It is very important to keep your home as clean as possible. Vacuuming the carpets regularly will help to keep dust mites at bay, carefully washing items like your blender to remove germs, replacing bathroom items like face cloths, sponges and loofahs on a regular basis will also help avoid infections. However, cleanliness alone will not create a healthier home, because the greatest risks in your home actually come from the chemicals in common household products.
This includes foodstuff and it is essential that you read the list of ingredients before you buy anything. This also applies to personal items and things you may use around the house. Get familiar with the product ingredient lists, and try and find out what they mean, and which are potentially harmful.
As much as possible, buy and eat organic and free range produce, as well as organic meats to reduce your exposure to added hormones, pesticides, and fertilisers. Also avoid milk and other dairy products that contain the genetically engineered bovine growth hormone.
Here are some tips to help you on your way to creating a healthier home:
