Thank you GrannyGravy13 - I’d never heard of Percy & Figg but looking at their products now. Completely non toxic which is exactly what I’m looking for.
Thank you!

Very good but sold in a subscription basis.

You do not have to get a subscription, but if you do it’s very easy to cancel, delay or change your deliveries.

Purdy & Figg is also available on Amazon, with no subscription.

I’ve started having more house plants in my house because they absorb toxins in the atmosphere. My daughter sprays Dettox on work surfaces all the time and it always makes me cough.

Look for the Leaping Bunny logo, which certifies that products are free from animal testing. Brands like Astonish, Bio-D, Ecover, Method, and Marks and Spencer (M&S), so they should be nasty chemical-free.

My cleaners only use those products.

The Bunny Free App is really useful it doesn’t just cover cleaning products, but makeup, perfume and bathing products.

I find a steam cleaner very good for lots of cleaning tasks, my hob for one as it soon whips any grease off. Otherwise Astonishing white vinegar with lemon can be bought at most supermarkets. Magic erasers have many uses - good at cleaning tea stains off cups, and those nasty stains under toilet seats ( don’t use the same eraser for both). Pure beeswax is expensive but makes a good polish. Clean glass with warm water and buff with newspaper.

Natural does not mean safe

wrt lung cancer in non-smokers. The first thing to be looked at should be off-gassing from the fixtures and fittings in our houses, including mdf, carpets, laminates and so on. The off- gassing does go away after a time but the damage might have been done.

I use a very sophisticated air cleaner in my home, the VOC indicator is not at its lowest today but is still at a safe level but I did use method spray to clean, so now it is not blue but is green. It turns red when I cook or bake

Also breathing in secondary smoke as children or through work environments will have potentially affected people by altering DNA, which can and does affect future generations. This can be overcome by epigenetics

It’s too late for me now as I’ve been breathing in these chemicals all my life, so any damage is already done. but I have my grandchildren over a lot so I want the house as safe as possible.

Have a look at supermarket own pure products I have used M & S, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Co-Op own brands, all ok and cheaper than Method.

Purdy & Figg are totally natural.

(As you can probably guess I am not supermarket loyal, more of where I happen to be I shop, never Tesco’s, Asda or Morrisons though, just cannot get on with them)

Yes. I use Method cleaning products, & whilst a lot better than most, they’re not completely ‘non-toxic’

Method products along with Percy & Figg

The only chemical I use is bleach down the lavatories.
