REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Audit Toxic Cleaning Products in my HomeTo what extent do you believe that environmental factors contribute to your own health or issues with health?
maija johnson 10/05/2019 11:09 AMI have switched our house to as many natural products as possible. Our cleaning lady loves them so much I buy them for her to use on other homes as I think it just better for her health. Berta has told me that she does notice the difference the lack of fumes with YL products and that when she does have to use OTC chemical products how much stronger the fumes smell to her now that she is not around them everyday.
