As we all should, Danika. I guess my point wasn’t to show products that are 100% organic and nontoxic, which there aren’t many of, but rather to show “healthier” alternatives that are available everywhere.

Love it. However, just an FYI Avalon Organics has many of the same synthetic chemicals in it as many conventional products. They really aren’t much different.

And Toms of Maine used to be good, but since they were bought out by Colgate they’ve been slowly and quietly slipping synthetic ingredients into some of their products so make sure you read the labels.

Carla– those other brands are a step in the right direction, but people should also know that vingear *is* an excellent disinfectant:

“Heinz company spokesperson Michael Mullen references numerous studies to show that a straight 5 percent solution of vinegar””the kind you can buy in the supermarket””kills 99 percent of bacteria, 82 percent of mold, and 80 percent of germs (viruses).”

I use many homemade cleaners, but its hard to convince someone to make the switch when they are used to wanting to kill everything. Vinegar and baking soda is just too ineffective for a lot of people. Safer brands like Bio Kleen and Seventh Generation is the next best thing.
