If you want to say YIKES to chemicals being flushed into the water supply
really read the labels on what people use to clean toilets with regularly. That stuff is really toxic. Along with most other cleaners people use in their homes, then the stuff is airborne so you can breathe and your kids, or family. That is a big YIKES, a double YIKES.
The air quality in a person's home is worse than standing outside. That is one of the reasons I don't have air conditioning, so I can open the windows; and, I don't use anything to clean with that is potentially harmful in any way at all. People exchange getting rid of dirt and germs for inhaling toxins and polluting the water supply in increments, and don't even realize the wrong doing.
Funny, I have a neighbor who tells me that she has to have air conditioning for her kid who has allergies. I can understand you don't want to add pollen etc into the home thru a window, but, then I see a cat walk by, wall to wall carpeting, she sprays the rooms with air fresheners etc, etc, I got to laugh.
The house is shut up tighter than a drum and they don't remove their shoes, so, little does she know the pollen and grass stuff is being tracked all over the home, upstairs, downstairs.
And, then for an added laugh, she gives him allergy pills, while he is petting the cat, singing with the bird in the cage, his little white tennis shoes are streaked green from the grass and his feet is on the furniture.
For conversation she brings out a new cleaner which works extremely well and cleans everything with it, even in his room.
She asks me, " doesn't it smell great in here?" That is the new wick spray product. Too bad it is burning my eyes while she is spraying it.
Just my 2 cents worth. lol.
