How To Clean Your Home Safely

.Like many of you, the MWS team is at home cleaning our homes and apartments. These days, many people are using aggressive chemicals to clean, such as bleach and ammonia. But did you know that those very same toxic chemicals are really hazardous to our health? So how can you clean your home safely?

 Studies have shown that cleaning regularly with harsh chemicals can damage and weaken our respiratory system.  Making us more vulnerable and susceptible to respiratory issues, such as asthma, and can cause damage similar to smoking.  A 2017 study in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine that has recently resurfaced found that “regularly using house cleaning products could be as bad as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day”. At Manhattan Wardrobe Supply, we love the plant-based, non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning power of Young Living’s Thieves Household Cleaner!

Young Living’s proprietary Thieves essential oil blend has a fascinating history based on a plague. “This oil was inspired by the legend of four 15th century French thieves who formulated and wore a special aromatic scent. They believed the scent provided protection while they were stealing. French authorities recognized that there was value in this mixture. Upon the thieves capture, they received a more merciful punishment on condition that they divulge the ingredients in their secret formula.”

How to Clean Your Home Safely: The Recipe

This centuries-old recipe combines the essential oils of Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Rosemary and Eucalyptus Radiata. These oils when combined with surfactants (what connects the dirt to the water, like soap) derived from coconuts and other plants, works great and smells amazing! And the best part? No damage to your respiratory system, and no added burden on Mother Earth.
