar also clears any soap residue left in your clothes at this stage.
A family member had COPD and could NOT walk down the laundry/bleach isle! They could not breathe if they did. Also had a friend start a house cleaning service. She started getting sick. It was the cleaning products that was making her sick. She went to using natural products and her problems went away!!!
It truly is amazing how a lot of the younger ladies and anyone actually that use air fresheners in their homes and cars that are so toxic and of course the HIGHLY SCENTED LAUNDRY PRODUCTS. I buy my clothes at thrift stores and a lot of the ladies clothes are smelling like laundry soaps ( very scented ) and even after many washes they still smell scented. Not good!! 👍👍☮️☮️
I wash those in baking soda, and do not put them in the dryer. I put them outside on the cloths line. I have had to wash an item five times, that a friend gave me and had it outside on the cloths line for days before it was scent free.
Annette, thank you for sharing this important topic. Just use vinegar and water it cleans wonderful. Please also with summer coming could you do a tutorial on sun screens and lotions that are bad for your health!
This is an AWESOME psa. I've been living this way for over 15 years. I also do not use deodorant, soap only on the palms of my hands, certain shampoo every 3-4 weeks, glass dishes, cast iron pans (no teflon or forever chemicals), no microwave (makes food toxic), no perfume, no antibacterial, and I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. I use a steam cleaner on my floors.
a few months after going fragrant free, my sense of smell got really strong, never realized how much chemical we put to our bodies everyday; the same way I went no added sugar, now can taste added sugar without reading the label.
No butane No QUAT No antibacterial No fragrance No pesticides Use vinegar Use hydrogen peroxide Use hot water and soap but with no alcohol No fake scents
My aunt died from a chemical reaction from cleaning. She was using a toilet cleaner with bleach while her daughter was using a window cleaner with ammonia to clean the mirror. She started feeling odd. Walked out of her bathroom, and colapsed dead on her bed. Cleaners can be deadly.
My condolences to you. I am older now without any aunties left and I miss them. Thank you for valuable information. I knew not to mix ammonia and bleach. However I did not know just a combination of the fumes was deadly.
I make cleaner by putting lemon and orange peels in a glass jar with distilled vinegar for a few weeks. I also add some cloves and a cinnamon stick. I put it in my spray mop that has washable pads and add a little water to it. No harmful chemicals. I am planning to make my own laundry detergent soon too. I bought some natural dryer sheets and the wool dryer balls. I use unscented baby mild liquid castile soap as well.
1 cup salt 1.5 cup baking soda 1.5 cup washing soda (make your own by putting baking soda in the oven at 350 for an hour, stirring every 15min) Few drops of essential oil, if desired Mix Use 1-2Tbsp per average-sized load. Less than $2.
this is true. Jesus showed me all kinds of things i had in my house to change and its amazing how much better i feel now without them. the skin care products i make mostly myself now.
I made my home as toxin/chemical free as possible for years. But these past few years I’ve been stuck living at in-laws’ home and they use a ton of toxic cleaners throughout the house, and chemicals in the lawn. I have my two young children here and praying our family can afford our own home soon 🙏🏻
I shake my head when I see all those disgusting air fresheners hanging in ppl.s cars! They’re brutal in such close quarters, I won’t get in a car if they are hanging in it.
My mom and my grandmother have always used vinegar, baking soda or hot soapy water to clean almost everything. I am glad they taught me to do so. They have always been against all these chemical products that are so harmful to us. The only time I used Pinesol to wash the floor I had such a bad headache after. Never used it again! Thank you for this video!😊
Thanks for this presentation. Over years of working with some major perfume wearers and later being around some pretty strong cleaners due to my work conditions, I got more and more sensitive and ill from these things. I try to keep my home as free from these things as possible. I have noticed that if one of my neighbors is drying clothes with much fragrance, I need to retreat to my inside of the house or end up ill.
God’s creatures deserve peace and safety. Similarly to dogs, Lambs wag their tails when they are stroked (They also softly head-butt humans when they want attention)
Yes!!! I love this video! So glad more and more peope atr realizing how toxic cleaners and fragrances are. Its a major pet peeve of mine to go outside to enjoy thr fresh air and then my neighbor starts up their dryer and pollutes the air with toxic fragrances. I havent used them in 15 yrs.
I use hot water and vinegar to wash clothes and they smell great! Vinegar softens them and they smell really good. When you eliminate fragrances your sense of smell becomes so acute! Cotton smells wonderful!
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
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.
I live in Germany, I clean my place with products from Easy Clean, I only use 3 liquits, one paste and mainly only water with special microfiber fabric, those cost a lot, but each lasts 30 years. So it is worth it. My Liv became a lot easier and a lot less clutter I the cleaning closet.
Thank you so much for this. There is something in our house that I smell overwhelmingly in every corner of it. Now I am on the hunt for exactly what it is!
Is it a rental? There might be pet urine……it ruins laminate flooring, you can’t wash it out from underneath, the floor or carpet/ pad must be fully removed…..the subfloor may have to be replaced as well. Certain breeds of dogs (pit bulls) excrete oils from their skin and coat the walls, you must wash your walls with 3/4 c vinegar, 1/4 cup dawn dish soap to a gallon, gallon and a 1/2 of water, to test your wall just rub with finger and you will feel an oily residue……my go to cleaner is for everything is vinegar and water, tiny bit of dawn or the best is Myers soap
@@DrewzDrew I'm not OP, obviously but here's mine: 1 cup salt 1.5 cup baking soda 1.5 cup washing soda (can make your own by putting it in oven at 350 for an hour, stirring every 15min) Few drops of essential oil, if desired Mix Use 1-2Tbsp per average-sized load. Less than $2 a batch.
Thank you!! Would you do a video on fabrics on the skin? As in if it’s on our skin would polyester get absorbed into the skin? Thank you for all you’re doing
Glad this video was helpful! 👩🏼🌾 Unfortunately I do not have a video about fabrics - but thanks for the idea! For more helpful tips, visit my blog: thebiblicalnutritionist.com/blog/
Quaternary ammonium compounds are my kryptonite. My employer changed to cleaning with quats in 2018 and I became allergic to my dog I had for over 5 years without problems. I also wasted away until I quit.
I only use vinegar and dish soap for cleaning, very hot water will do a very good job to, for fresh air open your windows even in winter a room is refreshed in 15 minutes.🙋🏼♀️🌷🇱🇺
Not shopping in a major chain grocery store helps. I shop at natural grocery stores. I buy natural products or make a homemade. I stay away from all the products you showed. I don't eat what you find in that store either.
There's a popular youtuber who does videos about ways to clean your home and she uses all kinds of products that have scents. Someone tried to warn her about protecting her lungs and those of her children, but she completely ignored this person and now seems to make an even bigger deal of breathing these things in. She doesn't use much of anything that's natural. It's so strange, I know this behavior will affect her and her children eventually
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…?
Would love a video showing how to make a good cleaner for marble, granite, wood floors, bathroom, kitchen, laundry, etc. Im overwhelmed after seeing this.
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.
One question, the only reason I keep bleach or pine sol is if the toilet backs up, overflows on the floor or someone vomits... I know! But what do you recommend for these situations where the gross factor is huge?! Dish soap and water only? Branch sounds interesting, but I have to be budget conscious.
I wish I had stores like you guys show on here 😂 I follow a few people who do grocery store stuff etc and we don’t have those kind of stores where I live 😢 makes me sad lol. So many good things that I can never find, not even like 50 miles away!
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.
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 RUclips, she does short, easy to follow videos of natural alternatives. God bless you ❤
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.
@@katie7748 Thank you so much. I am disabled, so I can't stand up long enough. So sweet of you, though. So kind. If you put this in the comments, it sure would help others. 💕
Seems to me that the cleaning products aisle at all grocery stores is getting way to whiffy these days. Overpowering scents added to all the products is not necessary. Fresh laundry has its own natural scent that is subtle and not offensive.
Sometimes whenever I'm around certain people (who either don't know or don't care) that have so many different fragrances on that I can't breathe. It's on their clothes, and/or the perfume they wear, and Hairspray. I can only hold my breath so long. These fragrances give me migraines. Therefore, I have to try to avoid some people. Smokers are the worst (at least the few women, I know) when it comes to wearing a lot of perfume. I have been sensitive the fragrances for a very long time. Also, I can't use most hand lotions or creams. same reason. I have very sensitive skin. The lotions and creams give me a rash. Some people just don't understand. I have been washing our laundry with either a very mild dish soap (like ivory from a long time ago, which I can no longer use) and now use an unscented laundry soap. I used to make my own laundry soap. I always use white vinegar in place of the fabric softener. Thank you for putting this video out. I really appreciate it. :) Oh, and then there's shampoos and cream rinse for hair. I have used baking soda to wash my hair.
I stopped using perfume in my 20s because it gave me a headache. I'm interested in what you use for shampoo. And my son told me that baking soda breaks down the structure of the hair because of it PH? (I think.) Have you found that to be the case?
@@helenebennie3961 I use Prell when I can find it in the store, but I use very little as it's concentrated. And then, I use white vinegar for cream rinse once in a while. No, I don't think the PH was a problem. We have really slimy water. I don't know how to explain it, but the water here to me feels slimy. I guess it has a lot of minerals or something in it. I have looked for the Prell in the store and whenever I find it I'll buy as much as is on the shelf to sort of stock up for when it's no longer available. I hope that helps. In 1979, when I went to live with my grandmother after grandpa passed away is when I discovered, I could no longer use lotions from the store. I'd either get a rash or streaks running up and neck. So, I'd wash it off. Then a couple years later, I couldn't use perfumes. by the way, I didn't put the perfume on my skin, I'd put it on my hairbrush and then by brushing my hair in front of the wall furnace while it dried. I'm also allergic to roses and marigolds. Roses give me a migraine and marigolds give me a rash. So, when the neighborhood roses are in bloom it makes it hard for me to go outdoors.
@@helenebennie3961 I use Prell when I can find it in the store. But I only use a small amount as it's concentrated. I used to wash my hair every day, but it's been years since I did that now it's once a week. our water feels very slimy to me, So, I don't have a problem with the PH. I also use white vinegar for cream rinse once in a while not often.
Buy only items especially cosmetics and personal care items that do not test on animals. You might want to stop using milk also, read how cows are treated. Vinegar and water are great cleaners.
Get your milk, eggs, meat, fruits, veggies, honey, etc from trusted local farmers. Lots of places online to look for them. Farmers markets and butcher shops are good starting points too. And look into what they use instead of animals to test products. Just another example of self-righteous people valuing animal lives over human ones.
Great teaching. I have switched to Method brand, but now I need to look at their ingredients. Can you do more teaching on essential oils? I use doTERRA all the time, I put the oil on my wool dryer balls. I would like to know why not fragrances. Thank you again so much
doTERRA is a wonder trusted brand. You don't want ingredients that say 'fragrance' because it's a lab created fragrance that is full of 2000 undisclosed chemicals that are dangerous to health and DNA.
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.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. It has helped our family throw lots of harmful cleaners away. I do have a question, do you have a list of safe household cleaners to use in our homes. That we can purchase at Walmart or Target that’s effective and affordable.
Make your own. It's quick, super cheap, and you have control over what goes in it 😊 lots and LOTS of tutorials out there for everything imaginable. Remember, before we had all these things you find in stores we did without.
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.
@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?
I loved the idea of wool dryer balls until I found out I'm allergic to them. Ugh ... Defeated the whole purpose. I can only use wool if it doesn't directly contact my skin. So I'm back to deyer sheets. Can't afford the natural one's probably. I don't make $80,000+ of $ like most people per year.
Oh you don't need dryer sheets, all they are doing is coating your clothes in poison. You will get used to and love your clothes smelling and feeling clean.
For your hard customers / ant's that don't take no for an answer, Simple Green. good stuff. no insects want to walk or hang around where Simple green is been sprayed, I don't recall ever seeing any dead ant's, but this I do know, they wont return. and I use the none toxic Fruit and Vegetable garden spray all around the base of the house. a couple times a summer.
Baking soda is a great hard water softener and deodorizer when doing laundry, no fabric softener needed.

Yess get that truth out there!! I only use vinegar...peroxide... castile soap..amd baking soda to clean my whole house. I also use vinegar in a spray bottle as a hand sanitizer in my truck☺️
Thanks for watching @LovesJesus09876! 👩🏼🌾
@@TheBiblicalNutritionistis essential oils bad? Thanks in advance
I use vinegar AS A FABRIC softener. I put about half a cup in the last rinse cycle. Works like a charm. Vinegar also clears any soap residue left in your clothes at this stage.
Does vinegar fade the clothes?
@@zerozero9085 never has for me😊
A family member had COPD and could NOT walk down the laundry/bleach isle! They could not breathe if they did.
Also had a friend start a house cleaning service. She started getting sick. It was the cleaning products that was making her sick. She went to using natural products and her problems went away!!!
Actually good old fashioned soap, that was used back in the 50s made your clothes soft feeling, no purfums. My mom didn't use detergent.
It truly is amazing how a lot of the younger ladies and anyone actually that use air fresheners in their homes and cars that are so toxic and of course the HIGHLY SCENTED LAUNDRY PRODUCTS. I buy my clothes at thrift stores and a lot of the ladies clothes are smelling like laundry soaps ( very scented ) and even after many washes they still smell scented. Not good!! 👍👍☮️☮️
Thanks for watching @widowswatch6610! 👩🏼🌾
I wash those in baking soda, and do not put them in the dryer. I put them outside on the cloths line. I have had to wash an item five times, that a friend gave me and had it outside on the cloths line for days before it was scent free.
Yes!!!!!!!
I’ve had to give up and throw out thrift store clothes because I can’t get the disgusting smell out!!!!
@@bonniesammons2348if it's possible I do an intensive 60 degree wash and it removes all of the smell and sticky fabric softener feel.
@@teresamoore4126 what do you mean more specifically?
Bleach. That got me. We mostly use vinegar and baking soda to clean.
Annette, thank you for sharing this important topic. Just use vinegar and water it cleans wonderful. Please also with summer coming could you do a tutorial on sun screens and lotions that are bad for your health!
Ok, on my list!
Vinegar doesn’t work for everything
Vinegar smells terrible... I use baking soda or soap.
Vinegar quickly dissipates
Baking soda with vinegar or borax. Oxiclean helps too.
This is an AWESOME psa. I've been living this way for over 15 years. I also do not use deodorant, soap only on the palms of my hands, certain shampoo every 3-4 weeks, glass dishes, cast iron pans (no teflon or forever chemicals), no microwave (makes food toxic), no perfume, no antibacterial, and I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. I use a steam cleaner on my floors.
How to stop stinky armpits
What you use instead of Deo?
For dtinky armpits use Dr Mist....
Please tell me you wash your fingers too...
a few months after going fragrant free, my sense of smell got really strong, never realized how much chemical we put to our bodies everyday; the same way I went no added sugar, now can taste added sugar without reading the label.
No butane
No QUAT
No antibacterial
No fragrance
No pesticides
Use vinegar
Use hydrogen peroxide
Use hot water and soap but with no alcohol
No fake scents

I am glad you're talking about cleaning products 😊
Yes it has been a long time coming
My aunt died from a chemical reaction from cleaning. She was using a toilet cleaner with bleach while her daughter was using a window cleaner with ammonia to clean the mirror. She started feeling odd. Walked out of her bathroom, and colapsed dead on her bed. Cleaners can be deadly.
I am so sorry to hear about your aunt.
Thank you. We all learned a hard lesson.
My condolences to you. I am older now without any aunties left and I miss them. Thank you for valuable information. I knew not to mix ammonia and bleach. However I did not know just a combination of the fumes was deadly.
@user-zl4rr1ic7w, thank you. We didn't either. Hard lesson learned.
Ammonia and bleach creates chloride gas. It is lethal.
Has anyone else noticed the explosion of lung and brain cancer in the last decade? Could there be a link with the proliferation of scented products?
Maybe correlated but more likely Radiation from cell phones and wifi air pollution and well ... our FOOD
absolutely
Thank you for sharing the important truth about poison ingredients. Have a great day, The Biblical Nutritionist! 🙂

I make cleaner by putting lemon and orange peels in a glass jar with distilled vinegar for a few weeks. I also add some cloves and a cinnamon stick. I put it in my spray mop that has washable pads and add a little water to it. No harmful chemicals. I am planning to make my own laundry detergent soon too. I bought some natural dryer sheets and the wool dryer balls. I use unscented baby mild liquid castile soap as well.
A coworker says she uses very hot water and bay leaves to clean her tiles and it makes them shiny.
1 cup salt
1.5 cup baking soda
1.5 cup washing soda (make your own by putting baking soda in the oven at 350 for an hour, stirring every 15min)
Few drops of essential oil, if desired
Mix
Use 1-2Tbsp per average-sized load.
Less than $2.
How much lemon and orange peels you use?
this is true. Jesus showed me all kinds of things i had in my house to change and its amazing how much better i feel now without them. the skin care products i make mostly myself now.
I made my home as toxin/chemical free as possible for years. But these past few years I’ve been stuck living at in-laws’ home and they use a ton of toxic cleaners throughout the house, and chemicals in the lawn. I have my two young children here and praying our family can afford our own home soon 🙏🏻
POV: The Glade Plugins in Daycare Facilities is criminal.
Or in ANY home! Same with scented candles
Amen on the fragrance, any kind as in perfumes, colognes , cleaning , etc

I shake my head when I see all those disgusting air fresheners hanging in ppl.s cars! They’re brutal in such close quarters, I won’t get in a car if they are hanging in it.
It's a huge problem in Indonesia, 9/10 drivers have these horrible fresheners in their cars🥵
My mom and my grandmother have always used vinegar, baking soda or hot soapy water to clean almost everything. I am glad they taught me to do so. They have always been against all these chemical products that are so harmful to us. The only time I used Pinesol to wash the floor I had such a bad headache after. Never used it again! Thank you for this video!😊

Thanks for this presentation. Over years of working with some major perfume wearers and later being around some pretty strong cleaners due to my work conditions, I got more and more sensitive and ill from these things. I try to keep my home as free from these things as possible. I have noticed that if one of my neighbors is drying clothes with much fragrance, I need to retreat to my inside of the house or end up ill.
Yes I too cannot stand the artificial smell of my neighbours washing.
Yes, it makes me sick!
Me too! My neighbours dryer vent is close to my deck and when it’s on I have to go in my house due to the strong fabric softener.
God’s creatures deserve peace and safety.
Similarly to dogs, Lambs wag their tails when they are stroked (They also softly head-butt humans when they want attention)
Hot soapy water with a little lemon in it.
I use Meyers natural dish soap, with essential oil’s, very mild.
Vinegar and baking soda work well.
Yes!!! I love this video! So glad more and more peope atr realizing how toxic cleaners and fragrances are. Its a major pet peeve of mine to go outside to enjoy thr fresh air and then my neighbor starts up their dryer and pollutes the air with toxic fragrances. I havent used them in 15 yrs.
I so agree!
Thank you. I have ordered. Looking forward to getting rid of all the toxic garbage I have for cleaning in my home.
I use hot water and vinegar to wash clothes and they smell great! Vinegar softens them and they smell really good. When you eliminate fragrances your sense of smell becomes so acute! Cotton smells wonderful!
Great tip!
I am using Soap Nuts to wash our clothing and Cleaning Vinagre for washing our Home
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
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.
I live in Germany, I clean my place with products from Easy Clean, I only use 3 liquits, one paste and mainly only water with special microfiber fabric, those cost a lot, but each lasts 30 years. So it is worth it. My Liv became a lot easier and a lot less clutter I the cleaning closet.
The biggest problem is that many companies do not disclose all the ingredients that are in the cleaning product..
Sheep are gentle individuals who, like all animals, feel pain, fear and loneliness.
Thank you so much for this. There is something in our house that I smell overwhelmingly in every corner of it. Now I am on the hunt for exactly what it is!
Is it a rental? There might be pet urine……it ruins laminate flooring, you can’t wash it out from underneath, the floor or carpet/ pad must be fully removed…..the subfloor may have to be replaced as well. Certain breeds of dogs (pit bulls) excrete oils from their skin and coat the walls, you must wash your walls with 3/4 c vinegar, 1/4 cup dawn dish soap to a gallon, gallon and a 1/2 of water, to test your wall just rub with finger and you will feel an oily residue……my go to cleaner is for everything is vinegar and water, tiny bit of dawn or the best is Myers soap
I started making my own laundry detergent a few years ago. I know exactly what’s in the detergent and it’s also economical.
Good for you!
Care to share the recipe plz

LOVE my wool laundry balls!
SUGGESTION: If you wash your pets beds, blankets, etc. have wool balls just for those loads.
Why specifically for pets beds?
There is formaldehyde and benzene in memory foam mattresses including furniture. Also in carpet and rugs. Makes me SICK!
Fun fact, the humble spider plant is the best for removing formaldehyde which off gasses from carpets and upholstery.

Yes the chemicals and the pesticides in our clothes get absorbed by the skin.
Quaternary ammonium compounds are my kryptonite. My employer changed to cleaning with quats in 2018 and I became allergic to my dog I had for over 5 years without problems. I also wasted away until I quit.
I only use vinegar and dish soap for cleaning, very hot water will do a very good job to, for fresh air open your windows even in winter a room is refreshed in 15 minutes.🙋🏼♀️🌷🇱🇺

I've heard that there are ingredients in these products that the companies don't have to disclose that are most definitely harmful.
In “proprietary” fragrance blends
You heard correctly!!
Thank you for sharing Wisdom for healing and healthy Life and Godly style ❤
Not shopping in a major chain grocery store helps. I shop at natural grocery stores. I buy natural products or make a homemade. I stay away from all the products you showed. I don't eat what you find in that store either.
There's a popular youtuber who does videos about ways to clean your home and she uses all kinds of products that have scents. Someone tried to warn her about protecting her lungs and those of her children, but she completely ignored this person and now seems to make an even bigger deal of breathing these things in. She doesn't use much of anything that's natural. It's so strange, I know this behavior will affect her and her children eventually
They are getting paid to make videos about these products
Love this product review.people need to know this information 👍

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…?
Would love a video showing how to make a good cleaner for marble, granite, wood floors, bathroom, kitchen, laundry, etc. Im overwhelmed after seeing this.
Steam cleaning sanitizes and uses only water❣️
Great tip!
Am on my 3rd steam cleaner for floors. Only way to go.❤
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.

One question, the only reason I keep bleach or pine sol is if the toilet backs up, overflows on the floor or someone vomits... I know! But what do you recommend for these situations where the gross factor is huge?!
Dish soap and water only?
Branch sounds interesting, but I have to be budget conscious.
Vinegar and water deodorize wonderfully

My problem is the family get clothes insanely dirty and greasy on the farm. The friendly products just don’t clean the same so I double rinse them.
Try soaking them for 30+ min. with warm water and baking soda prior to washing them.
Did she mention Borax in the video? We use that in the laundry.
I wish I had stores like you guys show on here 😂 I follow a few people who do grocery store stuff etc and we don’t have those kind of stores where I live 😢 makes me sad lol. So many good things that I can never find, not even like 50 miles away!
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.
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 RUclips, she does short, easy to follow videos of natural alternatives. God bless you ❤
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

Use 1-2Tbsp per average-sized load.
Instead of fabric softener, 1/2cup vinegar.

White Vinegar and baking soda works well on anything.
That is true.
Seems to me that the cleaning products aisle at all grocery stores is getting way to whiffy these days. Overpowering scents added to all the products is not necessary. Fresh laundry has its own natural scent that is subtle and not offensive.
Thank you so much Annette for the VALUABLE information!❤

Vinegar and baking soda
Sometimes whenever I'm around certain people (who either don't know or don't care) that have so many different fragrances on that I can't breathe. It's on their clothes, and/or the perfume they wear, and Hairspray. I can only hold my breath so long. These fragrances give me migraines. Therefore, I have to try to avoid some people. Smokers are the worst (at least the few women, I know) when it comes to wearing a lot of perfume. I have been sensitive the fragrances for a very long time. Also, I can't use most hand lotions or creams. same reason. I have very sensitive skin. The lotions and creams give me a rash. Some people just don't understand. I have been washing our laundry with either a very mild dish soap (like ivory from a long time ago, which I can no longer use) and now use an unscented laundry soap. I used to make my own laundry soap. I always use white vinegar in place of the fabric softener. Thank you for putting this video out. I really appreciate it. :) Oh, and then there's shampoos and cream rinse for hair. I have used baking soda to wash my hair.
I stopped using perfume in my 20s because it gave me a headache. I'm interested in what you use for shampoo. And my son told me that baking soda breaks down the structure of the hair because of it PH? (I think.) Have you found that to be the case?
@@helenebennie3961
Can dilute it or I use apple cider vinegar but 1/3 C. Vinegar 1 C. Water.
You can typically balance out a high PH with dilution.
@@helenebennie3961 I use Prell when I can find it in the store, but I use very little as it's concentrated. And then, I use white vinegar for cream rinse once in a while. No, I don't think the PH was a problem. We have really slimy water. I don't know how to explain it, but the water here to me feels slimy. I guess it has a lot of minerals or something in it. I have looked for the Prell in the store and whenever I find it I'll buy as much as is on the shelf to sort of stock up for when it's no longer available. I hope that helps. In 1979, when I went to live with my grandmother after grandpa passed away is when I discovered, I could no longer use lotions from the store. I'd either get a rash or streaks running up and neck. So, I'd wash it off. Then a couple years later, I couldn't use perfumes. by the way, I didn't put the perfume on my skin, I'd put it on my hairbrush and then by brushing my hair in front of the wall furnace while it dried. I'm also allergic to roses and marigolds. Roses give me a migraine and marigolds give me a rash. So, when the neighborhood roses are in bloom it makes it hard for me to go outdoors.
@@helenebennie3961 I use Prell when I can find it in the store. But I only use a small amount as it's concentrated. I used to wash my hair every day, but it's been years since I did that now it's once a week. our water feels very slimy to me, So, I don't have a problem with the PH. I also use white vinegar for cream rinse once in a while not often.
@@iampurposepeace Thanks for the info.
The more I learn about animals and the way some humans treat them, the more sad I become 😢
Buy only items especially cosmetics and personal care items that do not test on animals. You might want to stop using milk also, read how cows are treated. Vinegar and water are great cleaners.
Get your milk, eggs, meat, fruits, veggies, honey, etc from trusted local farmers. Lots of places online to look for them. Farmers markets and butcher shops are good starting points too.
And look into what they use instead of animals to test products. Just another example of self-righteous people valuing animal lives over human ones.
I make oat milk by soaking quick oats in cold water overnight. Strain it for use on cereals, etc, and cook the residual oats for bkfst. 🥣

Great teaching. I have switched to Method brand, but now I need to look at their ingredients. Can you do more teaching on essential oils? I use doTERRA all the time, I put the oil on my wool dryer balls. I would like to know why not fragrances. Thank you again so much
There’s a great app called Think Dirty that has a lot of mainstream product information.
doTERRA is a wonder trusted brand. You don't want ingredients that say 'fragrance' because it's a lab created fragrance that is full of 2000 undisclosed chemicals that are dangerous to health and DNA.
Vinegar is a great cleaner
Amen! Great information. Thank you.
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 😢
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.
I want a safer future world for all our future Generations 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this information. It has helped our family throw lots of harmful cleaners away. I do have a question, do you have a list of safe household cleaners to use in our homes. That we can purchase at Walmart or Target that’s effective and affordable.
I cross reference products on the Environmental Working Group website for cleaning products.
@@tiggywinkle7522 thank you so much, I will go check it out!
Baking soda, white vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide are great for many things.
Make your own. It's quick, super cheap, and you have control over what goes in it 😊 lots and LOTS of tutorials out there for everything imaginable. Remember, before we had all these things you find in stores we did without.
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.
If not, maybe try a tiny bit of Mrs. Stewart’s Concentrated Liquid Non-Toxic Bluing?
@@northernnomiehomie it did not get as white as I hoped or as soft as I hoped.
@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?
Peroxide in a spray bottle. Great takes stains out and doesn't smell. 😊
What i like to do is double wash - wash with detergent first, then wash only with water the second time
Me too
I do a double rinse, I add vinegar to that rinse, about half a cup. makes my clothes soft and it gets rid of any left over soap on the clothes.
Ingredients to avoid:
1. Pesticides
- 2:14 for the list of chemicals to avoid
2. Fragrances
3. Bleach
4. Quats

I loved the idea of wool dryer balls until I found out I'm allergic to them. Ugh ... Defeated the whole purpose. I can only use wool if it doesn't directly contact my skin. So I'm back to deyer sheets. Can't afford the natural one's probably. I don't make $80,000+ of $ like most people per year.
I’ve seen plastic balls (with little nubs) that serve the same purpose as dryer balls. Maybe those would work for you?
Oh you don't need dryer sheets, all they are doing is coating your clothes in poison. You will get used to and love your clothes smelling and feeling clean.
For softer clothes use vinegar in your wash. I just fill my fabric softener slot with vinegar. Even my line dried clothes are soft.
What about Biokleen Free and Clear laundry?😊
For your hard customers / ant's that don't take no for an answer, Simple Green. good stuff.
no insects want to walk or hang around where Simple green is been sprayed, I don't recall
ever seeing any dead ant's, but this I do know, they wont return.
and I use the none toxic Fruit and Vegetable garden spray all around the base of the house. a couple times a summer.
Please check the ingredients of simple green. ... It is very toxic
How do you use Simple Green to repel ants? Spray it on areas of ant activity? thanks
I use thieves for floors and counters...is that an OK product?
Yes but be careful if you gave pets.
I use vinegar and hot water to mop my floors. I need to do better with other cleaners and detergent.
Good for you
