122: Detoxing Your Home

Published: Oct. 13, 2016, 5:49 p.m.

This show is one of my favorites (and not because it's just me on the show). I was lucky enough to be asked to speak at the Gloria Gemma event in Providence called Passport to Wellness. This event is a free healthy living expo offering health, wellness, cancer care information and resources.  One area that is never talked about with cancer patients or survivors is the toxic chemicals that are found in your home. Carol, the administrator at the Gloria Gemma Foundation, was a two time cancer survivor when I met her. She came to one of my workshops and was surprised to learn that Comet has 7 known carcinogens in it. (Per EWG.org).   I showed her how to mix up a simple substitute cleaner with just baking soda, salt and oxygen bleach that works better than Comet. This led to me teaching other survivors and patients that we really need to look at what we are using in our homes and try to remove those things that can hurt our families.  This year I did a presentation called Detox Your Home.  I am including the slide show along with the audio. This is a simple overview of some simple steps to help you get started detoxing your home.  I hope you enjoy the presentation and if you have any questions you can always email me at Leslie@greencleaningcoach.com  If you want to get started switching out your cleaning chemicals, download my free new book called, The Joy of Green Cleaning For New Parents.
