I have always thought that cleaning products were a necessary evil.
And when I say evil I mean exactly that because I, more than most people, know how dangerous they can be.
My adult niece was a young toddler when another baby around her age pulled a common household disinfectant out from under the kitchen sink at her babysitter’s house and sprayed it in her eye.
Both of them were too young to understand or explain what happened and by the time my niece got proper medical attention it was too late. Her eye was so badly damaged it had to be removed.

ReplyDeleteok that is scary. :|
ReplyDeleteThat is so scary!!!! Thank you for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteThat's awful, Kelly! Makes me shudder.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new site, though! I love recipe sites :)
I'm also wondering about the disinfecting qualities . . . I know you said it picks all of the stuff up off the counter, but what about after you wash them? How long do they last?
ReplyDeleteI dunno - there's just something about the "smell" of clean that makes me feel good.
HOWEVER, I will say that my cleaning ladies (that my MIL pays for - thank you thank you thank you MIL!!!) use only natural stuff . . . nothing "smells" clean when I get home, but it sure does sparkle.
I'd love to get rid of my chemicals . . . I'll have to do some more lookin' on their Web site :-)
Scary.
ReplyDeleteBut regarding the new blog...YOU GO GIRL!
That is so frightening! I still have baby locks on our cleaning supply cabinet, even though technically the girls probably will not get into them.

ReplyDeleteI made the meatloaf tonight--it was fantastic! The recipe is definitely a keeper. I didn't have zucchini so substituted carrot, which worked fine.
ReplyDeletethat is really upsetting! I was always so good about locking up chemicals. I may go green though.
ReplyDeleteJust thinking about toxicity of things ONE MINUTE AGO when I applied flea medication to our dog. I hate to do this but did battle with fleas once and it wasn't pretty. Hate to bring these toxins into the house. Now I have to keep the kids off the dog for a few weeks...
ReplyDeleteSo scary.
