We've been plugging in to freshen the air and breathing it in, washing our dishes in gawd knows what then eating off them.It all seems a bit silly when you really think about it. We've been wiping chemical filled liquids over our homes and filling the air with chemically fumes. Only if it's a real chemical stench do we think - "oo that smells really clean".

We've been cleaning our baths with bleachy, chloriney, chemically nasties.. sloosh it out a bit.. then fill it up and sit in the chemical residue! We've been brainwashed into thinking we need to kill all bacteria, even though we really don't and never have done. There's good and bad bacteria. Anti bacterial doesn't check which it is before it zaps it. We've been plugging in to freshen the air and breathing it in, washing our dishes in gawd knows what then eating off them.<

My point, and I do have one (!), is that it's really not good for us. We can all work out that it's not good for the environment to pour all that stuff down the drains and into our water ways for the fish and plantlife to deal with. But it's our own home environment we need to consider too. There's lots of stats available about the carcinogenic effect of household products, but I don't want overstay my welcome!
