Normal Household Items That Could Be Negatively Affecting Your Health

Cleaning items isolated on a white background
Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Sheets
Clean those buggers often! And when I say “buggers” I do mean because there are more bed bugs in your bedroom than you even want to know about. You want to relax and fall into your bed, pull up the sheets, stop worrying about anything and everything and just drift into dreamland. But while you are dreaming away you are also shedding one-half ounce of dead skin per night. And sadly, bed bugs are people too. Ok, they’re no, but they do engage in insect/animal things, such as dragging bacteria with them and leaving microscopic excrement in your pillow havens. It’s gross but true. Wash your sheets at least once a week and in-between washing make sure to flick them about before making your bed help air dry the sweat and moisture you left overnight. If you want to count clean-sheets instead of bugs to fall asleep, take care of your begin regularly.
Clean Off You Cleaning Machines
So when you upgrade (you’re going to, right?) be sure to at least get a vacuum cleaner that is geared up with a HEPA filter (high-efficiency particulate air filter) or look for the best pet vacuum and clean that thing after every use. While upgrading, skip the dinner and drinks this week and add an air purifier to your arsenal. 
Furry Frustrations
Whether canine or feline, rabbit or…ferret (?) our pets shed hair. We love them dearly, but they do require work. Pet dander is the devil’s work against a clean home and clean lungs, so you want to do what you can to reduce its impact on your life and home. I know you want to let them on your furniture and in your bed(s), but you really, really shouldn’t. I love animals but I don’t love traces of poop, smog, insects and general dirt on my pillow. It’s a conflict for many pet owners and can cause stress in households among disagreeing couples. The best for a healthier and cleaner house is to disallow them from being anywhere but on your floors. It’s easier said than done, but it’s the right choice.
Lung-Crushing Chemicals
Part of the reason cleaning solutions clean dirt and stains is that they’re jam-packed with synthetic and carcinogenic chemicals designed to break down solid substances. Think about it: If comet can cut through grease and stains and make your stainless steel shine like new, imagine what it can do to your lungs. Try going green, or, yellow as it turns out. Lemons are great, natural cleaners, as are white vinegar, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide. Avoid anything that lists “formaldehyde” as an ingredient, and run away from the toxic chemical Perchloroethylene (aka “Tetrachloroethylene,” as if that helps).

The Powerful Impact of Crafting on Child’s Emotional Development

  Emotional Benefits of Crafting Children’s minds and bodies develop swiftly as they grow and explore their surroundings. Arts & crafts are wonderful instruments that can help with this development.  Kids craft kits  allow them to get a hands-on experience where they can tangibly express themselves and immerse themselves in a haven of vibrant colours, varied textures, and boundless creativity! Boosting Self-esteem and Confidence Crafting involves the use of one’s hands to produce something by combining many different materials. They get to participate in what is, for them, a fun process that results in beautiful end products that are unique and personal.
