Cats, dogs, and other pets love to be outdoors. Having your own garden and patio can give them the freedom and space to run around, while giving you the confidence that they will remain safe. While the streets may contain potentially fatal traffic, predatory animals and poisonous plants, have you thought about the safety of your own backyard?

Cleaning Your Home Naturally
Cleaning is tough when work is hectic and you have a growing family. Who wants to be cleaning in the evenings or the weekends after a long day or week at work? At DecorWorks, we sure know cleaning is a chore because of all the logistics that are involved in cleaning up the recycled wood we collect and source. Once you develop a cleaning routine, sticking to it will actually make your home life easier. After all, if you’re cleaning not just for one, but your whole family, a little dedication will go a long way.
Cleaning better doesn’t mean cleaning with strong detergents or chemicals. Some of the products used for cleaning are dangerous to your health and not-to-mention, the environment. There has been many links between respiratory diseases, skin irritations and other such unwanted side effects and toxic ingredients in commercial cleaning products.
Alternatives you can consider are, natural cleaners. These are solutions that are completely eco-friendly and pose no risk for the environment or to you and your family. Let’s take a look at 3 of these natural cleaners:
Vinegar – white vinegar is titled ‘champion of the all-purpose cleaners’ for a good reason. Mix equal parts of it with water in a spray bottle and you have yourself a solution ready to be used in many areas around your home. This solution can make wonders in the bathroom – the bath tub, sink, showerheads and faucets can all shine thanks to the properties of vinegar that combat soap scum and hardwater deposits. Vinegar can also be effectively used in window cleaning. Many people resort to vinegar when it comes to sanitising floors. Avoid using on wood floors, as the acid component may damage the material. If you have a problem with mould and mildew in your home, vinegar is definitely the solution!
Lemons and lemon juice – there are many uses to this wonderful citrus fruit. Removing rust and dirt stains, is easy thanks to the acid component of lemon juice. Much like vinegar, lemon juice can dissolve hardwater deposits in your bathroom or kitchen sink area. If you would like an effective scouring paste, you can mix some lemon juice with baking soda for perfect results. Disinfect and deodorise your countertops very effectively with lemon juice. Use it to assist in dishwashing or to create good hardwood polish solution with olive oil. If you are worried the trash area of your home is dirty, you can introduce some lemon to it. Run a slice around your bin to sanitise and give it a fresh smell.
Baking Soda – baking soda is very effective for scrubbing, which you should always consider when you require a non-abrasive cleaning solution. You can use it to clean the concrete surface of your garage as well. Oil grease and spills normally present some trouble, when it comes to cleaning service, but thanks to baking soda, you can effectively deal with it all. Baking soda is hands down the miracle cleaner around the home.
Each of these 3 solutions are harmless and quite effective. In case you have never used them in your cleaning routine, all we can say is, try it to believe it. Natural cleaners are eco-friendly, effective and you’ll save quite a bit from all the costs of commercial household cleaners.

Toxic Chemicals Causing Cancer?
Asthma: A Too Common Epidemic In an asthma attack, the smooth muscles that line the airways to the lungs suddenly become swollen and inflamed and tighten up, obstructing or blocking the flow of air and causing chest tightness, wheezing, breathlessness and coughing. In people with the disorder, various circumstances can trigger an attack, including exposures to irritating or allergy-causing chemicals, stress or exercise.
This chronic disorder has become increasingly common in recent decades for reasons that remain unclear. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, overall asthma prevalence in the United States increased from 7.3 percent to 8.4 percent from 2001 to 2010, with even higher prevalence among children.
Scientists and doctors believe that asthma may be caused by a combination of environmental and hereditary factors. Various health organizations and government agencies have been investigating the association of the disorder with the inhalation of certain chemicals, often in occupational settings. Authoritative bodies such as the Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics have compiled lists of chemicals, known as asthmagens, that have been reported to cause asthma. The above is from reports I have been reading as I compile material for a class on toxic materials in our homes.
