What I also learned is that most homes do not mechanically bring any fresh air into the house. This includes forced air heating systems like so many homes have. This lack of ventilation means that everything we were doing inside our house affected our air quality. Chemicals used within our home would hang in the air and cling to our dust because we had no outside ventilation. It is so crazy to think about the fact that we just have so little way of getting fresh air into our homes and no one seems to talk about the fact that cleaning products with toxic chemicals can literally just hang in the air we breathe.

Fortunately, these natural cleaning products are readily available at grocery stores and online these days, but I also try to save money by making my own. When I first started trying to make the cleaning products I felt like it was overwhelming to be able to replace all of the cleaners I used with homemade varieties. However, it truly can be simple and we are going to list some of our favorite replacements for the toxic chemicals.
