Fertility and Hidden Household Chemicals

Many people trying to get pregnant aren't aware of the endless chemicals that bombard their bodies even in their own sanctuaries, their homes.  From toilet bowl cleaners, to dish washing soap to air fresheners it's a no wonder our bodies are chemically over loaded.  Here are some simple tips to cleaning out the chemicals in your house especially your kitchen.

A green kitchen is so simple and affordable. All you need is baking soda, vinegar and hot water and you can clean anything healthily and affordably in your kitchen. I buy both the vinegar and the baking soda in bulk at Costo and for about $10.00 and I can clean for 12 months.


For kitchen floors- use one part vinegar four parts hot water

For grout- use 3 parts vinegar, 1 part baking soda, 1 part hot water

For counters- 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar and put it in a spray bottle.

A green home makes for a happy womb.  Even making a couple of changes could reduce your exposure by up to 50%.  Good luck going green!
