RE: Household Detergents: The Silent Polluters And Some Natural Alternatives
welcome aboard holisticmom and a lovely first post.. ive used soap nuts.. and many other eco cleaning powders.. they do work!! we dont need all these chemicals disrupting our world,, and our bodies.. <3
Thank you for your kind words @eco-alex! Good to know you also use alternatives. They are way more cost efficient and versatile too I find. In this modern world of 'out of sight, out of mind' disposal we forget that the toxins go back into our water systems. The more people that take the initiative to be mindful of this the better the outcome will be. 😊
Not just into our water (and ultimately then into the food we eat) but people then have the residue in their clothing. For me it's just as important to not wear synthetic fibres (and I only use cloth diapers for my babies)
Yes this is very true. Here where I live the waste water goes into soakaways or cesspits as there is no main sewer systems on the island. So yes it either runs into the land or gets tipped in the sea. (One of the things we are trying to change).
I used cloth diapers with my youngest two. Both out of them now. It was washing them that first triggered me to find alternative detergents. Thank you for your added insight ❤
Interesting what gets us all onto the healthier living. We have a homestead in South Africa so our grey water ultimately goes to trees and gardens. Looking forward to following you
