Another Embarrassing Project

My cabinet under the sink!!! Because I am switching to all natural cleaning products, I thought it would be a good idea to throw out the old... and do a little bit of cleaning up while I was in there!!

Here is before....



And here is after!!
There are still a few products that I haven't yet switched over, like the cascade and jet dry, but other than that I got rid of all those other toxic and harmful cleaners.
Here is my list of things you should get rid of too...

• Floor cleaners like Pine-Sol, Mop and Glo, etc. - You do not need them
• Aerosol air fresheners - You do not need them
• Sponges!!!! - They are bacteria laden and nastified. Martha Stewart tells me it's a myth that putting them in the dishwasher cleans them up and putting them in the microwave is a fire hazard. She's Martha Stewart. I believe her. Use microfiber or terry cloth instead(you can buy a pack of 15 for $2.oo at Wal-Mart). Use it and throw it in the laundry that night. Since you should be doing laundry every 3 days anyway, you shouldn't run out of clean ones!
• Antibacterial ANYTHING!!!! - This one is important. They are dangerous. Scientists also believe that constantly using antibacterial everything is contributing to the breeding of "Superbugs"... AND... 275 is the number of active ingredients in antibacterial products classified as pesticides. (Environmental Protection Agency,2007). That's scary to me. I know a lot of people like to feel "Super Clean", but really, we are doing more harm than good. (P.S. that is NOT antibacterial soap I have under my sink. It's just plain ol' soap. To be clear!)
• Anything that is toxic or unnatural. Bleach! If its in there, get rid of it!!!

Now, for my next post, I am going to tell you why you don't need those things!!!
