All natural, non-toxic cleaning supplies
As we know, cleaning supplies are some of the most toxic products in our home. More and more we find ourselves shifting towards eco-friendly products, but there are so many choices out there with false advertising its hard to know which products are the best.
"Santa Claus" introduced me to Mrs. Jone's soapbox which is all natural, non toxic cleaning supplies and they are great! They work well, smell wonderful and will make your home sparkle. All of the products are made up of natural minerals and vegetable based soaps. The prices are very reasonable and the bottles can be refilled to prevent waste.

Healthy Dry Cleaning Tips
The term "dry cleaning" is actually a little misleading. This technique coats clothes in a chemical -- usually perchloroethylene (PERC) -- that tends to be better for cleaning delicate fabrics, such as silk and cashmere, than regular soap and water.
Unfortunately, PERC has been linked to cancer and a number of other health problems. Many cleaners actually send their clothes to dry-cleaning plants, which can release huge amounts of PERC into the earth, air, and water. Workers in these buildings are exposed to toxic chemicals on a daily basis. PERC can also affect customers who regularly dry-clean clothes and bring the toxic chemical into their homes, where it lingers and they breathe it in -- even while not wearing the clothing.
If you must dry clean please remember to remove the plastic bag and hang any dry-cleaned clothes outside (or in a garage) to air out before wearing or hanging in your closet.
