We are growing and learning with each passing day! I recently changed my cleaning solutions. I was very happy with my recipes however, I learned that while they definitely sanitize and disinfect, there are other more efficient and effective. I am now using a product that is made from stabilized peroxide and citrus oils. This product is safe enough to spray in a face without worry!. Not that we want to do that but, it does happen. The product is mixed at different strengths according to where they are to be used. One mixture disinfects at the level a hospital would use and the other sanitizes at the level that schools use.This product is EPA approved. Please review our video and feel free to call us if you have any questions.

I recently came across a website with the following important and possible life saving information. I copied and pasted a portion of it here for you to read. Domestic Touch has changed it's formulas. We are now using a concentrated product that is all natural, biodegradable, disinfectant and sanitizer that is a peroxide base. This product is being used more and more in schools as well as hospitals. The awareness of dangerous house hold cleaners is being raised to levels that we believe will someday change EPA standards. 
Domestic Touch is proud to be a part of this responsible lifestyle that we happily share with our clients!

It's time to start being responsible for the air you breathe.

Common Household Cleaners Are Toxic and Deadly

• Commercial cleaners contain toxic substances like phenol, formaldehyde, phosphates, ammonia, chlorine bleach, arsenic, naphthalene, hydrochloric acid, paradichlorbenzene, lye, phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid, just to name a few. When breathed in, these substances can irritate the entire respiratory system. The chemicals are then leached into your blood stream leaving traces in other organs including your heart. Petroleum based cleaners are directly absorbed into the skin. The long term effects of these chemicals are not good. Some are carcinogens (cancer causing).
• Some of these cleaners release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making the air inside of your home toxic. In fact, studies conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Total Exposure Assessment Methodology (TEAM) found the levels of about 12 common organic pollutants to be two to five times higher inside your home than outside. Even worse, these contaminants may persist indoors long after using a product. The Cancer Prevention Coalition lists hundreds of toxic and deadly chemicals that are in household cleaners. Here is another informative test by an independent company: Cleaning Chemicals and Their Impact on Indoor Environments and Health.
• We can’t assume that products are safe just because they are widely available and for sale. Cigarettes are sold and yet we know the effects they have on the body. They are proven cancer causers. The New York Times has reported several times about the fact that the US allows the sale of toxic and dangerous products that other countries prohibit. Here is just one such article where formaldehyde laden wood was sold in the US: US Rules Allows the Sale of Products Other Countries Ban.
• Just because something is labeled as natural does not mean that it is safe. Let me remind you that arsenic is a naturally occurring substance and yet, it kills. There is no law or set of guidelines to instruct companies as to how they can or can’t label products with use of the word “natural”. Don’t let that word persuade you at all. It means nothing on a commercial product.

Mixing Chlorine Bleach is Dangerous

A major downfall of commercial cleaners, especially chlorine bleach, is that when mixed with common organic matter such as urine, it produces hazardous gasses that can cause lung disease and even slow death. Most people I know use bleach to clean toilets. Isn’t that where urine resides? If bleach is accidentally mixed with dish soap will produce mustard gas. When it mixes with other organic substances in laundry, food, blood, or other bodily fluids it produces chloroform which is a known carcinogen. I have removed every bit of bleach from our home and will forbid it from ever returning. I was shocked to find all of this information while doing research. What angers me more is that hydrogen peroxide and essential oils naturally kill bacteria and viruses so bleach is not needed and yet it is still readily used. The makers of Clorox bleach have proven it for us. They now sell hydrogen peroxide and have listed all test results here: Clorox Professional Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaner. AND *upddated* to say Reuters.com reported that the new line of cleaners were voted BEST all around in October 2012. Here is an excerpt:

“Clorox® Hydrogen Peroxide Disinfecting Cleaners are a revolutionary new line of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered products that harness the unique power of hydrogen peroxide to eliminate bacteria and viruses that are of highest concern to commercial facilities in as fast as 30 seconds,” said Lynda Lurie, marketing manager, Clorox Professional Products Company.  “It’s an honor to be recognized by ISSA and the cleaning industry, as this award reinforces our commitment to drive step-change product innovation to further meet the needs of the commercial cleaning market.”

Introduced in March 2012, Clorox® Hydrogen Peroxide Disinfecting Cleaners contain plant-based surfactants, no harsh fumes, no volatile organic compounds, no added fragrances or dyes, and harness the unique power of hydrogen peroxide to kill more problematic germs than the leading competitive products.[1]  SOURCE

Everyday moms and grandmas have known this for years. Next there will be a full line of vinegar and/or castile soap related products by these big companies. Mark my words.

Chemicals From Household Cleaners Get Into Water Supply and Atmosphere

When we use toxic household cleaners they usually end up going down the drain. Either we wash the chemicals out, flush them, or rinse them in the sink or tub. All of these ways result in the deadly chemicals getting into streams, bayous, rivers, and other water sources and it results in contaminating aquatic life. Have you ever wondered why there are higher instances of cancer along water sources? We eat the food that comes from these water sources after we have drenched them in dozens of toxic chemicals that we disposed of. Not to mention the fact that this same water gets seeped into the ground to contaminate vegetation and rises to pollute the air.
