I think it’s a given that cleaning products designed for the bathroom are loaded with toxic ingredients. The ones you see most often on the labels are ammonia, bleach, phthalates, formaldehyde, and phosphoric acid. The issues these cause range from skin irritations, respiratory issues, hormone disruption, and even death if ingested. But even more so than the cleaning products are the products we’re using to wash away the day’s dirt and grime and bring our best, shiny self forward. What products are those? Our personal care products! Toothpaste, body wash, shampoo, deodorant…UGH! I feel these products are more threatening to our health than the stuff we’re using to clean our bathroom!
I won’t revisit my natural personal care DIY items in this issue. I’ve covered them before. You can read about it this article.
What fascinates me the most about these toxic chemicals is how they are allowed into our cleaners and into our home. So many of the ingredients in our products are banned in other countries. Knowing this makes me more diligent of what I allow into my home, and onto and into my body.
In this article, I’m sharing my top 3 Ditch & Switch DIY Products for the Bathroom:
Soft Scrub Cleanser
This Bathroom Cleanser is one I make on a regular basis and keep on hand. I’ve shared this potent little jar as a gift to some nay-sayers in my circle & turned them into believers! I use this cleanser for the sink, tub and tile. It breaks up the soap scum and grime. It’s so easy to make and costs about $2.40 to make. One recipe is enough for one cleaning of our bathroom. Way less spending, way less toxic!
Fizzing Toilet Bombs
No. 2 Spray
