You Won't Believe What's in Your Laundry Supplies!

 

What does " almost everyone " wear on their clothes and breathe on

their pillow cases? The same chemicals that destroy septic systems

and leak into our lakes and streams!

 

Think about it when you lay your face down on your pillowcase.

Especially in the winter when it is cold and your hot breath (or your

child's)breaks down the following chemicals making them form a cloud

around your face, that you breathe all night. The " cloud " can be seen

with special cameras:

 

Phosphates (phosphorus a fertilizer that causes algae to grow and

depletes oxygen out of the water.)

 

 

 

The Toxicity of Laundry Detergents

 

Laundry detergent contains up to eight poisonous chemicals which

erode our immune system - some of which are the following:

 

Phosphates

Chlorine Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite)

Lye (Sodium Hydroxide)

Ammonia

Phenois

Fillers

Nitrilotriacetic Acid (NTA) & other NTA's

 

It takes three washes with a nontoxic detergent to remove the toxins

put in from store-brand's toxic detergents. If you do not have a

nontoxic detergent, it takes *16* rinses to remove most of the

poisons.

 

How can people hope to escape when they sleep between sheets which

have been dipped in eight toxic chemicals and then wear clothes all

day which have also been dipped in eight toxic chemicals?

 

 

Many areas of the US are requiring laundry detergents to be low-

phosphate. As a result, manufacturers replaced phosphates with

caustics which are 100 times more caustic than phosphate detergents.

Examples are:

 

Lye (Sodium Hydroxide)

Potassium Hypochlorite

 

These caustics clean by a chemical reaction that burns or eats away

other substances which wear out clothes faster and dull the fabric's

colors.

 

[David Kullberg, " Housework May Be Hazardous to Your Health " ]

 

The Merck Index refers to NTA as a " substance we may reasonably

anticipate to be a carcinogen (cancer causing substance.) "

 

Amazingly, it is still allowed in our laundry compounds. When we

consider the residue of caustic detergents, oily-film fabric

softeners that are chemically made to stay on our clothes ALL day,

and chemical perfumes and dyes, we need to ask ourselves if our

clothes are really clean?

 

Phosphates - Why do they use them in laundry detergents? Because they soften the

water and enhance performance. Phosphates are one of the contributors that

resulted in virtual death of Lake Erie in the

1970's. It also contributed to the ruining of Cascade Reservoir in

Idaho.

 

Our babies are breathing a cloud of all these chemicals while they

sleep!!!

 

Chemicals are not regulated by the FDA. They are not " Food or Drug " .

A company doesn't even have to put all the ingredients on a label! It

has to turn a list of ingredients into the government on a product

data sheet, but it doesn't have to put them ALL on the label for you.

 

Products do not have to be safe for humans or pets to be sold at the

store. They need only be labeled " Caution " , " Warning " , or " Danger! " .

 

 

Since 1950, over 70,000 new chemical compounds have been invented and dispersed

into our environment with only a fraction of these tested

for human safety.

 

What a horror to think that this overwhelming flood of chemicals is

abusing our children and their children by using them as

experimental " guinea pigs " in this massive clinical toxic trial which

sweeps our country.

Hi Carol,

 

Yes I do! The absolute BEST, nontoxic, cleans beautifully!

Inexpensive to boot, I wouldn't live without it, also use the

moisturizing soap for bathing and showering and hand washing, threw

all the other garbage away. Did you know that when you wash with

soap, you are clogging your pores with animal fat and chemicals? Yuck!

Eloise,

 

I've heard that just plain baking soda makes a good toothpaste - I've

never tried it.

Hi all,

 

Actually I have tried plan baking soda and I think it does a good job. My great

grandfather swore by it and he never had a cavity in his life.

 

Be Well,

Misty, I get mine at the grocery store. The washing soda is by Arm and

Hammer and looks like the baking soda box....yellow with red, etc......the

soap is usually in the soap section. I found the soap at Krogers, I think.

Bought 12 bars so its been a while since I only use 1/3 of a bar for each

making. Just ask your grocer and I think they would get it for you. It

ends up costing about $1 for the regular 3qt size.

I just saved 3 empty liquid detergent containers and have used them for

about 3 yrs. Does not suds at all and some people have a problem with that

Our mind tells us its not cleaning if its not sudsing but it cleans fine.

Hi Misty and All,

 

http://www.goddijn.com/soap/sfels.htm

 

From the Label on the bar of soap:

 

INGREDIENTS: Cleaners, soil and stain removers, chelating

agents, colorants, perfume.

CAUTION: EYE AND SKIN IRRITANT. Avoid contact with

eyes and prolonged contact with skin. FIRST AID: Eyes:

Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, call a

physician. Skin: Rinse thoroughly.

Keep Out Of Reach Of Children.

If you have questions or comments, please call toll-free 1-800-258-

3425.

 

 

As to the ingredients, pretty vague, eh? But anything that is an skin

irritant has to be POISON, and totally inappropriate for anything

coming in contact with skin, including laundry. It's probably LYE.

 

http://cator.hsc.edu/~kmd/caveman/projects/soap/

 

The Chemistry of Lye

Lye can be made very easily from lime and soda ash using a classic

metathesis reaction:

 

Ca(OH)2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) -----> 2 NaOH + CaCO3(s)

 

While lime is more alkaline than soda ash, when reacted together they

produce a stronger alkali than either of the two separately. Synonyms

for lye are caustic soda, and sodium hydroxide. It remains one of the

most important alkalis in modern chemical industry though it is no

longer manufactured from lime and soda ash. In addition to its many

uses in chemical manufacture, it is the most common ingredient in

drain openers and can be bought in the grocery store in the drain

opener section.

 

U.S. production of lye in 1989 was 10 billion kg making it the 9th

most-produced chemical in the U.S.

 

Drain cleaners? No thanks, not on my skin or, even worse, my little

girl's!!

 

They've been indoctrinating us for years with " better living through

chemistry " propaganda. ENOUGH!

Baking soda does indeed make a good toothpaste, and a great side-effect is you

won't be helping sponsor all those obnoxious TV ads.

I am relatively new to this group, but have found the information very

enlightening. There are several options for Phosphate free laundry

soaps. We have both Wild Oats and Whole Foods here, and they have

Seventh Generation, Ecover, and several other brands. The Whole Foods

website has several listed.

 

Along those lines there is a wonderful book on the market - I borrowed it

from my local library and liked it so much that I went out and bought it

- called Clean & Green, by Annie Berthold-Bond. " The complete guide to

nontoxic and environmentally safe housekeeping. " She tells you how to

make your own cleaners and what commercially available ones she has

researched and recommends.

 

Keep up the good work!
