SUMMARY:"Detox Your House Cleaning Products" and All-Purpose Cleaner Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Studies show that what we use to clean our homes is just as important as what we put in and on our bodies. When we use toxic products to clean our homes\, they will make their way into our bodies eventually. Indoor air quality can be up to 5 times more polluted than the air outside and much of that is due to the toxins that we use in our homes. \nThe good news is that we can still effectively clean using simple\, easy-to-find ingredients without the toxic chemicals; and yes\, we can still disinfect as well! Join us for an informational session and hands-on workshop on the steps you can take to detox your house cleaning products and make your very own all-purpose cleaner to take home with you to get you started.
