Guest post Joanna Wilkins
The beginning of the new year is the most appropriate time to start leading a healthy life. For some people, this means to observe carefully the food that they put in their body and for other to visit the gym twice per week.
No matter what kind of changes you implement in your life, if you continue cleaning your home with fabric cleaning products, that “are supposed to give excellent results”, you won’t be able to live in a safe environment, which is an essential part of leading a healthy life. Say no to the professional cleaning materials and start preparing your own detergents only from natural products. They are really efficient and smell much more pleasant that the ones that you can buy from the shop.
