I’ve posted about my son and his ADHD before. I’ve recently been doing some reading on ways I can naturally help him (and the rest of us) with his ADHD. Currently he is on medicine and while I don’t regret putting him on medicine, I feel that as we approach summer, now would be a good time to work on alternative ways to handle the ADHD.
Aside from some diet modifications, we are also really taking a look at the chemicals that we bring into our home. When I was approached by the Ecostore to test out a couple of their products, the timing really couldn’t be any better!
I never really gave a thought to the cleaning products I use in my house…but if the things we eat (food dyes for example) can affect our mood, behavior, etc, then why can’t the things we inhale affect our mood and behavior?
I decided to try out two products. An All Purpose cleaner and a toilet bowl cleaner. Two things that I use a lot in my house and two things that I really need to work well.
I really liked the All Purpose cleaner. My kitchen table is a tiled table with a wood border. No matter what cleaner I use, the wood part always feels kind of sticky. It drives me crazy.
The first thing I noticed about the All Purpose Cleaner is the fact that it really cleans the table well. My kids had spilled sticky syrup all over the table and the All Purpose Cleaner cut through that stickiness without a problem! The second thing I noticed, and the best thing I noticed, was the fact that the wood border on the table was not tacky feeling. This is the first cleaner I have been able to use on my kitchen table that didn’t make it feel dirty, even when it was really clean!! And finally, the third thing I noticed with the All Purpose Cleaner is the smell…it smelled pleasant, but didn’t have the underlying chemical smell that other cleaners have.
I don’t know about you, but I cannot stand a dirty toilet. But what I can’t stand more than that is the smell of toilet bowl cleaners. Whenever I clean the bathroom, I always feel like I am high after. Sure you can buy floral scented toilet bowl cleaners, but it always has this strong chemical smell that about knocks you out if you sniff it long enough.
As for it’s cleaning power, I think it did very well. It cleaned the bowl and kept it clean just like the other cleaners do…though I really don’t hold much stock in toilet bowl cleaners keeping toilets cleaned for long periods of time. I mean…with all the crap (literally) that is in a toilet, so long as cleans when I use it…I’m happy! And since this one doesn’t smell like toxic chemicals, it’s even better in my book!
