4. Natural and safe hand sanitizer

Sanitizing gel has become a common product that most of us use to remove dirt from our hands or prevent infections when we don’t have access to running water and soap, but hand sanitizers have many drawbacks and their use involves exposure to hazardous chemicals.

5. Air freshener for the whole house

Air fresheners have long since passed the threshold of the bathroom and penetrated every corner of the house. A wonderful smell is inviting and we can identify different places according to their smell. The problem is that a quick look at the list of ingredients on the back of different air fresheners leaves no room for doubt that while we make our house smell good, we also breathe in a lot of harmful and unnecessary chemicals.

6. Anti-lice spray

When you think about it, it sounds a bit absurd and unlikely that generation after generation suffers from the same annoying and contagious problem of parasites that travel and feed on our scalp. There are various products for treating lice on the market, but most of us still prefer to use products that are not loaded with harmful chemicals for our children, especially if they provide us with the same level of efficiency.

7. Mattress cleaning spray

Our mattress isn't regularly aired out, and in some cases, it never gets a good cleaning - somehow we feel that if we put it a sheet on it, it doesn’t absorb smells and dirt. But this is a mistake, and our mattress needs to be cleaned and aired out from time to time.
