Blissfully Clean
A powerful all-purpose cleaner that’s great for tough stains. It’s made with natural clay, organic soap, and organic lemon or mint essential oil (unscented also available). Designed to be safe for people with MCS. It comes as a kit with one sponge and one wiper. The Wiper is hospital grade and antimicrobial (which means it removes 99.99% to 99.9999% of bacteria and spores from hard surfaces). They sent me a sample and I tested it by cleaning my tarnished silver and it worked great! Better than any toxic silver cleaner I’ve used, plus it has many, many other uses. Though this product is only very lightly scented, if you are at all sensitive, I recommend the unscented.
EnviroKlenz Odor Control Products
Products specifically designed to remove odors and chemical pollutants from surfaces around the home: counters, walls, floors…even car interiors! They were inspired by the special needs of people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS), who require a home environment as free from toxic chemicals as possible. These products remove both natural and chemical odors. They do not contain perfumes or fragrances, but instead capture and destroy chemicals that cause odors for true odor and chemical elimination. They are made from safe, natural earth minerals.A unique and advanced manufacturing process greatly enhances the beneficial odor neutralizing properties of the earth minerals and retain their natural safety characteristics. The earth minerals include Magnesium Oxide (MgO), Zinc Oxide (ZnO), and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2). Safe for use around children and pets. Comes in liquid and powder form for all household needs.
Drainbo Natural Drain Cleaner
A fast-acting, industrial-strength, all-natural, biodegradable drain cleaner without chemicals, caustics, acids and solvents. Made from "a seven strain bacteria formula that uses the natural process of biological decomposition that has kept our environment in perfect equilibrium since the beginning of time. It's nature's way of recycling and renewing through a steady decomposition of organic waste matter and its conversion to simple, essential substances. This ongoing process is the work of trillions of tiny, naturally occurring, living microorganisms that use organic waste as their food and energy source." Can be used throughout the house. Safe (actually beneficial) for septic tanks.
