House-hold Product Uses

Some of the well known products from Simple Green are the All purpose Cleaners that is widely available in your local grocery stores. But the other products range from Pet Stain Cleaners to Degreasers.

Most of the water that is available for drink in the US is very safe. They are tested daily for some contamination and others on a weekly or monthly basis. But still there is worry about pesticides and chemicals leeching into our drinking water after the county filters it. To prevent those types of worries, the Pur water filtration system company has created 2 types of water filtration systems. The first is the water faucet mounted filters – this basically goes over your water faucet in your kitchen sink or where ever you want it and filters the water that goes through it. The second type of filter is the pitchers and dispensers. You can fill these water containers and it filters the water as it goes through it in the middle. This is a convenient way to filter your water since you can take this while traveling or camping.

Why switch?

Some of the main reasons why you should switch from bottled water to a in-home water filtration system is for the money and the taste. Consumers out there like the taste of bottle water and the piece of mind about the quality of the water in the bottle. But to tell you the truth, bottle water is not FDA regulated, which means their water quality standards are lower than the water that comes out of your tap. Second, with a in-home water filtration system you can get clean good tasting water for pennies over the bottled water. Plus you will not add on to the carbon footprint by throwing away so much of plastic bottles. Also those plastic bottles leech toxins into the water. So with a filtration system, you can be sure that your family will be save from high cost and high toxins.

Cost of owning a Pur Filtration System

Both the filtration system have an indication that lets you know that it is time to change the filters. This is great since each family goes through drinking water at different rates. The faucet filtration system can cost you anywhere from about $30 to $55 and their filter replacements can be bought separately for future uses. The pitcher/dispenser can cost from about $25 to $35 and their filter replacements are available separately to buy for the future.

The Future

The Pur Water filtration company plays an active role in giving drinking water to remote regions in the world. Their newest effort is the filtration pack. This packet can be easily carried anywhere in the world and just emptied into a bucket of water. After stirring and straining, the water is now clean and drinkable. These packets are distributed to remote regions of the world to help stop the spread of water-borne illness.

So next time please think twice before buying that 24 pack of bottled- water. You can be consuming fresh, clean water right from you tap for only pennies.

Now a days there are many companies advertising their cleaning products as ‘natural’ and ‘green’, but beware that there are no standards set to measure if they truly are natural. Just having the word ‘natural’ and ‘green’ on the bottle doesn’t mean they were produced using organic or non-toxic material. More studies and standards are being established to help the consumers from being misguided.

If you haven’t, you should think about changing to organic and non-toxic cleaning products. Especially those of you who have children and pets. One of the most serious injuries that regular cleaning products cause is that children mistaking consume these cleaning products thinking they are fruit juices. Also when dogs or cats lick the freshly mopped floor, some of the residue from the cleaning products could get into they digestive system and cause harm. Also toxic chemicals around the house can increase your chances of infertility.

Lately, there have been many commercials for Seventh Generation natural cleaning products. I was definitely interested and started reading about them. Looks like they are really taking the initiative to educate people and to create natural home care products that truly are organic and non-toxic and mostly made from plant based extracts. The packaging also uses much less material than most traditional products. This is very important when thinking about waste disposal.  Their website had forums and blogs that you can join, get coupons and useful tips on how to make natural cleaning products at home.

I haven’t used any of their products, but will be testing out some soon to see if they actually get the job done. I’ve purchased natural cleaners before, but they didn’t clean the surfaces as well as the traditional brands do. From the forums and blogs, looks like the natural cleaning agents do work and are worth your money and time. The prices on these products are very reasonable too. If you want to think about the long term affects of artificial chemicals in our everyday life, then small steps like these can make a big difference. You don’t have to anymore hold your breath as you clean the bathroom.

Hopefully all the other major companies start providing us with non-toxic, natural home care products as part of their portfolio moving forward and a big part of that movement is us. They will only change if we demand for it. So go ahead and start changing and the other corporations will follow you.
