100% ORGANIC ULTRA CLEAR TRANSPERENT GLYCERIN Soap Base by Velona | Melt & Pure all Natural Bar For The Best Result | Size: 5 lb

How does the soap clean the dirt?

The structure of the soap molecules allows them to remove dirt easily. They are formed by a chain of hydrocarbons, with a sodium or potassium atom at the end.

The end of the hydrocarbon chain is attracted to grease and rejects water, while the other end attracts water.



100% ORGANIC ULTRA CLEAR TRANSPERENT GLYCERIN Soap Base by Velona | Melt & Pure all Natural Bar For The Best Result | Size: 5 lb

When you wash your hands, the greasy dirt particles are surrounded by soap molecules, and the ends of the hydrocarbon chain that are attracted to the water are facing outwards.

This breaks down the dirt, which is washed away by the water. Once after bathing we have asked ourselves: how much sebum do we lose when we wash our bodies?

Sebum is a mixture of oils and waxes that exudes our skin to lubricate its surface and to limit the growth of bacteria.

This does not require a large amount: even the most fatty areas of the body such as the head, produces about 0.03 mgr of sebum per square centimeter of skin per hour (in an adult individual). If you are a teenager with acne, this amount can be three times higher.

One person, on average, has a skin area of ​​about 1.8 square meters. If we assume that the body produces about half the tallow produced by the head, that means that the total production is 6,500 mgr in a 24-hour period.

Depending on how hot the shower water is and how vigorously we scrub with the sponge, one loses about half. That is, about 3 grams. In the case of adolescents, they can lose between 9 and 10 grams.

Natural body cleaning products for a non-toxic home

MIXED SCENTS: Case of 12 bars Pre de Provence 250g - Customize with your Choice of Scents

Nowadays, our houses are full of chemical cleaning products of the most varied, many of them toxic to our organism and contaminants of the aquifers of the planet, fundamental for our life.

In this week's program we talk about how to clean your house avoiding toxic chemicals for you and your family, and in a very economical way:

If you prefer audio, listen here This program of the secretary of Radio Agüimes where we participate with this section living conscious.


The problem of toxic and polluting cleaning products

The reports issued by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention point out that in one person there are hundreds of pollutants.

Many of these substances are frequent in any household, through paints, varnishes, cleaning products, fragrances, plastics, air fresheners, etc.

In fact, according to the US environmental Protection agency, the concentration of these chemical compounds in closed places such as houses is more than double that outside.

Many of the toxins that contain the cleaning products end up passing to the organism through the inhalation of those compounds or by contact with the skin.

In addition to the toxic effect they can have separately, the cocktail effect is uncontrollable by mixing compounds with others.

On the other hand, by pouring them at home by the sinks of sanitary ware, kitchen, etc. You incorporate them into the sewer system, compromising water treatment systems and their dumping to nature.

How to avoid chemical exposure in your home

The good news is that this toxic exposure is totally preventable.

In terms of cleaning products, you can have your house clean using a few natural cleaning products and some tricks.

You save money and, above all, you avoid polluting your health and that of the environment.

The downloadable ebook "Home without Toxic", by Carlos Prada, raises some general ideas that I also use and recommend:

•     Natural ventilation: The best way to reduce volatile contaminants, those that enter our body when breathing.
•     Air Purifiers: There are appliances that purify the internal air of the houses. I haven't tried them, but I know it's especially convenient in cases of allergies or respiratory problems like asthma.
•     Productos de limpieza naturales para un hogar sin tóxicos - Drácena
•     Purifying plants: There seems to be certain plants capable of capturing some contaminants. So explains it un informe that published the Nasa already in 1989.
•     These plants are, among others, the peace Lily, Ivy, trunk of Brazil, Chrysanthemum, Dracena, ribbon, Poto, aloe vera, Ficus, gerbera, etc.
•     Eliminate or reduce the sources of exposure: In terms of cleanliness, the recommendation is to avoid cleaning chemicals.

Alternatives to Cleaning chemicals: first step

If we consider the Council to eliminate or reduce exposure to cleaning chemicals, the question is how can you keep your home clean by avoiding harmful cleaning products for your health and that of the planet?

As the book "Home without Toxics" says, the idea is to clean without chemically soiling.
A belief that has been strongly rooted in our culture thanks to television advertising, mainly, is that ' smelling of chemistry is not smelling clean '. But they are very different things. For something to be clean it doesn't have to have a specific fragrance, and even less chemistry.

From my experience, the first step is to replace the chemicals you currently use for their natural or ecological version.

Careful, because a chemical can be advertised as natural if it carries a small portion of natural extract from a plant.

It is best to buy organic products in herbalists or ecological stores, as these tend to have more demanding ecological certificates .

There are some Spanish brands of ecological cleaning products such as:

•     Beltrán Soaps (its certified ecological range).
•     SolyEco (formerly Copán) which is a cooperative whose products contain no perfumes or preservatives or colorants. As far as I know, some of their products do contain some mild chemical surfactants.

I've tried both brands with good results.

Best known is the house Ecover, Belgium, which was the first ecological cleaning brand I used, and I liked it too.

There is also the Pure Natureonline Shop, which specializes in hypo-allergenic, ecological and non-toxic products. It is a German company, born following the diagnosis of a relative with multiple chemical sensitivity (SQM), and that controls that the products are safe for people with allergies and other environmental illnesses.

To avoid generating so much plastic waste to the planet, it is interesting to consider these options:

•     Buy Bulk Cleaning productssuch as those provided In Green Goccia. I would only recommend its hypoallergenic range, which contains no aroma.
•     Use soap in pill, either purchased or do it yourself (I still do not, but everything will walk 🙂). This soap is pill can then grate so that it is easier to dilute it, or even make liquid soap from it (I will publish recipe!).

Alternatives to Cleaning chemicals: Second Step

Although I still use some of the organic products that they sell in herbalists, I have to admit that it is because of a simple belief that if it is a specific product to wash clothes or make some foam when scrubbing the crockery will be cleaner.

In any case, my tendency, and what I consider to be more ecological and healthy for all, is the use and combination of some natural products that we all have at home and that are very effective and economical.

These basic ingredients are:

•     Vinegar: degreases (contains acetic acid, which reduces and cuts the fat), removes stains, is bactericidal, eliminates lime, etc. Besides, the smell goes off when it dries, so you don't have to worry if you dislike it.
•     They say that to clean it is better to use white vinegar because it is more potent, but I have no more information about it. If anyone knows anything else and tells me I will be very grateful!
•     For me it is best to use a vinegar that comes in glass bottle, more ecological and healthy, as discussed in the article on healthy plastic bottles and glass . Productos de limpieza naturales - Vinagre, bicarbonato y limón
•     Bicarbonate: It can be found as mineral in nature or artificially produced cheaply and respectfully with the environment. It is biodegradable, inexpensive and non-toxic; And among many other properties is bactericidal, abrasive for stains and deodorant.
•     You can learn more about baking soda in This publication of Ediciones Obelisco.
•     Lemon: Contains essential oils and bioflavonoids. It is antioxidant, removes stains and has a refreshing smell.

And these are some of their uses as cleaning products:

Washing clothes

Says Irene Bueno in this interview that performs Ana Moreno, which can simply be used 4 to 6 tablespoons of bicarbonate as detergent, vinegar as softener and lemon if we want an extra white result for washing white clothes.

What I usually use is a little organic soap for washing machine with 2 or 3 tablespoons of bicarbonate. And if I want to have some aroma echo a few drops of lavender essence in the container for the softener.

There is No need for softener as the bicarbonate acts asan anticalc, although it could also pour vinegar as a softener for greater action against lime.

For white clothes, I have also tried with good results to soak a while with hot water and oxygenated water, before washing it in the washing machine.

Wash Nutsare also well known. I have not tried them, as they are nuts from India and Nepal, and although for them I think the best option, I do not think for me is the most ecological considering the distance.

Scrubbing the floor

To scrub the floor you can use half a glass of vinegar in a cube of lukewarm water.

If the floor is made of marble or wood (which may have varnish) replace the vinegar with a little neutral soap (purchased artisanal, with certified organic or homemade).

I like to add a little bit of soap also in the bucket of water and vinegar, with a few drops of essence if I want to leave that whiff.

Clean the Crystals
Where I live for crystals I have to use plenty of water with some soap for the outside Windows.

But for interior glass just use vinegar directly on a dry cloth.

Scrubbing the crockery

Water with vinegar or lemoncan be used directly to wash cookware . What I do is I create my own dishwasher by mixing in a pot a little neutral soap, vinegar and water.

I do not fry or cook with animal fat that can be more difficult to clean, but if ever some food sticks a bit I leave a while soaking with warm vinegar.

In the blog of Eva (affected by multiple chemical sensitivity), also mentions that to scrub dishes is more hygienic to use a brush than a scourer.

Clean the bathroom

For the bathroom use my own mixture of water, vinegar, a little bicarbonate and a little natural soap (for that to see the Espumita).

And for the toilet, the trick is to pour some bicarbonate and then vinegar (create some froth with the effervescence), let it act a bit and then rub and rinse.

This method for the toilet, using more amount of bicarbonate and vinegar is really effective for unclogging pipes.

Clean the Dust

I have prepared in a sprayer a mixture of water put some vinegar (little because it can damage the lacquer or varnish, but never happened). I'm moistening a microfiber cloth and cleaning the surfaces.

If there is any stain that resists a little more, soaked more cloth and rub with more intensity, simply. Nothing resists! 🙂

Other cleaning uses

Both vinegar and bicarbonate can also be used to brighten silver, clean oxides, remove lime from coffee maker and faucets, etc.

In addition, the mixture mentioned to clean the bath, water with a little vinegar, bicarbonate (and my touch of natural soap:-)) can also be used for other surfaces such as bathroom tiles and kitchen, kitchen countertop, etc.

Soap Works Coal Tar Bar Soap, 8-Count with Free Soap Works Natural Wood Soap Dish

How to properly clean the vagina

The skin of the vagina is very sensitive and to many people perfumed soaps also cause irritation or itching.



Soap Works Coal Tar Bar Soap, 8-Count with Free Soap Works Natural Wood Soap Dish

It is an area where the skin is as delicate as the face. And not taking care of it can lead to infections that are so difficult to treat that they can not be cured with medicines. But perhaps many women have never received that fundamental lesson: how to perform their intimate hygiene.

"Low genital infections and all the problems of the vulva, stool, irritation, are very frequent and are very difficult to treat," gynecologist Natalia Pérez told BBC Mundo.

These infections are alterations of the set of microorganisms called vaginal flora or microbiota, and the crucial thing, at the time of hygiene, is to preserve the delicate balance of these microorganisms.

"The skin of the vulva is very delicate, it is almost similar to that of the face and we constantly attack it, because we use daily protectors, tight clothes or underwear that is not correct," warned Dr. Pérez, assistant professor of tract genitalia in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of the Republic in Montevideo, Uruguay.

What exactly is the vaginal flora and what are the basic hygiene tips to protect it?

"Acid" flora

The vagina has an acid ph, a natural defense against infections. The vagina has a whole microsystem of defenses "because it is prepared for intercourse trauma".

The vaginal microbiota is then "the one that will defend us from all the microorganisms that are pathogenic and that cause us disease".

The problem arises when there are changes such as bacterial vaginosis, which is nothing more than the alteration of the vaginal microbiota, according to Dr. Pérez.

"Instead of being in the right amount some germs, instead of being in the normal amount, increase in quantity because it just decreases the ph or increases the ph".

Bacterial vaginosis does not produce inflammation but a white grayish medium flow.

"The characteristic is that people come and say I have a bad smell, they speak of a pungent odor, a fishy smell and what there is is an alteration of the flora".

No perfumed soaps or colored clothes

What practical advice does Dr. Pérez offer for intimate female hygiene?

1. Do not use scented soaps

"You should not use perfumed soaps because they have substances that alter the vaginal flora," says the gynecologist.

"Soap astringent soaps that have a lot of caustic soda that kills vaginal flora, such as soaps that are called laundry bars, should not be used either."

vagina

The appropriate soaps are then those of glycerin, or those soaps "specific for intimate hygiene that now are like a shampoo, especially to wash the vulva".

"There are specific soaps for intimate hygiene that do so is to increase lactobacilli, the main germ of our microbiota."

The skin of the vulva is very sensitive and to many people perfumed soaps also cause irritation or itching.

2. Only water?

Specific soaps are tested on various types of skin and generally do not cause problems.

"But when a patient already has alterations in the skin of the vulva, it is right to remove all the possible irritants of the vulva, that is why in some people any kind of soap is discouraged and the washing is indicated only with water".

"This is usually until all the symptoms have passed or in people who have a lot of allergy, not all of them."

3. Keep the skin of the vulva and vagina as ventilated as possible

Dr. Pérez recommends "do not use daily protectors, or use only those that can maintain a flow of ventilation or air.There are some that are specific for that and have a plot that is not so closed, it does not leave the vagina and the vulva, so to speak, as covered. "

The expert also advises sleeping without underwear or with very loose underwear, since the humidity and excessive heat can also be harmful.

"You have to accustom the girls to try to sleep without underwear, nobody says that you walk naked, without some short of pajamas as loose as possible so that this area is ventilated, otherwise it is like having a part of the organism permanently covered, that area suffers ".

4. Always wash from front to back

"We women have the urethra, the vagina and the anus, and from the anus to the vagina one can drag germs that also colonize the vagina and alter the vaginal flora with bugs that do not have to be there."

5. Wear cotton and white underwear

"The fabric has to be made of cotton just so as not to gather heat, so as not to leave that area covered because the cotton has a mesh that lets the air pass," Dr. Pérez explained to BBC Mundo.

The Uruguayan gynecologist also warns about the use of very tight jeans.

And he points out that "it is better that the underwear be white or beige, sometimes the colored clothes are dyed with products that do not alter the flora, but in general the anilines used to dye can also alter the flora".

The black underwear, in addition, "produces heat in that area".

6. Change tampons at least every four hours

Dr. Pérez recommends, as much as possible, not to put anything in the vagina, but if tampons are used, it is essential to make a correct replacement.

"You can not leave a lot of time because it's a reservoir of blood, it should be changed at least every four hours."

"There are people who forget and spend a day with a tampon and that causes infections."

7. Do not wash inside the vagina

"There are people who are very obsessive about hygiene and wash themselves inside the vagina, that drags all the flora, kills all its vaginal flora."

"They are people who have a lot of flow problems and will have problems of low genital infections in the future."

"There are people who go to urinate and wash, you have to wash only once a day with a suitable soap."

8. Do not use a bidet

Washing in a bidet "is bad because it helps all the germs of the anus to spread all over the perineum and to enter the vagina".

That is why it is generally said that urinary infections are genitourinary, "because they can be germs that are in the vagina and go to the urethra." As it is an area where everything is together, you have to take care of it a lot ".

"Put the flora ready"

When infections in the vagina arise, ovules are usually recommended, "some tablets that are put in the vagina that are generally antibiotics," explained the doctor.

"What they do is kill the microorganisms that we have, for example, when we have a fungus, the most frequent is candidiasis, we also send ovules, we can also send antibiotics orally, but this is continuously altering our flora, because We kill that little mushroom, we also kill others that are inside our vaginal microbiota ".

The flow is a very constant symptom that "only with drug treatment we do not cure it, because it is an alteration of your flora".

"Until you put the flora to the point and in the right state, the symptom will not be cured."

Crate 61 Oatmeal & Shea Soap 3 pack, 100% Vegan Cold Process, Ideal for dry skin, for men and women, face and body. ISO 9001 certified manufacturer

8 body parts that you always forget to wash when you bathe with soap

These are the parts of the body that you always forget to clean and this makes them the perfect broth for bacteria and infections.



Crate 61 Oatmeal & Shea Soap 3 pack, 100% Vegan Cold Process, Ideal for dry skin, for men and women, face and body. ISO 9001 certified manufacturer

When we bathe or clean, it is easy to think that with just rubbing a bar of soap more or less homogeneous on the body we will be clean. While this may be true in some cases, it also happens that very often we forget to wash some body parts that often accumulate many bacterias.

These are 8 of the areas of the body that most people forget to clean up more often, make sure you're not one of them!

Back

Because of the difficulty of reaching some parts of the back, we usually do very superficial cleanings when we wash the back. The best thing would be to buy a special brush to wash your back or make your partner rub you with an exfoliating sponge or cloth 2 or 3 times a week to avoid developing skin infections.

Scalp

You don't need to wash your hair every day, but you must pay attention to your scalp daily. It is important to rub and massage the scalp every day to prevent the accumulation of dead skin cells, a breeding ground for mites and bacteria.

Under the fingernails

The area under the fingernails accumulates a lot of germs and if you don't wash it when you bathe or clean your hands, you're not doing a very good job. As far as possible, try to clean this region with soap, warm water and a cotton swab.

Behind your Ears

It may not look like much, but the back of the ears can accumulate a lot of fat and dirt, because it is filled with glands that secrete bait. If you don't clean it every day when you wash your face, it can produce moisture and bad smell, as well as a bacerias broth.

Navel

The high temperature of the navel, as well as its corners and crevices make it an ideal place to accumulate bacteria and dirty. Clean daily with a wet swab in alcohol or warm water and soap.

The plant and the sides of your feet

The soap that drains from the rest of your body is not enough to wash your feet properly while you bathe. You need to rub the plant and the sides of your feet, as well as the inside of your fingers. You must wash and dry every time you bathe to avoid fungi.
Elbows and wrinkles

How many times have you consciously washed your elbows? Probably seldom, it's easy to ignore the elbows, but you should avoid it. The elbows are the part of the body with which we support on dirty surfaces such as worktops, desks and restaurant tables, and a dry elbow full of cracks allows the passage of bacteria to your body. Clean with sponges or towels daily.

Neck

If you live in a hot place or exercise often, the nape of the neck is a warm, moist region that attracts mites and bacteria. Wipe with soap and water when you bathe or with wet towels.

Cleaning our body properly takes a little more time and effort than most people think, but if you make it a habit you will be able to keep even the hardest corners clean without major problems.

Colloidal Silver Soap - 3 pack

Cleaning the face

Many people have problems buying a cosmetic product for the face because most of those who have tested it produce adverse reactions such as redness, itching or tightness. This is because your skin is sensitive and therefore is thinner and more delicate than normal, characteristics that lead to care in a special way.



Colloidal Silver Soap - 3 pack

Factors affecting sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin tends to react to nutritional disturbances, hormonal changes, stress, climatic factors and irritating products, while in some cases the problem arises from genetic factors. Whatever the cause or degree of alteration, it must be treated with products that do not attack.

The solution: the micelles as cleaning agents

Finding respectful products to clean the face is not easy, as most are soaps formulated with irritating agents. In addition, for a thorough cleaning it is necessary that every certain time the skin is exfoliate to eliminate the dead cells, something that is even more aggressive with the common products.

The solution is to use products with micelles, not soap. The micelles have a similar end to the water and a similar one to the fat, so they can attract dirt and impurities, emulsify and remove them from the skin without irritating it.

BABÉ offers you a soap-free cleaning ritual
Thinking about the characteristics and needs of sensitive skin, BABÉ has devised two special cleaning products for her:

-  Micellar Gel Soothing BABE: It is formulated in such a way that it respects even the most delicate skins, because instead of containing soap, it incorporates micelles that are those that perform the cleaning action. It also contains betaine and licorice, which help soothe the skin.

-  Hydro-exfoliating Comfort BABe: Designed with extra-fine exfoliating particles that prevent irritation. It contains more microparticles than other products, which guarantees a smooth, effective and nothing aggressive exfoliation. In addition, its formula is enriched with Jojoba oil, an ingredient that reinforces the protective barrier of the skin, therefore, besides exfoliating, also maintains the hydration and natural elasticity of the skin.

Oxygenated water as an ally of cleanliness

Hydrogen peroxide, better known as oxygenated water, provides great benefits to household maintenance thanks to its disinfectant and antiseptic properties.

We share a list of uses that you can give:

• -Is an ally for the disinfection and cleaning of areas with minor wounds.
• -Helps to eliminate the presence of fungi in the feet and nails.
• -It is a whitener par excellence, even in the body as the area of the armpits and helps to combat the bad smell.
• -Another alternative as bleach is for white linen, you only need to add a cup of oxygenated water while soaking.

As you can see, this product brings great benefits for cleaning and body health. Avoid using high amounts of this liquid to avoid causing the opposite effect.

Why resort to wax rings when there is a leak in the toilet

Why resort to wax rings when there is a leak in the toilet

Although there may be other effective solutions to stop water leakage in the WC, we tell you why to resort to wax rings.

Toilet Bowl Ring Remove Product

In toilets such as bathtubs, shower trays, bidets or toilets, which have been installed for a considerable time, it is normal for water leakage to occur promptly. They are usually caused by the deterioration that can be experienced by the joints or elements used to seal the joints between them and the drainage pipes that evacuate the water. So, if you perceive a slight loss of water in your TOILET, don't be alarmed, because it has a solution. Do not lose detail of what we are going to tell you, and find out why to resort to the wax rings when you encounter this mishap, and how to use them.

Why resort to wax rings when there is a leak in the toilet

The wax rings have been used for many years because they are perfect to seal the area where they are placed. In the toilet are located in the inner part, next to the ground, where the drainage pipe is located, in the junction between it and the sanitary, and they act by closing everything around it, to avoid the leakage of water and that gases and bad smells are filtered under the cup of the bathroom.

Although it adapts very well to the contractions, expansions and sedimentation of the soils, the material that composes it has a very long lifespan. The wax can be affected by temperature changes, hardening with cold and deforming or even melting with heat, and stop performing its sealing function. Therefore, if you have not changed it, it is advisable to be pending to detect any irregularity, in case it is time to do so.

And how will you know? Well, easily. When the soil area attached to the toilet has water, it is likely that the ring is in poor condition or deteriorated. You may also perceive a bad smell, like a sewer.

To access the wax ring you have to dismantle the toilet, so before you get into flour if you are not clear where the water comes from, you need to perform a check to make sure that that is the problem. With a natural dye in the cistern or sanitary tank and pull the pump you will know where the water comes out.

Once it has been confirmed that the filter is safely caused by the wax ring, you must replace it immediately to stop the water leakage.
